PETG absorbs a lot more moisture than PLA, so storage plays a big part in how well it prints.
I store mine in sealed boxes with reusable silica packs. Locknlock HPL889's will hold four 1kg rolls, and the HSM952 a single roll (although if you get rolls on the slightly larger cardboard reels, they don't quite fit).
I've also got an eSun filament drier (has a scale built in which can be handy to show how much moisture has evaporated out).
90% of my printing is PETG.
I put the current roll being used in the filament drier. If the last roll has been unused for a few days, I put it in an HSM952 with a few packets of silica.
Then once I have space in a larger HPL889, it's get moved there for longer storage.
I've also got a cheap temp/humidity meter in each box to give an indication that the contents are remaining dry.
It's also worth mentioning I've had brand new rolls of filament out of sealed boxes that are damp and give rubbish print quality, so now I open and put them in a small box with silica a few days before I need them.
