Which brand do you have. I want to be able to store my hero arts kit club stamps w/o I having to cut it in half. I want to keep the dies and stamps together. I how thick are the plastic. I’m worried of tearing easily.

I use Avery Elle knockoffs from Amazon. I keep my stamps in those and dies are on magnet sheets that I get from Lowes. If I have stamp/die sets, I keep the dies in the stamp envelopes. AE Knock-offs |

I started out with the Avery Elle stamp storage bags but have moved to the Ellen Hutson brand which are much sturdier (and, of course, more expensive). Too many of my AE bags have torn. And especially those with stamps and their matching dies.
I buy the small size and they are the same size as the AE.
ETA: never mind, I don't think EH makes a size that will work for the Hero Arts sets.

I use the Avery Elle storage pockets, but the next batch I buy will be the no-name brand from Amamzon. freeatlast - the Ellen Hutson ones are  . I like buying the EH branded stamps/dies because they come in these great pockets already labeled! For the big Hero Arts sets, I use the big pockets from MFT. Although I hate when things aren't uniform. I may try to cut the set up to make it fit the smaller pocket. |

I use the Ellen Hutson and like how sturdy they are. My stamps and dies are stored together. I also use the vent magnets too. I don't notice much difference between those and the Ellen Hutson magnetic sheets. I label the envelope with the brand, name of the set, item # and how many dies and stamps there are.

I have all of the above - EH for large, AE for medium, and CD storage pockets for small.
I have a few large stamp/die sets that need pockets for storage, so the MFT suggestion is a good one. The vent cover sheets are a great idea, too!

Do you remember using those reports covers with the clear plastic and the sliding plastic bar? Staples link.For some reason, DH had a box of about 50 of them, just the covers without the slides, so I'm going to cut them to fit the magnetic vent covers and just tape up the sides. They won't look gorgeous, but they'll function, and they won't cost me anything. Most of my dies are in an old 4x6 photo album, and it's only the oversized dies and some of my alpha sets that will be going on the vent covers. I'm keeping some of my alphas in the packaging they came in (on the cards, stuck on with globby glue dots), so it's really just the alphas that were mailed loose in a bag from AliExpress that need the vent covers. And all the cards and vent covers and the album are kept in a cute tote bag that I won in a raffle - it came filled with two bottles of wine and some chocolate  |

I use the 5x12 inch Deflecto magnetic vent covers from Walmart. I put my die sets in Quart or Gallon Freezer Slider bags. Most of mine fit in the Quart but my Karen Burniston die sets are larger and I use my "faux" Fuse WITH the Fuse tip to make the gallon bags smaller. Freezer bags are thicker and I prefer the slider since it closes fast and is actually CLOSED unlike the ziplock type bags. Some of my die sets have teeny tiny pieces and I want to make sure they stay in there. All my small QK type dies are in baseball card pages in a zippered 3 ring binder. I won't tell you how many of THOSE I have! |

Reduce your stash and save all at once! jjb how heavy/ thick are the bags you linked? Some of the other sizes looked useful too, like the one with passports and business cards. |

anonrefugee just got them today! They are a nice thick material. I'm not even sure what to compare it too. It's more stuff than a freezer bag. And it has a zipper top.
