Bread must be stored in order to delay its [[spoiling]], which normally occurs by either going [[stale]] or growing [[mold]].  There are two common methods of storing bread:
 +
* Bagging:  Bread normally comes in plastic bags, unless purchased fresh from a [[bakery]].  This plastic bag prevents loss of [[moisture]] from the bread, delaying it from becoming stale.  The bag also prevents the [[deposition]] of mold [[spores]], by means of acting as a barrier.  Typically, bread bags are held closed by a specialized clip mechanism known as a [[bread climp]]  This is a small plastic square, which functions like a clip, but with no moving parts.
 +
* Boxing:  Bread is also stored in bread boxes, a [[specialized]] container made of metal, [[ceramics]], plastic or even glass.  Bread boxes have the same advantages that bags do, with the added advantage of protecting the bread from both crushing and [[vermin]].  Bread boxes are extremely popular in America and Britain, and inspired the phrase "bigger than a breadbox"
