 Remind me to not trade prints with ya 
OP the standard is for the most part to use foil. Most vendors use foil as do most people who print and trade in the marketplace.

I use foil for long term storage and trades, and mini-tupperware for syringes.
Anything more complex than those is just asking for trouble.

i think the OP was more looking for something more substantial. slides and sterile plastic, sealed with packing tape.

packing tape comes clear in many sizes.
the imaginative, would lay slides in patterns or sheets . or , one could show some artistic sense, and select caps slide sized.
generally speaking, the slide is a standard for bio samples.
for those who insist size counts, wide mouthed lids , sterilized use the white side, and sandwich them, then cover in packing tape.
i often, just put them on sterile plastic. in they form, they can be stockpiled and hidden, if some very creative places.
back in the 90's we had a double canvas painting in the living room, that was lined with spore prints on thin plastic.

well then just throw em on foil and be happy. the OP didnt stipulate it was required to be free and instant.
the question, seemed to indicate serious storage.
personally, i like a durable, clean long lasting print, thats easily concealed.
professionalism, implies a certain degree of effort.

tinfoil works fine and does the job just as well. taking steps like that is just... unnecessary 
OP you should be using a still air box or glove box to further promote sterile working conditions. when you (or someone else) go[es] to utilize the spores for growing methods, you will want to work with agar to germinate them anyway.

thats your response...... if you consider tinfoil , the most professional thing. it certainly defines your professionalism.
odds are, the OP was aware of the obvious. sometimes , serious growers need more.
