They do not need to be refrigerated but should be used within about 6 months for best quality.

No. They are hermetically sealed from any bacteria.
They shouldn't be kept in direct sunlight, however, because it can make them burst.
Think about a bottle of ketchup...they stay on the shelf for months at a time in some cases. Same deal with packets.

Nope, they're not opened. Ever notice in the store that a bottle of ketchup isn't refrigerated? Same principle. I keep my extra packets in the cupboard in a basket.

No just keep them out of the sun and heat. They should be fine.

only if you open them and use only part, and expect to save the rest. Unopened they can be kept in the pantry.
