Storing CDs

 
 
Reply Sun 19 Aug, 2007 06:10 pm
I'm building up quite a pile of CDs that I've copied - documents, records, you know the sort of thing - and although I have little protective envelopes, I wonder if there's such a thing as a really properly fitting box made for the purpose to store them in. I have a feeling that I lost one, at least, through having it slip betwen sheets of paper being thrown away. and I want something that will be neat and well-fitting (sounds like a new suit, no?)

You can make paper cases like this one:

It is not as super as the title says, but its ok if you want it cheap. Anyway its better if you simply buy some real cases.

(the video was NOT made by me!)

I keep my important CDs in plastic jewel cases. There are some which came in paper sleeves. I keep a lot of them in a plastic CD box. You can get all kinds of boxes in Wal-Mart, Target, or the like.

Storing CDs
Thanks, especially Phoenix. I have the little paper envelopes, but jewel cases are much more protective.

Whether jewel cases or paper envelopes, I don't want to plop them willy-nilly into any old carton where the ones I want would inevitably sink to the bottom. I bet Staples would carry an appropriate box.

If they are in jewel cases, they can be stored horizontally. If they are in paper sleeves, IMO they are best stored on their sides.

I have some CDs in jewel cases that are stored horizontally in an open container, that has slots that hold the CD. The problem with that is that they do get dusty. A closed container takes care of that.


This is something like the open one that I have.

This looks interesting:
