Most of mine are stored in the matchbox car boxes; at the time i got them they were cheap; like 2.97 or something like that. I don't even know if they still make them; fishing tackle boxes work well to and some are similar to the matchbox boxes - depending on which one you get; there are many to choose from to fit your needs. I also have some on a thread carousel my bil made for me. And some on the open thread racks. I made dust covers for them to keep the air and light from them.
