Question ? about CD cases for unmounted stamps

I am unmounting my stamp sets and am finding that certain sets are too large to fit in a regular CD case. Short of taping 2 cases together, has anyone else found a different solution? Are there wider CD cases that work? Thanks for any help!

I just make labels for my sets that say the stamp set name and 1 of 2 and stick them on the edge of the CD case. Even my sets that are so big they take up 3 CD cases take up less room than the plastic clamshell boxes, so I don't let it bother me if they use more than one CD case.

You can find DVD cases without inserts. I ordered them here http://www.stampbystep.com/. I found her very nice to deal with and quick too. Sometimes, they are out of stock. If that's the case, email her and she'll let get back to you.

I use clear DVD cases when my sets don't all fit in one CD case.

Thanks...I just ordered some. This will work great! I would love to hear what others are doing, too.

I order from www.rima.com. It costs $32.00 for 200 delivered. I always split them with my sisters and friends.

I do the same as Ann. If there's an obvious way to label other than "1 of 2" then I do that (for example, I have "Silhouette Blooms I - flowers" and "Silhouette Blooms I - sentiments") but otherwise I just go with the set name and 1 of 2 after it on the spine label. I have a table set up in Word with rows that are just the right height so when I need new labels I just type them in there, print off and trim out. You can probably by sticky labels sized for CD spines but I just glue plain paper!

I used to write 1 or 2 (or 3) but it was TOO much! I finally switched to some amazing binders. I LOVE my system now. You can see it here.

I gave up on CD cases. Cause of this problem. Plus I ran out of room using them.


I now use White Storage Boards. And I can fit a lot of Stamp set's on 1 page. I keep them in a 3 Ring Notebook.

Here are couple of photo's so you can see just what I'm talking about.
