These are excellent containers for storage… I also use them. I use a label maker and print it out to stick on all my containers. I also have found out the baseball card boxes that Bobgnar mentioned are really awesome for bigger storage items like all my terrain pieces (trees, jungle, buildings) I usually take out the dividers though as you can pack much more in without them. And the great thing about them is they come in all different sizes. I mostly use the Plano plastic containers for most of my figures… putting a magnetic strip down each of the 4 sections inside (most of my troops are on metal stands) and the best thing is that you can pile 5 containers in a a regular banker's box (Staples) and then easily carry them in or pile them on each other (on a dolly) to carry your stuff into the convention for setting up your game table.

Like many of you, I own a lot of games. With some games, there's a rulebook and that's it. For other games, you may have multiple books and supplements, templates, cards, special markers, and other stuff which you don't want to lose!

Book, template and cards

I don't like throwing things in the box the game came with, because game boxes these days are often flimsy, and the box is never the right size. So I went to the store hunting for a suitable storage box…

Storage boxes

The box I chose is a 11" x 14" clear, stackable, plastic storage box from Sterilite.

Storage box

The Sterilite label easily peels off.

Everything goes in the box

Miscalculation! The template won't lie flat in the box, which limits how much I can fit in there.

The filled box

I was also hoping that by using a clear box, I could tell which game it was without having to label the box. Well, I guess it needs a label!
