Which is Best to Keep Sterling Silver Pieces?

Within a plastic bag with an anti-tarnish strip?

or

Wrapped in acid-free paper and then placed within a plastic bag with an anti-tarnish strip?

In addition, the item will be placed in a jewellery safe gift box with flocking inside.

When buyers buy an item ready for a present ahead of time I want to ensure the sterling silver item will have remained as tarnish free as possible when it is ultimately received as a gift.

Guidance on the best way to ensure this happens would be very much appreciated.
