I seem to have a growing pile of collection kits and I need a better storage solution for them. I would prefer vertical so I can flip quickly to the one I'm looking for. I don't want too big because I'm happy with the current size of my collection and want to use them vs collect them.
Currently they are in a drawer with the overflow stacked on a shelf.
Ideas?

I keep all of my patterned paper in collections, with most of the coordinating embellishments too. I generally scrapbook by collection, so it works for me. My collections are stored in ziploc bags, then in bins or totes. Some of the bins I have are older and no longer available, but I also use the 13x13 Threshold fabric cubes from Target and the multi purpose bins from the Container store. Heather Balzer on you tube recently shared how she stores hers in her Kallax cubes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ootfnYamrSgHope that helps. |

I love these Container Store bins for 12x12 collection (and home made) kits. I use the Medium and Large sizes. They are surprisingly affordable for the Container Store  CS Multipurpose Bins |

I have some sturdy lined wicker baskets I purchased at JoAnn for my kits. I tried fabric baskets, but they tip over.

I store each collection in these envelopes from Hobby Lobby. Memory Keepers They are then stored in this fabric bin from Ikea. Bladdra I like the Bladdra bin versus the Ikea Drona bin. The collections can get heavy when the bin is full and the Bladdra has more "substance" to it. |

I use these tabbed divider pockets - basically big plastic envelopes - held in a cardboard magazine organizer (which should also show up in this link if I did it right!) But there might be something else that is more in line with what you were thinking in this search. Maybe the fab file? totally-tiffany.com/shop-by-organizer/paper-organizers/12x12-paper.htmlTotally Tiffany is a bit overpriced on some things but they're a small business, local to me in WA state, and they seem to have good customer service. |

I was going to mention Totally Tiffany too - Fab Files or Paper Handler. TT was acquired by Crafters Companion and for a while Tiffany seemed to not be present - unless I suddenly didn’t know how to find her when things changed - but she’s quite involved now still or again.

Are these totally-tiffany.com/super-sized-single-pages-10pk.htmlBasically like the BH PL storage pockets? Does anyone know how they compare weight (thickness/sturdy) wise? I was JUST pondering how to keep my PP kits and some other collections contained and this might work. |

I also use the 13x13x13 fabric cubes from either Target (Threshold) or Walmart (BH&G). They are sturdy and work great!

I have two ways that I now store my collection kits. I have cropper hopper style vertical storage for all of my loose papers and cardstock and one that I keep for collection packs that I really love and are still pretty full.
I recently bought a whole heap of supplies from marketplace and the lady was a kit scrapbooker and would have all the papers and multiple packs of the ephemera and stickers all together in a page protector. I keep all of those in the page protector and have them standing upright in a Kacks metal basket from Ikea on the end of my desk.

Some of the bins I have are older and no longer available, but I also use the 13x13 Threshold fabric cubes from Target and the multi purpose bins from the Container store. This is what I do. Most collections are theme based, so they go into the zip-lock, then into the drawer or bin or iris tub that stores that theme. And I often throw the stamps/ dies/ diecuts/ stickers from each collection right into that bag. Letter sticker sets go with my stickers, but the others go with their friends. I have two counter height work surfaces in my scraproom, and each has a set of two deep drawers beneath. One drawer has cs sorted by colour. The other three have pp sorted by theme. |

I love the Page Arrangers. Cropper Hopper made them, and now it's Storage Studios. I can only find them in the " Vertical Variety Packs" now. They are pricey, but I love them so! |

I store my collections in clear record album sleeves, labeled on the top edge and placed into the Storage Studios paper holders.

I tried these and hated them because all my stuff fell out if they were tipped. Probably user error LOL. I prefer the Creative Memories ones that are basically the same style only have a snug fit. They are also expensive. |
