The summer crash wiped out the original reply. Re-writing it...
The archival storage, you need only two considerations:
(1) flat without pressure,
(2) darkness without moisture/humidity.
For me, that's a drawer in an office file cabinet, in spindles.
Spindles rest discs on their nature hub, keeping discs flat and not subjecting it to pressures that may warp, like wallets and cheaply-made cases. The interior room-temperature atmosphere is fine for the discs, and silica gel packets in between the spindles help keep moisture out of the drawer. The discs are not harmed by light. Because you're not likely to use these discs much, there is no consideration for wear-and-tear, removing discs from spindles (and potentially dropping them while handling).
A small metal or plastic box, with several spindles inside, and some silica gel packets, would be perfectly fine. I would avoid cardboard, as it attracts moisture, and it provides no water-damage protection, being on the floor. Moisture leeches upwards from the floor.
If that won't work, let me know why, and I can attempt further suggestions.
