Stamp Storage Question

23 years ago

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place to buy clear plastic containers to store my stamps in? I have a bunch of sets from Stampin up that came in those clear containers, I would like to get some more of these to hold my other stamps in sets. Thanks for any information.

Try a packaging company. The one below has a few different styles and sizes. The pvc ones can be ordered individually, and there is one the size of letter paper for 94 cents.

I store most of mine in pizza boxes and plastic drawer units like Iris carts. With a pizza box I turn it inside out so the writing is inside and write the stamp names on the lid.
Unmounts are stored in large ziplock baggies with a cardstock sheet that has the images stamped on it.

What about using those acrylic box frames? I get them when frames are on sale at Michael's or AC Moore or RS. You can cut one side out of the cardboard insert and use it as a lid (goes inside the frame). You can stamp the image on the cardboard lid so you can see from both sides what you have in there. Just a thought.

My friends patio did the same thing. basically he found out that no visqueen was put down under the patio before pouring concrete. The moisture from the ground was coming up through the concrete and getting behind the sealer causing it to become white and flaky according to the builder. There were no fix. He removed all the sealer and just put a new coat of concrete stain on it, which he had to recoat it about every two years to keep it looking good.

If you're using scraps and using the same fabric, this was an easy way for me. First cut fabric 1 1/2" by 3" and sew the long sides together of 6. Light, dark, light, dark, etc. After sewing all of them together, cut 1 1/4" on the side of a verticle seam. This gives you 2 rows, so you can pick and choose which rows you want together...you will always have a light and dark in opposite corners so all you have to do is flip it. If you do a lot of 2 row sections, you shouldn't have the same fabric in the same block. Anyway, this is something I made up...ask if you have any questions....I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack...nor do I explain things very well. SharonG/FL

I am a stamp collector and might be able to help you. Email me and I can check them out on the American Philatelic Assoc. You can do that also, but just searching. You need to be a member to buy and sell. Are the US or foreign? Countries? Check with your local place, but do watch out. It is like any collectable. Many will offer you next to nothing. Marie.

I've found some acrylic boxes at Wal-Mart for about $1.50 each. There are some larger ones too for about $2.00. They are hard, not the kind that Stampin Up stamps come in, but they do work well. They are by the jewelery supplies and jewelry storage containers in the craft dept. Also, your Stampin Up demonstrator can order the Stampin Up ones for you as supplies. I've seen them on e-bay as well. Good luck.
