What Is The Best Way To Store PCBS.

[GutsDozer]

I received my first Bare Bones PCB today (Ninja Gaiden) I was wondering what ways you guys have found to safely store these bad boys?

 

[loopyeddie]

Just put it on a shelf with your other stuff

I usually keep them in the box that i received them in since the size is usually right but i put them in large anti static bag inside the box.

I've seen a lot of people use USPS boxes. Hey, they're free!

 

[Takumaji]

Unused pizza boxes. They come in various sizes, are anti-static, can be easily stored and are cheap.

Static bag then put it in the USPS box.

 

[GutsDozer]

Thanks for the tips gents. The pizza box thing is crazy. Never even thought of that.

Now we know what Shadow does with all those HnR boxes.

Store them as you would Potatoes.
Cool Dry and Dark

I like the USPS box idea.

I like the USPS box idea.

Yeah me too.

And these are durable, anti-static, and ship direct to your house in all different shapes and sizes.

i like to keep all the usps boxes one size. That way they stack up nicely.

In dedicated cabinets.

I've always used the USPS boxes, just go into a post office and walk out with an arm full

agreed, I'm not terribly proud of it, but it gets the job done, and I don't have too many of em. CPS2 boards are a little too long to close the box though.

@guts get yerself some pink (anti-static) bubble wrap too.

^ this. I don't know how big these go though...Ninja Gaiden is rather full figured.

Here's my way.

Made some custom plexi pcb cases with spacers that keep all the components safe from any contact.

 

[munchiaz]

this seems like a kind of cheap way

In the dumpster!

nailed to a corkboard in my shed.

Bubble wrap in stackable plastic bins
