ArtBin 6978AB Magnetic Die Storage Case with 3 Magnetic Die Sheets, Portable Paper Craft & Die Organizer with Handle, Translucent

Excellent

Just what you need for dies.

I have several of these in which I store my dies. They work perfectly and will continue to buy these as my die collection expands.

These are very handy for staying organized. I have several of these now. I couple this with additional magnetic sheets and storage envelopes. Each box holds quite a bit.A little expensive though but good quality.

Love these to store my obnoxious amount of cutting dies. They do exactly what they’re supposed to. I wish they were a tiny bit stronger/thicker & laid flatter, but really, they do the job! After a while , because of the weight, I believe they’ll flatten out. I have 2 cases full, so obviously, I’ve bought the refills several times.

I have two of these cases , and they have been a fantastic purchase. Easy to organize and you can purchase additional magnetic sheets.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this case with 3 sheets plus two additional packs of 9 magnetic sheets (for a total of 21 sheets exactly) to store my ever-growing collection of mini-magnets from Magnet Poetry kits.Previously, I used 8 repurposed metal tins for storage, which worked, but took up a lot of space, was a bit clunky, and had very limited room for expansion. It was also not portable in any matter, had I decided I wanted to take the magnets on the go.The magnetic sheets were a little smaller than I expected, but not so much that I felt cheated. As other reviews state, only the front of the sheets is magnetic, which was a little disappointing to me at first, but after loading up the sheets with my magnets, I think it's for the better, as having mini-magnets on both sides could make them trickier to handle.The sheets and case combined are already a little tricky to move around if you're like me and have every useable inch filled and the case at capacity--which Artbin states is about 21 sheets and I found to be true, with a little wiggle room since 5 of my sheets are not filled yet.Since the sheets are magnetic, they want to stick together, and the size of each sheet is cut very close to the size of the case. Thus, picking the sheets up to "flip" through them like a book is not as easy as flipping the pages of a book. To remedy this, I made some simple dividers out of gray paper--1/2 inch long on the bottom, to fold over each sheet so they wouldn't just slide off the dividers, and 1/4 inch tall on the "tabs" on either side of the handle to write a tiny label if I so choose. I also tapped a long skinny piece to the back of each to tabs I can pull on to pull each divider up towards me. This system is still not perfect, but it helps a lot.Another option that might take less work would be to simply tape a piece of ribbon to the back of each magnetic sheet. The main reason I went with dividers instead is to limit what might scrap against the word magnets and potentially scratch or wipe off the letters.The only real complaint I have about this storage system, and I'm not sure this is something that could be fixed, is that the magnetic sheets clearly have some magnetic "poles" that make it so I cannot push all my magnets flush together, and sometimes they don't want to sit nicely in certain spots. The poles simply repel each other. This isn't a huge problem, as when changing storage methods I had already decided I wanted to be able to leave the magnets slightly spaced apart anyway so they might be easier to grab, but if someone does want them all flush together, this would obviously be a huge annoyance.Additionally, the magnetism is strong enough to hold my magnets comfortably inside the case, but if I had to hang them on a wall, I would not feel comfortable doing so, as I'd fear one good bump would send the magnets flying.The plastic case itself is quite nice. The plastic feels nice and thick, the locking mechanisms on either side of the handle feel very secure. The case, all full of magnets, feels very sturdy while laying down, and actually seems like it would take a bit of work to knock over while it's standing up, too. The only bad thing I could say about the case is that the Artbin sticker on the front leaves a LOT of adhesive residue behind if you take it off, which took quite a bit of elbow grease and rubbing alcohol to remove!Overall, I am quite pleased with this storage system and I'm excited to have a much more compact way to store my magnets in the long-term. Especially since at the moment I have a little bit of room for expansion!

I do love this Art Bin storage box system for storing wafer thin dies. The magnetic sheets are very thick so the box can get heavy to carry once it fills up but it does hold ALOT of magnetic sheets and dies in one case. One thing I have discovered is that over time, the magnetic pages start to curl up on the top and bottom if you store the case upright. A few of my dies warped because of this situation, they were not bent out of shape to the point where I could not use them, but were definitely warped. After the pages start curling, you can only really place nestable/stacker dies in the center section of the page, otherwise they will warp. I took out all the curled pages and tried to straighten them out by lying them flat on a hard surface and weighting them down. After 2 days they did straighten out for the most part. If you plan on using this method to store your wafer thin dies, I recommend that you keep the cases stored flat, rather than upright like a suitcase, and then flip them over so the other side is facing down every once in awhile, so hopefully the pages won't curl on you. I did try to make one of those chipboard mini albums with magnetic strips across the pages to store some wafer thin dies in, but I discovered that you can only get 5-6 pages into a single binder (3 nesty sets to a page at the most), so if you own a lot of dies, you would need to make a lot of albums to fit all your dies into. In the end, this case holds ALOT more dies, using ALOT less space. The only other thing to mention is that there is a smell to the magnetic sheets that never goes away. You can't smell the smell once they are locked inside the case though. And those sliding locks on the top of the case are really sturdy, as well as the box hinges. Its a really good quality, durable, well made product.
