I’m not really sure what forum this belongs, so I stuck it here as it deals with storing Paizo products.
But my question to the community, for those who purchase the GameMastery Map Packs and Flip Maps, how do you store them?
As you can see in my list of subscriptions, I have started up a GameMastery Map subscription, and am looking of a good way to store my Map Packs and Flip Maps.
I was thinking of putting the map packs in a clear sleeve, similar to how you store a comic book, but was hoping for something smaller, more akin in size to the actual map packs. But I am not even sure if something like that is made, and if it is, where you can buy them.
As for the flip maps, I guess I could store them on their own, just stacked on one another, as they are pretty durable, but if someone else has a better suggestion, I am certainly open to it.
Thanks!
Looked over the other thread, and there was one suggestion for the flip maps in being the Treasure Box. I really like the file box for the Map Packs.
Any other suggestions for the flip maps?

That's what I do with them, including board. I then use a hole punch on the bag and store them in 3-ring binders.

Might be silly, but my flip mats (I have 6 or so) live unfolded behind a small book shelf in my library. They sit upright and flat, so I don't have to worry about trying to flatten them before gaming. When I'm traveling, I leave them at the very bottom of my car's trunk and put bags and such right on top.

I use one of my spare portfolios. Here is a link to an example
I use large construction paper with folder tabs as dividers. The cheap 2 for $0.60 stuff from Wal-Mart, Target, Michaels etc.
I used to use map or painting lockers (fancy rubber maid totes) but they are difficult to transport

I really like that portfolio idea. Because I can just leave the flip maps unfolded as well as being easy to transport and to store at home.
How many flip maps are you able to fit in one of those?
Edit: With the sizes (of the portfolios) indicated from you link, it doesn’t appear the flip maps will fit in any of them (unfolded).
May just get something smaller if I have to fold the map up, but I do like the portfolio idea as it is easy to transport, just may be better to get a smaller size. Although would really like to keep them inside something unfolded for easy transport.

I just grabbed a quick link to explain what I meant. My portfolios are MUCH larger (most of them anyways)
To answer the how many... All of them. And my old Forgotten Realms maps along with maps I have made over the years in Dundjinni and PhotoShop and had printed poster size.
The one I use for my maps is maybe 3 1/2' by almost 5'? I got it back in college in the late 80s early 90s. I went to school for architecture.

Ok, great. I will definitely keep this in mind if I end up getting a decent amount of flip maps.
Thanks!
