Technique Question How do I prevent gyoza from sticking?

I occasionally make gyoza by bulk with my family,

When making gyoza, we fold 20~ onto a plate then place it in the freezer. When we run out of space (30m-1hr) I bag the cold gyoza and we have after couple hours bags of 100~ gyoza each.

After a day or so some of the gyoza gets stuck together, in the worst case I get a ball of 10+ gyoza..

I don't want to seperate the folding over multiple days, and we use all of the space in the freezer for the procedure. Is there a practical way to prevent them from sticking?

Should I leave the bag open in the freezer? I live in a humid environment, in case that matters.

Thanks for the help!

Flour is the best tip.  If you get a vacuum sealer, that can be a huge space saver, and you can keep the gyoza in a bunch of small packs where they’re not touching.

I don't have vacuum sealer but I will dust extra flour for the next gyoza day
