I'm looking for a way to store my Copic ink refills. Right now they are in a drawer standing up. I'd like to find out how others store these unusually-shaped bottles.

I am in the process of doing my craft room and have started putting my copic refills in the stamp pad storage unit that DH built for me. I don't have them all in yet since I have to figure out how much room I need for each color family but here's what I have done so far. Hope the picture isn't too fuzzy.

When I started buying Copic's Marianne Walker said to store the ink refills in a dark cool place . She said they have a very long shelf life if stored properly. She said she had some refills for 10 years and they are still fine
I have a BLACK plastic file box to store ALL of my ink refills not just my Copic refills .
I noticed the ink refill bottles for Ranger, Memento and SU are all dark glass so they all must need to be stored in the dark

StampHappy1650 I have one of those boxes! I'm going to see if this will work for the area I'll store them in. Thanks

I think that is probably true with a lot of the products we use like any ink refills, alcohol ink, etc.
My refills sit on a shelf away from direct sunlight. They've been in my boxes for years and no degradation or drying up. As for being cool, well it whatever the house temp is ... not going to store them in the refridg. ;)

My interpretation of "cool place " is a place that would not get excessively warm, such as near a heat vent or in a cabinet over the clothes dryer . Many people ( myself included) find creative storage spaces
My refills are in my closet

I like a sewing tote with a handle; can usually be gotten at craft store with 40% off coupon. Dark inside, handle to pick up easy and use copic plastic containers inside.

I have mine in a Really Useful Box also, the CD size, but one that will hold 2 rows of CD's. I must have exactly the right number of refills because they fit in there perfectly and there's no room for more... think someone's trying to tell me something???

I have mine in 5 Trader Joe's Chocolate Drink tins. On one side of each of the tins I have the colours marked that are inside that particular tin. I have several empty tins waiting for more refills.
