Question Various Company Stamp Storage

I was wondering if anyone had a great system for storing various companies' stamps. I know Stamping Bella has their binder and Gina K has her binder/boxes (which would work for others I know), but I was trying to figure something out for my sets that are all different sizes. These are the types of stamps/sets I am looking to store:
Paper Pretties (Sophia & Cooper - acrylic & rubber)
Bellas (rubber)
There She Goes sets (acrylic)
H&M sets (acrylic, probably 5x7)


I've thought about a binder with various types of pocket sleeves. I have also considered a lunchbox tin for the PP and Bellas.

Any great systems out there?

Thanks for sharing!

I loved the idea CTMH had with their stamps in envelopes so I searched for ideas on the internet. I found Tim Holtz's pockets for his system on sale this month at Ritz Camera for $2.25 for 5. I received them this week and so far, all my clear stamps fit well - I have paper studio and Autumn Leaves mostly but lots of others. It is the lest expensive idea I have found and I am storing them in plastic crates from Walmart (cd size I think) They don't stack but I can flip through and see what I am looking for and so far I seems to be easier to get to. I loved the little monkey system but too pricey for me. If I have stamps that need a board to mount on, I am going to laminate cardstock to fit the pocket.

Hope that gives you an idea that will work for you...

CTMH sells the frosted envelopes they use for their unmounted stamps. I just received my order for 7 sets of envelopes-$5.25/set (3 envelopes per set). They also sell them in larger sizes too. Most of my stamps are wood mounted and are organized in drawers by categories. I store my unmounted stamps in these envelopes and then place the envelope in the appropriate drawer. That way I don't have to look for my stamps in several different places.

I stick all of mine in CD cases and then store them in CD boxes. You can also get CD racks that you could either hang on the wall or place on your desk. This works well for me! I've got the boxes labelled to show which brand of stamp is where. I have a decent memory, so I know which stamps I own and which I don't. But, otherwise, I could make a book to look through ...
