It depends on what type of bulb you are storing but I doubt any bulbs like a sealed containment. They have a tendency to rot from their own moisture if inclosed.
I have never had any luck with winter storage, maybe because our basement is too warm.
I had best luck with Asiatic lily bulbs in pots with potting soil , stored in my attached garage. These were in big boxes surrounded with wadded newspaper for insulation.
