Great idea. I constructed my "homemade" partitioned box using bookboard scraps, but this one looks better...and I'm sure it's lighter. |

I use a similar container, but put all the mounts (that fit) in business sized envelopes labeled with their size. Mounts longer than an envelope stay in their original packaging underneath the envelopes. I have enough room to put my size guide and Showgard cutter inside as well. |

I just stack them up and use rubber bands to hold the packages together. I'm seeing better ideas in this thread. Thanx. |

You mean I can organize my mess neatly? That is a very good suggestion. I wonder why mount manufacturers, themselves, don't produce a nice lightweight mount storage box? I also wonder if there aren't other ways to do this, for example an "accordion file" with each size mount going into a separate compartment that you'd label on the tab at the top. Would that work? Or one of of those plastic rolling drawer units which often come with partitions you can install in each drawer.
This is a very good idea. Now you've got me thinking. |

Funny you should mention accordion file. I tried to find a way to keep my Scott Classic Catalog easily at hand. I found that a hanging file works perfectly and takes up very little space and supports the catalog safely. |

I use the Sterillite container. I have black and clear mounts. I have fewer clear sizes now as I use HAWID and just buy 2 sizes and trim to height needed.  |

I got a small plastic tote similar to your box from the recycling center from work; after cleaning and sanitizing it, it holds ten different mount sizes. Looking forward to the upcoming stamp shows to restock my collection. |

Terrific suggestion. Thank you! I ordered one and it arrived yesterday. What a difference it makes, especially as a time-saver. |

I ordered as well. They work great. The strips work and can use the dividers to separate precut sizes. Thank you for sharing. |

I will stick with my 1970's ladies shoe box. For the record, at my house we don't even keep forks, spoons and knives together. They are just dumped in at random. |
