Well, it's been a couple of weeks now and no sign of anything untoward.

 I hope it doesn't, I'd be upset for you!
@finbob, apologies I hadn't seen your reply, yep that's a idea. The Mrs also had me looking at those resealable file hole punched types, like you sea for sea fishing rigs (similar to the Fox ones). She works in stationary so knew what they were called which helps 
For now they sit in packs....annoying me

Found the Flambeau box on Ebay and almost immediately got an offer of a £1 off, so went for it. Perfect size for the Squirmz, it's all loaded up so I'll let you all know if it goes horribly wrong!

Could try small resealable bags (off ebay)
I buy varying sized bags so carry small lures up to 2" in 1 x larger resealable bag and within could have 10 x smaller bags for diff makes/colours and then another larger bag for 2"-4 " etc , creature baits, floating baits and so on.
Stores my jig heads and drop shot weights likes this too. Its neat, and light, they dont clatter in boxes and easily identified. Easy to take out the sizes you dont want for the venue too and store in car.
I take a small box while fishing and chuck about 10 lures i may use that day alone (easy to access)
I have had them go to mush/leach against other colours. best to keep them out of the light and away from warm sources.

I had a quick look round before af the Elaztech proof stuff, most seem to be ways of carrying the packs whole like the Plano KVD or 3700 worm boxes. Then there's the z man bait blockz and their price, good god!

Only had a couple of packets of each colour and size 'Squirmz'. Usually buy all my softs from AGM and I'd rather give them my money than AD, but 60p was too good to ignore!

Korum softs which incidentally, are only 60p a packet in AD at the moment.
I've got another load on the way, last lot here in 3 days, this lot not even processed in 3 days....hope you've not nicked them all
Might be a good shout to have a separate soft box. It does make me wonder if they're even safe in the same tackle bag as others if not sealed.

These are supposed to be "ElazTech" proof:

I haven't tried them myself yet, but considering them for my Korum softs which incidentally, are only 60p a packet in AD at the moment.

That's exactly it. Also, don't leave hooks/jig heads in those baits and some others as some are impregnated with salts that will eat hooks and damage leads.
Some of my packets Korum Floatex and Fox Creatures say store in packet only (I confirmed that with Korum/Pure). The lures aren't even safe in some tackle boxes. I mistakenly put 1 in my slimline plano, within 4 hours it was tacky and turning to mush!
Annoying really, I hate packets loose in my bag. The Fox Creature packs are hole punched to go in the fox wallet but the wallet is being discontinued. Anyone have a good way of organising these packets? At the mo I'm thinking tall tupperware!

Also had this - different chemicals in the plastics react with each other, Zman's elaztech plastic are particularly good at "eating" other plasctics.
Best to store them in seperate plastic bags..

Try future fishing at newark or tackle UK.
You can get a rod for £25 Korum ,Shakespeare & HTO all do rods in that bracket.
Braid, Flourocarbon, few jig heads and lures, net and small mat and some unhook gear will get you going. Dont get starter kits -they are usually pants but i know Tony and lads at Future could sort you out a great deal if ask.
PM me if your struggling or need advice

I made the mistake of looking at the Outlaw Pro predator sale, arriving today 13 packets of various Perch things for £26 delivered
A lot of the Korum Snapper range on clearance at £1.50 a pack of 6(in my case), some Fox Rage at £2.99.
How long is this slippery slope.....

I trod this path last year and got some really good korum stuff which was reasonably priced compared to the fox range stuff.
I would also say worth getting some jig heads as better way of finding the fish/shoal... then move to a drop shot once you have found them.
