I'm sure that most (if not all) of the readers of this page have encountered storage issues at some time or another. My biggest problem is that I have been gaming for nigh unto five decades and have never sold any of my painted armies (I have given the odd one away from time to time) Needless to say I have a few toy soldiers. As the years passed I bought all sorts of storage bins to keep them in. Of course none of these were designed to work together so I ended up with lots of wasted shelf-space. I finally decided to sort that mess out and ordered storage boxes that custom fit my shelving units. link

Like everyone in this for decades me as well, always thought of posting my boxes, easier in its all one game |

The fold-up cardboard boxes are crazy cheap (around a buck and a half including shipping) and come in every imaginable size! |

I moved all the microscale into fold-up cardboard boxes over the past year. 28mm are in hard plastic clamshells with foam inserts, but the 30mm Napoleonics are pretty much in the plastic shoeboxes of your first photo. I like it for them--consistent, stackable and visible. |

I NEED new storage and this looks good. |

I like it/them. Label everything, on at least two sides. |

I spent the afternoon/evening moving about a third of the 28mm figures over into the new boxes. This very much appeals to my sense of organization.

Like you I use folding cartons. Mine are lined with sheet magnet and all figures are mounted on steel. Very efficient and as you say, relatively cheap. Plus they don't discontinue box sizes. I make labels in Powerpoint:
As I am now getting ready for a move I have boxes into which these go for the movers. Any box that i worry might slide around during the relo gets filled with shredded paper. Snugly fitted you can shake the crap out of a box and nothing moves at all. |

Extra Crispy, That is absolutely epic!
I am going to steal your idea for labels. |
