Hola a todos:

A qué se refiere sleeves? al envoltorio o bolsa que está en el interior de la caja?
Muchas gracias!

Explanation:
You are correct: "Sleeves" refers to the bags inside the box in which a certain amount of crackers are wrapped for freshness.

The directive here seems to be to take such sleeves and (without opening them) place them in freezer bags (I assume the sealable "Ziploc-type" bags are intended here) and place them in the freezer.

Although I have to say I don't understand why one would have to "freeze" mass produced crackers, given that they typically contain enough preservatives to have a very long shelf life.

I also wonder if the texture and/or taste of crackers that have spent months in deep freeze would somehow be compromised.
