How does everyone store there boxes?
I need something that is enclosed and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. My boxes have to be in the dusty basement so the wire racks won't work.
I've been looking at cabinets but I was wondering what else might work.
Thanks in advance!

I buy mine in cases of 50 and they come flat (of course). I put them between my sofa and the wall. I'm sure I'll get flamed for that one.
I have this same issue. I want to build some slots type shelves that are verticle, but no place to do so right now. When my shop get's built finally I will have that built in to the storage area. But right now they are stored on my bakers racks and a PITA to deal with since they don't really fit on them.
If you can buy them in bulk, they come in a large plastic wrapping. Just cut the side or end of the wrapping and leave the boxes in there for dust protection.
If you buy boxes in the onesy-twosy quantities, laying them flat on any shelving is best and just cover them with a piece of plastic or a clean sheet.
I buy them in bulk but the plastic wrap makes them very difficult to remove. I tried the cutting one side to slide them out...They kept getting stuck and ripping.

Me too...and when I rip a box....well, let's just say it ain't purdy!
I cut the plastic on the long side, and make a small slit up the sides just a bit (cut it like a "U"). When I cut the package open on the short end and try to pull the boxes out that way, I end up saying things that embarrass my Marine son!
I store mine like Debi said, nonetheless it is a drag...especially coz they take up so much room and never lay flat on storage shelfs(too broad) I have had lots of boxes ruined with curled corners and sometimes water seeping in if I left it out accidently...and boy is a pack heavy I can barely lift one of those!

Amen! My last order, it took 2 UPS guys to carry it in. They laid it on my counter and I picked it up and put it on my shelf (myself).
When you need something done, ask a woman!
Thanks guys. I'll keep looking for a shelving unit. I haven't gone to Loews or Home Depot yet.

I use one of those Ziploc Big Bags, size XXL. They're 2 ft x 2 3/4 ft, so they hold a lot. Plus, they seal shut to keep the dust out. Then, I just slide it under the bed.
I store all of my cake-making stuff this way -- 14" pans that I don't use very often, etc.

I never thought of that! That will be a good solution until I get a cabinet of some kind. Thanks everyone for all your ideas.

AI currently have them in a closet in two of these http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CMju-IPzur4CFQKhOgodiUAAJg&Item=9B-12C-0063-00024&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBiz&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBiz-_-pla-_-Office+Furniture-_-9B-12C-0063-00024&ef_id=UTES8gAABLE2iwxo:20140520161534:s
Works well to keep them clean but I haven't found a way to differentiate the siaze without taking them all out... anysuggestions?
