How can I keep my touch up paint from evaporating!?!

Hey guys,

Today I pulled out my touch up paint so I could fix a few nicks I got on my car.

The paint shop that painted my car gave me this DuPont paint jar so I kept the lid tightly closed, put the jar in a plastic bag, then put the bag in a box, then put the box in a cabinet, and the cabinet is in my garage.

After opening the lid of the jar, I noticed that my paint is half way gone! Anyone have any idea to prevent this? I can only guess that evaoporation has got to my paint.
