You can freeze chips/crisps indefinitely. I used to work for Frito Lay. Just thaw them when you get close to snack time. Of course I never do this because I just eat the chips I have at home.
I mean, if they’re bagged in a low humidity environment and the bag stays sealed, there should be very little chance of them getting soggy. Because in order for them to get soggy, the bag would need humidity.
My instant thought was that that’s amazing, my next thought was along the lines of how badly that would murder freezer space unless you open the bag. Can I open the bag?
Never tried, but I think it would work. Oxygen is the enemy, but the reason is because oxidation leads to other byproducts that lead to a stale flavor. I believe the cold temperature slows all that down.

I only interned there, but the handful of times I thawed the chips, there were no issues.

I suppose if I really wanted I could buy a tank of nitrogen, too.
