I roll mine up and place in a plastic bag. This works good if you are only adding a few hides at a time. As wissmiss suggests, cardboard works great but I take it a step further and use cardboard boxes to separate hides.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Roll up pelts with dry fur, fur out, in a plastic bag with the air squeezed out. Write on the bag with a marker-species and date caught\frozen,and any with dmg can be marked too.Place in the freezer,to freeze.If you put a lot in at once,rotate the ones from the inside to the outside after 24 hrs so they all get frozen in a timely manner.

I hate freezing large animals like beaver, on the carcass.You have to plan a couple days ahead to process them,and by the time they are thawed out and ready to process something or someone always requires my time right then. Large animals that are frozen when you bring them in off the trapline in winter,can be hung in a woodshed,or unheated garage for a few days but should be thawed and processed within a week or they will start to get freeze burnt\dried in the extreme dry cold outside in winter.

I do that too(wet the leather side before rolling) with non fatty skins rolled up green that I am going to keep in the freezer.
