way better than fabric photo boxesI was looking for a long term storage solution for my photos. This is the best that I could find! I transferred all my photos from fabric/cardboard boxes to this container. I labeled each little photo container with a date or event category. Now when family comes over, memory lane is much more organized! I was hesitant to buy because of the price, but it is worth it. The only unavoidable drawback is that I will have to find another solution for my photos that are larger than 4x6. I will be purchasing another for "growth" very soon. Also important to note...the shape of this carrier is a real space saver!

Not just for pictures!My 9-year old daughter loved the colors of the small boxes. We are storing all the “little” collectibles out there now - I.e. Shopkins. It’s nice that you can pick out one container and not make a big mess everywhere. Fun and helpful product not just for photos!

Photos Finally OrganizedPrior to this purchase, i had 4 photo boxes full of unorganized pictures. I never knew where to find what with the exception of my most recent photos. I used my label maker and categorized by Childhood, School Years, Family, etc.
The containers come clasp-up but you can turn them upside down so the label is visible and it still closes just fine. I also quickly realized that I'd need two of these instead of one so I kept the colors consistent with labels and ended up doing 3 colors per box so that each category was together.

Finally! Organized 90 years of loose photos...Purchased 2 of these quality carriers to organize over 90 years of family photos that never made it into albums. I couldn’t be more pleased as I now have everything in one place organized by decade and I can find any photo.

Amazing!This is the the best thing to happen to photo organization! So quick and easy, better than photo boxes. I can just grab the smaller box that has the photos I need and not have to dig or transfer them to a envelope when I want to show family and friends pictures from vacations, etc.

Great price for safe storageThis is a great price for safe storage. Fits a TON of photos and I was able to label each individual case to make it easier to find specific photos if I need them. This is the second one I've bought and I'd happily buy more to store photos!

Great for storageThe darker blue color was disappointing as it is much darker than it appears in the picture, it's nearly a solid color, therefore you can't see what is inside.
I use these containers for everything, I carry one in my purse to hold the small items that use to end up in the bottom. Two of them are in my car console to hold small items, useful in drawers, etc anywhere you'd like to contain small things. I bought the set because it was cheaper than buying each case individually.

Great storage!My daughter teaches high school math. She had laminated task cards for her students. I had cut them out after she laminated them and needed a way to group and store them. She had some clear boxes but they weren’t large enough for the cards. I found these boxes with the storage container. They are for 5 x 7 photos but worked great for my/ daughter’s needs. I love all of the storage solutions at The Container Store! Always great quality and price!

Replacing Photo albumsI am thrilled to remove more than 75 photo albums from shelves and closets in our home. The photo storage carrier assisted me, as I sorted through years of photos. The translucent cases allowed me to detail years/events on the individual cases, making chronologically order possible. The 5 cases consolidated my almost 8,000 photos into a manageable and easy to locate system. The cases will keep dust from collecting on the photos. Once filled, they were easy to store, giving my shelves and closets free space!

Amazing Photo ProjectMy son died recently, and I was searching for a system to more easily organize and safely store all my old photos of him. His name is Noah, so when I found this rainbow option I knew I had to have it. Losing a child is the hardest thing I've ever done, and my grief is still very heavy. But, this photo project was a blessing. I enjoyed looking at all of my sons old pictures, and I'm sorry that I'm almost finished. I'm going to have them scanned, and the owner of the photo store said I can just bring the whole carrier in and they will scan them into folders by date for me. I'm planning to purchase more of these. I'd like to store all of my photos the same way.

12th Purchase!!!I don't know why but I certainly like this storage carrier! Kept on buying for myself and as retirement gifts for my friends. They all raved about it and so nice that we all can organize our pictures. I put labels on each inner case for easy reference. One carrier, I put all trinkets like paper clips, safety pins, buttons, tacks, picture hangers, etc. in each inner case and label them. YOU WILL FIND THEM HANDY so why wait? Go and buy one today!!!

Awesome!I wish I would have ordered 2 of these! I absolutely love it!
I have so many pictures. It is easier to store them this way then in a photo album. Each kid has their separate box and I sorted them by activities also. I used my label maker to mark each box. I have one for my family pictures and the list goes on! It is a great item. I will order another for sure!

Great ProductThese are the second time I've purchased this brand of case. 1 12 count, and just now, 2 16 count cases. My mother had albums with the corner tabs that we're getting tattered, and I needed something that would preserve the pictures and still be easy to get out and look through. These are great!

absolutely perfectI have hundreds of old printed photos that I removed from albums so I could scan and keep them in digital format. These storage boxes proved to be the perfect solution for what to do with those old photos. And now I'm inclined to store all new printed photos the same way. I like the look of photo albums but there is much to be said for the practicality of these boxes. The only dilemma now is deciding if photos should be categorized by chronology or subject.

Good productI had been looking for a better way to organize my photos b/f scrapbooking them. I had been looking at this for several weeks/months and decided to go from my hanging file folder system to this and I love it! I can label the outside of each case if needed but I have made a master list of picture (events) and numbered them and label the outside of the individual cases with the numbers from the sets inside and keep that master list in the lid -- great storage!

Excellant storage option for photos and moreI have several of these cases and use them for many items. It started with photos. I quickly realized this can store other smallish items that I have had difficulty with in the past. For my scrapbook supplies, I have one for my "bling" stuff; one for my flowers; one for my small stamps that get lost in other containers. For sewing projects, my various needles and threads, especially the embroidery floss.I also keep extras of the inside cases around for use on special projects until they are done. Each project can store all the little items needed to complete them. Can not stress enough about the usefulness of this case.
Are the 12- individual cases included with the storage carrier? Or must they be purchased separately?

Yes.

Will my photos that are enclosed in the smaller cases that fit 100 eventually stick together?
The photos I have are currently sticking together the way that I have them stored in shoeboxes.
Asked by: AlisonMarie
Never experienced that problem. However, old snapshots from the 50's tend to stick together from the processing coating on them and the color pictures tend to fade.

How tall are the individual cases?
I have some game pieces I'd like to store easily, and this looks like just the thing, but lying down they are about 1 inch tall. I want to make sure they would fit before purchasing. (Pieces are 1"x1"x2") Thanks!
Asked by: Tanith
The official response from The Container Store is not correct. I received this product intending to store flashcards that are 4.5"x6" but they did not fit. The actual outer dimensions of the individual cases are 6 5/8"x 4 5/8"x 1 1/8" but because of the shape of the case you'll only be able to fit something with maximum dimensions of 6 1/8" x 4 1/4" x 1".

Asked by: Dilly
Actually, I have both the 12-case and the 6-case. and two 6-cases stack neatly on top of the 12-case (I actually have 2 'levels' of 2 6-cases stacked on top of 2 12-cases that are stacked on top of each other..).
BTW, these are awesome and I'm coming back for more. :-)

Will these prevent photos from curling?
Having just gone through the process of straightening old family photos that curled because they had not been stored properly, I would like to know if these cases are designed to prevent photos from curling. Thank you.

The protection of our individual photo storage cases combined with the added protection of the storage carrier will deter re-curling of your photographs.

Would I be able to fit a few 8x10 and 5x7 photos in this box if I layed them on top of the individual cases?
I'm looking for a single storage solution for all of my photos and I can't seem to find something that holds multiple sizes in one place. Thanks!
Asked by: Nina73
They would fit, but it would only be a handful. When the lid is closed, there's not much room between the top of the lid and the individual cases.
