With so many companies offering 3x8 papers now, how do you store yours? Do you have a special place or are they are just mixed in with your other papers?
Right now, my 3x8 papers are stored together, all in a plastic envelope. This isn't going to work for much longer for me, though, as my envelope is full and really it isn't as user friendly as I would like.
So what do you do?

My papers are all stored together, no matter the size. 12 x 12 , 8.5 x 11, 6 x 6, scraps, etc...
Solid color (pink, purple, blues, etc...).
Multi-colored paper is stored by pattern or type (stripes, polka dot, grunge, floral, miscellaneous, etc...).
I use 13 x 13 plastic storage envelopes, each color(or two >> red & burgundy) and type/pattern gets it's own envelope.
The storage envelopes reside in rolling file carts.

I don't have that size, but I do have those tic tac toe slots in one of my kallax cubes and I keep 4 x 12 drawers in each slot. I'd probably put that paper in a drawer or two.

For me, your link shows "403 Forbidden." Now I HAVE to know what you are using.  |

How about an empty cereal box cut down to 7 or 7½"

How about an empty cereal box cut down to 7 or 7½" Actually, I was just asking DH if he had something at work I could cut down...no cereal boxes here, but this might be the best solution. I was also thinking about looking at Dollar Tree and seeing if they had any wooden crate/boxes that would work. |

😂 we take our pamphlet holders VERY seriously here in Australia! Must keep them from prying eyes! This is exactly the type of thing I have (per your link), I did get them for free from work as they were throwing them out so the “cut down box” approach sounds good to me (I’m always about using what you already have!) |

I have that stadium organizer from Ikea. 12X12 in the back slot.
The middle level has a wide slot where I put 6X8 and 8X8 and big scraps. The right side of it fits the 3X8s.

I like to have mine on my desk as I use them all the time so I use a pamphlet holder like this: Genius. There's one at work that no one is using and I'm going to grab it for DD. |

I prefer the "Forbidden" idea. But that is a very good way to store the paper. |

That size will most likely go into the bin. 🤣

What do you guys do with 3x8 paper? I got the free 3x8 slimline glitter rainbow cardstock from SB dot com and used it to make rainbows. They are mainly used for slimline cards. |

I only have 1 and just kept it with my normal cardstock packs. I have 2 packs of white that sit on top of my 12x12 paper Iris containers.
If I had more I would probably put them in a Sterilite container.

What do you guys do with 3x8 paper? 3*8 paper also fits the 3x8 mini albums that Ali sells. The papers in this size are now included in her story kits and you can usually get them as an add on in all of her collections. |

Ok, after some trial and error, I found a good way for me to store my 3x8 papers that I get from Ali and SC. Over the summer I had switched out some of my kitchen storage containers and found I had one that if I took the lid off, it would be the right size. Its from Targets Brightroom Storage line. I made some easy dividers from a plastic white folder and got them labeled and its going to work great. I am able to set the container on a shelf so the papers dont get bent and they stay out of the way til I need them. www.target.com/p/4-34-w-x-4-34-d-x-8-34-h-plastic-food-storage-container-clear-brightroom-8482/-/A-52380382#lnk=sametab  |

That looks nice, and a perfect fit!
I use the sturdy bottom portion of the boxes Starbucks state mugs come in.

mom, I don't have 3"x8" papers unless the scraps happen to be that size. Like ScrapbookMyLife I store all my papers together by color (or collection). And thank you mikklynn for asking what that size is used for.  I didn't know it was a popular size.
