Up until now I had all my pcbs just thrown randomly into a few boxes causing me a lot of grief when someone asked me to send them a pcb or when (as I just started) selling on Tindie https://www.tindie.com/stores/matseng/ (https://www.tindie.com/stores/matseng/) .
So I went down to one of my local Japanese dollar stores (actually most things are priced at RM 5 = $1.60, but that's close enough for a dollar store ^_^ ) and got a few plastic drawers 5 cm wide and 10 cm wide to fit the maximum standard sizes of most cheap pcb manufacturers.
They only supplied two dividers for each drawer and I wanted to have my pcbs sorted a bit more so I just pushed in two popsicle sticks into the pre-made divider slots in the drawers and voila! 14 slots where each slot either fits 10 pcs of 1.6mm pcbs or 20 pcs of the 0.8mm variety that I mostly use because they are easier to panelize yourself.
