Another stamp storage question

I store my stamps by company so I will combine two small sets of the same company into one pocket. 

I use the Michaels Recollections white cardstock as my pocket backer. If my stamp set has coordinating dies, they go behind the cardstock.

I tried the Joanns Park Lane cheap white cardstock and it was just too grey for my liking.

I used to do it similar to CardBoxer and the others but I felt like I wasn't seeing all the stamps properly. I know, weird! So I bought the smaller size (5x5, think) pockets and put each stamp in its own pocket and file all those "mini's" together in one bin.

One other thing I've changed up. Instead of put a piece of cardstock in the pocket, I just trim down the companies packaging stock that comes with the stamp and use that as my backer. I like that because 1) I'm not using extra cardstock, and 2) I can quickly flip through and look for a certain manufacturer by their logo.

ETA: also I've looked high and low for stamps or dies I know I have but can't find and they've been in the back of another pocket because I combined them! I'm on a mission to correct that by giving each stamp it's own pocket.

Like some others I put dies in the stamp pockets behind the cardstock if the dies only make sense if used with the stamps.

If the dies can stand alone they’re in die bins in pocket with a note/code on the pocket naming the stamp category and set they go with. And the stamp pocket has a note that there are dies.

I also sometimes include stamp packaging, but cut down and placed behind the cardstock. Not always.

Only stamps I combing are really small stamps ( less than 3x4 ) from the same company.

I use a white cardstock backer, one stamp set per envelope. If I have a coordinating die it goes in the back (behind the cardstock). If the die set has little pieces I add a trimmed down magnetic vent cover to hold the dies to reduce the likelihood that I lose something. The front top left corner gets a label with an abbreviation for the company name + the stamp title {Example: LF Scootin By (Lawn Fawn Scootin By)}. If I find it helpful I'll trim down the manufacturer's packaging to keep in the pocket.

Some people use the original packaging—100% fine. I like pocket uniformity mainly because it’s easier to speedily flip through them. Other than full coverage 6x6 stamps and a few giants, all stamps are in the same size pockets. And some packaging is a bit too wide for my bins. But I keep some of it sometimes behind the cardstock. 

Once in a while a stamp set is a bit too wide so surgery is done, cutting through the stamps/index sheet to fit the pocket, but avoiding the stamps.

I sort by category, other than one company, so if wanting leaves I head to Leaves, sometimes pulling out a few/a lot, easy when they’re all together. Others find it easier to sort by manufacturer. Designers usually have to..

If I use original packaging I slice it down the right side so I can get the stamps in and out without wrestling with the stupid sticky flap. I also chop the hang tag part off the top. I don’t like the crinkly sound but with the slice down the side/quick access it’s not so noticeable. 

I’m another who often just cuts down the packaging to fit into a storage envelope. I wish there was more uniformity in packaging sizes, just so that it’s easier to store and flip through them. I put them in storage envelopes if the plastic gets torn or the size is annoying.

Yes, I forgot about the original packaging ripping too easily with my clumsy hands.

And like your example, I have three tiny magic wand stamps from Kae Pea (Rubber Moon) that are in one pocket, each stamped at the top of the cardstock. Then it doesn’t matter if they’re toward the bottom of the pocket when quickly flipping through.
