Butcher paper or freezer-quality Ziplocs make a huge difference. When I used to buy a quarter beef, there would be over 100 lbs. of beef in my deep freeze at any given moment, mostly wrapped in thick butcher paper. Ground beef was in plastic sleeves. It would be in there for over a year at times, and I never noticed even the slightest burn
A lot of freezer burn comes from the auto defrost common on kitchen refrigerators. When the temperature regularly cycles above freezing, the packaging has a nearly impossible job.
