I guess you can use regular paper, I prefer wax paper because it's easier to scrape off the pollen powder (won't stick to the wax surface) and it can protect the stored pollen better against moisture.

To air dry the collected pollen before you store it in the fridge, just keep it in a cool and dry place to ensure all the moisture evaporated before you seal the packet. Make sure the packet is open to enable the mositure to evaporate fully.
