I have a lot of Thickers whose storage envelopes have ripped or otherwise fallen apart. I have too many for a spinning storage rack. Does anyone know of an envelope system or otherwise that works for thickers?

I would put them in a sheet protector, in a three ring binder. Easy to flip through and grab the ones you want to use.

I was able once to buy some page protectors specifically designed to store thickers in a 6x12 album
Pretty sure they were AC brand but I haven’t been able to find them recently

Thanks very much all! I think I’ve got too many for the scrapbook.com holder but the ziplocks look perfect.

I have my old letter sets in a flat basket. I have my more current letters and phrases in a Kallax cube.   |

I think those are the ones Paige Evans used to separate her Paige’s pals Mini Album kits in. At first I thought these are great, but one has already ripped at bottom. Also some items need to be removed from packaging to zip it up. But if you just put one set of thickers per bag, I think it would be fine. |

I like this one! I bought the PL card holders and they are pretty great so far. |

I like these, too! They would be great in the scrapbook.com item posted above |

Yes…I use that storage container from scrapbook.com for my alpha stickers along with the 6x12 clear poly bags. Works perfectly.

I use 6x12 zip top bags from Amazon (the brand was different as I am not in the US), and I love them for this purpose. I can get one set, sometimes two in a bag. Then I just sort them by colour in a shoebox. It is a cheap solution that does not take up a lot of space, so I am happy with it.

I tried to get two of them the day after their last sb.com exclusive sale and they have been sold out ever since. I ended up putting them in two 31 File Totes. They fit perfectly in the tote and on the Kallax. A little more pricey though. |

Thickers fit really well in multi purpose bins from the container store, too. I’ve tried lots of different storage from clipping them together on a binder ring and hanging them on hooks on the underside edge of my desk to the 2 drawer cube from Michaels to an album with divided page protectors to the container store bins. At the moment, I think they’re stored all of those ways. I should combine them all together, but I haven’t really found the perfect system yet.

I put them in a 6x12 poly bag, seal it and then organize them in drawers (have filled 3) by color.

I keep them on their side in the middle section of my Raskog cart, and it’s a perfect fit. The second level means it’s easy for me to flip through them. I used to have tons and tons of Thickers but sold a lot of them, so it’s more manageable now. I put all of my 6x12 alpha sheets in there. I keep the used sheets on one side and new ones on the other with a divider sheet in the middle.

The poly bags from Amazon I linked above are clear.

I repurposed several CM Deco file folders to divide them by color. The folders fit well on the top shelf of my Raskog. I use the holders for the file folders to keep my small alphas (non-Thickers) and rub ons.
