Default How do you store your reinkers and cartridges

Right now I have one of the tool boxes that youuse for nuts and screws,they have they little clear drawers that pull out.I use this for my reinkers and small wheel cartridges.

Is there a better way to store them.

I personally have them stored in plastic shoeboxes, which I keep on a pressboard "shoe shelf" (from Wal-Mart) under my stamp table. I have cut strips of cardboard to keep color families separate, but I really like that I have all 48 main colors in one box. Much easier to have everything in 1 place when doing techniques like polished stone or shaving cream backgrounds.

I store my reinkers in the top of the SU ink pad caddy. I store my cartridges in a clear pencil box that many stores sell for back to school. It works great!

Until my son made me my new inkpad storage (love that kid!), I stored my re-inkers in the SU! clamshell channelled boxes (the ones that alphabets come in). They hold a family of reinkers perfectly. I also use them to keep my cartridges. It's not a perfect fit, but they close, and it keeps them mostly sealed off and there is less drying out.

I store my reinkers on the color caddy. I store the cartridges in a toddler's shoe box. We get my DD shoes at Striderite and so I had an empty box. I covered the box with patterned paper and decided that it was a good size for the cartridges. I'm not too into the wheels, so I don't have a lot of cartridges.

I think I have the cheapest storage for my reinkers. I use the clear plastic container that my cookies came in. The best part is I can lay the reinkers down. The lid sits on the partition area (so the reinkers are on an angle) and the labels face up. It sits in a drawer. I can see all the labels and colours. Now I just have to get my kids to eat some more cookies so I have more storage.

This is how I store my reinkers and my cartridges. Keeps them all together, not rolling around, not drying out, and they're stackable, easily transported.

I store my re-inkers in Lock-N-Lock containers. They will hold 24 re-inkers, not chance of leaks or spill. They stack very neat on top of one another and I have them labeled with what color families are in each.

These Lock-N_Lock containers come in a varity of sizes and store very nice on shelves, counters, desks or anywhere. You can see what is in the containers as they are see-thru.

I store my SU reinkers in the box they came in. The other one roll around my Iris cart drawers!

My reinkers are in the boxes they came in - I keep them in a small plastic crate I got from WalMart. All 4 boxes fit, and then my Crafter's Tool Kit fits right next to it. I keep my cartridges in the channeled SU stamp boxes that alphabets come in. I have one for regular-sized and one for jumbo-sized. I do have a few reinkers besides what came in the color family boxes - like Metallic, Versamark, old colors, etc, and those are in the top of my SU ink caddy.

I use the clear alpha stamp storage cases from SU for my re-inkers and the regular stamp cases for the cartridges.

I have all mine in the plastic shoebox containers and I actually wrote the names around the lid so that I can see them by looking at the top. Love that they all stand up and they are all in one place
