Bead placement in humidor

So I've had my beads for a few days now, but I haven't put them in my humidor because I'm trying to figure out what containers I want to/should use to achieve the greatest effect. I heard somewhere that they'll have a better effect when the most surface area is exposed, so I was thinking of getting some of these, in the 3" D x 9" W x 2" H size for my 150ct humi and 3" D x 12" W x 2" H for my 250ct.
My first question is, should I worry about those containers affecting the taste of the cigars if they're sitting iin my humidors? Second, is this even that big of a concern, or should I just get any old plastic container that's big enough to hold them and the right shape to fit in my humidors and quit worrying about it? My other idea was just modifying a pill box from CVS to hold them. P.S. Just answered my own question... those are epoxy coated steel, and thus I imagine would rust.

To answer your question, I'd say don't over-think it, just grab a smallish gladware container or something similar and roll with that. Oh, and use more than what is recommended for the cubic inches you need to humidify, I find that works pretty well too.

if you have the cigar oasis in there I would just use the beads to keep the RH from getting to high. personally i wouldnt charge those.
