Just wondered what people's storage solutions were? Some of mine are displayed, others I store in these.

Not the most glamorous solution, but it enables me to store 30 specimens per box, making it easier to sort into countries/types etc. and also gives me the possibility to fit the same trays into a larger box holding 60.

Eventually I'll move to either a Victorian style show drawer system or classic styled technical drawing cabinet.

Hi,

I use about the same stuff for storage, but add some wrapping paper to protect the specimens just in case...
