I am a non-scrapper, so bear with me!

I have just gotten a huge box (size of copier paper box) of personalized stickers. There are HUNDREDS of them. I'm going to use them from my PTA Reading Counts store. What is the best way to store them that won't take up a lot of space, costs very little (I'll have to pay for whatever I use) and will be easy for me to lay my hands on a certain name in little time.

The stickers are about 6-8 inches long and about 2 inches wide.

I'm thinking binder with pockets but I'd love some input from the professionals!

Thanks!

I put mine in a 3 ring binder with page protectors and seperate them by subject. I would think that you could do that but do it alphebetically. I have seen people use hanging files too. HTH

would baseball card holders work? They are plastic that you put in a binder and have like 12 slots on a page (each slot would hold a baseball card) You could have a slot for each name and have them alphabetically sorted

Binders are the best! You may need more than one for all of those though! Sounds like a great idea for the PTO!

Well, i used to use a binder. But, i found problems with it. It got way to thick, stickers fell out the top and I hated having to flip through all the pages to look for the right section only to have to stil dig through each pocket. Plus, storing them was another issue, since they hand to be upright due to stickers that were too tall and there issue with "binder way too full popping open syndrome". Now I use a hanging file system with file folders. Now I only have to flip through the hanging files to find the folder I want, pull it out and open it flat. It is much easier to look through them without having to dig down inside a pocket. I do this for my scraps too.
