b) Hold the blister insert with your left hand, the thumb of your right
Place your hand between the lid and the bottom on the top right and reach down.
c) Hold the bottom with the shelves with your right hand and with the

Mixing of subject content is prevented.
d) When closing again, press the lid on evenly.
Warning notice:
Failure to comply or forcible opening may result in the

Storage of the blister inserts:
Thanks to their excellent stability, the blisters can be stacked. A big
The number of different parts can be arranged in a space-saving and clear manner.
The bilsters are pre-punched and can be put in standard ring binders
2- or 4-fold mechanics can be stored.
Folder with 10 compartments = 3 pieces per folder

Thanks PRR, that was totally unexpected. (Google; you are fired!)

The section of how to open (without playing 1000 resistor pick up)
is good of Weltron to include.

Google instantaneously hired again to look up PET UV stability.
UV Properties of Plastics: Transmission and Resistance from Cole-Parmer
so "fair" (when unmodified)

The 10up version is my optimum match. Compartment Boxes | Compartment Boxes

MOQ 33 @ ~145Eur + shipping & utterly unpredictable import taxes.

+ 4 folders needed & left with 21 spare blisterpacks!

> totally unexpected. (Google; you are fired!)

That IS Google. My German stops near "abogandas". Wait, that's Spanish. "Krankenhaus"?

There's some gibberish which I don't know if it is Acrobat text-order or Google translate tangle. But they are just plastic bins, how much detail do you need?

> The section of how to open (without playing 1000 resistor pick up)

I hope that makes more sense in the hand than it did on initial reading.

> Google instantaneously hired again to look up PET UV stability.

How much UV do you expect in closed folders in a workroom? Or do you work on the beach and need all 1,000 bins exposed?
 
UV degradation of plastics

> How much UV do you expect in closed folders in a workroom?

Allocated area for electronics is referred to as a 'pretend conservatory'.
(Someone else's fag packet sketch that I swapped out the single wall corrugated PVC roof for twin-wall pollycarb.) Sides are mostly (assuming)recycled double glazing units. See-thru lean-to might translate better. It is N/E facing.

Attached footage of 4G ext lead after ~3 to 4 year storage in a must get round to fixing pile. Somewhat negated the need to resolve taped up plugtop! (yes; this UV degradation occurred in the UK)


So thinking "ring binder slip case" or similar to protect upper or edge surfaces, as per: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71e-rNMDi+L._AC_SL1500_.jpg

Hello,

i use theese boxes from e-bay.. the colors look like s... , but they interlock and form "trays" of compartments. 4 different sizes from 21mm x 18mm x 18mm inside and up.

Google "Electronic Components Boxes Patch Laboratory Storage Box SMT SMD".

Resistor storage solution

I use binder pages for storing collectable playing cards (pokemon, magic, etc)
Works great. Make sure you don't upend the binder causing the components to spill out. I have a giant rubber band around my binder.

I got a very similar one to this one just yesterday! 60 equal sized drawers with dividers that perfectly fit the length of a resistor.

So that's 120 drawers take home from the shop for $50aud but seen them for $41 online.
 
Coin envelopes. You can buy the 3" x 5" ones (I think that's the size) on Amazon pretty cheap, then just get a cardboard box or a bin to "file" them. Write the value directly on the envelope.

I use this method because it's flexible, expandable, cheap and very space-efficient.
 
Wow, old thread..
I repurposed an old bass cabinet and installed drawers.
I then 3-D printed multi-sectioned bins.
Metric hardware first pic, various ele stuff 2nd, resistors 3rd, it's 3 layers of those. bin4 is spare 3-D printer hardware. bin 5 is a screenshot of the bin design. I can size the overall, select how many compartments in x and y, put the label holder or not, and there is also a rounded front at bottom of each compartment to aid in getting small parts out of the bin.

I have a couple of these from Maplin in around 2017.
I put labels in front of drawer for component value.

Post#73 and post #68 right above it…..same image.

I have a whole wall of them. Well, the entire top half of the wall. Home Depot and the others stopped carrying them about 2 years ago, in favor of $50 lockable job site organizers which have less than half the capacity and are harder to dig resistors and screws out of. The last couple of them I managed to get from Tractor Supply.

A little warning : all was made by Raaco but this company sell products under her name and lower cost products with noname for supermarket chains. Quality is the same but number of drawers varies : for exemple 60 in standard and 50 for low-cost series. No problem for our use except if you want to assemble them in tower.
 
I made custom drawers with round bottoms, no chasing small parts into corners. Note only every other bin is labelled. Also use notebooks with conductive foam. Not shown notebooks with multiple pouches per page.
