Hi Everyone, just wanted to see what the methods yall use for storing decals. I have acquired a huge amount of decals and would like to know the best way of storing them for future use.

I put mine in ziploc bags and then store them all in a rigid Tupperware container out of direct light. I also try not to pile them on top of each other too deeply so they don't stick to the bag.

I place mine in a large water-proof hanging file box. I store each decal sheet in it's original storage bag/envelope whenever possible. I separate and organize them by decade for quick reference. Each decade has it's own file folder. I place the file box in a climate controlled closet. I also include folders for tire decals, contingency decals, and any other specialty decals. In addition, I keep all unused partial leftover decals because one never knows when you may need some obscure contingency or something.

I know. I'm a "neat freak" and an overly organized person.

that is one of those sheets that if you got it...you never want to cut it up and use it.

i know Pattos does this scheme...so it's no problem doing the car.

but to have that WW20 sheet...maybe one day.

Does anyone put the little moisture packs from medicine bottles in with the decals? Could it damage the decals if they were in contact with the decals??? Thanks
