Hello,
Do any of you store your 2x3 stamps upright in a container? If so, what conatiner(s) have you found useful? I'm currently re-organizing my space and de-stashing in the process and these small SC stamps are giving me a headache thinking of how I can store them. I currently use refrigerator organizing bins to store all of my stamps in an upright position on my utility cart. Thank you for any assistance!

I store my 3x4 stamps in postcard sleeves. Like baseball card sleeves but larger and like the stamp pockets we all know of, but smaller. I bought some of this initially to try shakers, but discovered it is essentially the same backing material that we see on stamps, so I cut it down to 3x4 and adhere 2 2x3 stamp sets together onto the same sheet. I use a glue dot on the side of the stamp with the printing to attach to the sheet, but you could also use a 2nd 3x4 piece and remove the 2 smaller 2x3 backers from the stamping side and replace that, too. I think that would make them even sturdier. If you don't want to keep 2 (or 3 if you have 6x8 stamp sets, too) sizes of pockets, you could apply the same concept to adhering them to a 4x6 backer. If you opted for this, I'd definitely recommend replacing both sides to make them sturdy. It would also help solve problems if you have old school 1x6 SC stamps. You could also double up 3x4 stamps the same way...I just found that I preferred my 3x4 sets stored separately rather than sharing a 4x6 pocket.
I use discontinued TJENA containers for my 3x4 stamp sets, but the Fridge Binz would work really well with these pockets, too.

I keep the small stamp sets in a small basket in the original packaging.
Nothing fancy.

Most of those tiny SC stamps I just keep in plastic baggies es on my clip it up. Sometimes with small sets I will combine a couple in an Avery Elle pocket in the regular bins I have.

I have the stamps upright in the basket like you would for the fridge bins. It is just a smaller size to fit those stamps better. 😃 |

I use scor-tape and put several of them on a 4x6 sheet of cardstock and then store them in a stamp sleeve with the rest of of my 4x6 sets. I also do this for 3x4 sets. I label each sleeve with what sets are in there and try to keep similar ones together.

I label each sleeve with what sets are in there and try to keep similar ones together. I do something similar but don’t use any adhesive. Avery Elle pocket + a piece of cardstock is rigid enough to just drop them in and let them sit one above another (hope that makes sense!). The pockets are tight enough that they stay in place like that and they are all visible on the white backer. |
