Freezing Film

I am interested in information for freezing large sheet film? I use HP 5
plus and use sheets up to 12x20 inch.
1) Is it necessary to place a box of unopened film in an airtight plastic
bag first before freezing it or can I just put the boxes directly in the
freezer?
2) If a box has been opened already , some sheets used and then the box is
resealed, is a plastic bag needed?
3) How about refreezing film a second or third time such as film that was
thawed and the film was not used on a trip so it is refrozen?
4) Has anyone had any problems with freezer burn on film in these cases?
5) Any recommendations with the type of freezer needed?

Thanks in advance
