Optical Disc Jewel Case Storage Box

Basics

• This page aims to explore the various Boxes in which one could efficiently and securely store Optical Disc Jewel Cases
• Main OTS Options, however a more custom DIY/OS Solution would probably work better, and could be made of known high quality materials if those characteristics are desirable (ie in storing media in a Semi-Automated Optical Cold Data Storage system, not (Hypothetically) Storing Commercially (And Stably, ie if it breaks you go to walmart and buy a new one for 15 USD) Available Movie Copies

OTS Options

Semi-Rigid

• Seem to be made of a Nonwoven Fabric of some sort of Plastic
• Some supposedly have Cardboard Inserts for Rigidity
• Don't seem to be very high quality, granted if done right it should just sit there so doesn't need to be made out of a superalloy or something
• Either way potential concern of seams ripping, especially when it is full
• However cheap (~20 USD or so it seems per each bin) and widely available

Rigid Bin

• Essentially a plastic bin like one would use for leftovers or garage storage, but optimized for Optical Disc Jewel Cases
• Didn't find too many of these yet
• Reccord-Happy Store - Collapsible Storage Box Organizer Basket - Folding Small Bin for Office Desk Kitchen Bedroom - CD DVD Compact Disc Case Holder Plastic Stackable Mini Crate (green)
• AITEE DVD/CD Storage Box 2 Packs, Acrylic Storage Container for Blu-Rays, Small Books/Booklets, Video Game Cases and Video Game Controllers, Storage Organizer for Countertop/Kitchen/Bathroom/Cabinet.
  • Clear so not the best for archival, also probably easily made with a Laser Cutter or CNC Router (Although not a bad idea in that case, just DIY instead of buy_

Rigid "Filing Cabinet" Style

• A bit more expensive, and hard to tell build quality/materials from an Amazon listing etc

Amazon

• Innovera CD/DVD Storage Drawer, Holds 150 Discs, Sold as 2 Each ( ~22 USD )
  • Stackable Plastic Design
• Vaultz CD Case Holder-File-Cabinet CD-Rack w/ 1 Drawer and Key Locks, 8 x 14.5 x 15.5 Inch DVD Organizer and CD-Storage-Box - Black ( 43 USD )
  • Similar appearance to a ATA Case (AKA Flight Case / Road Case ) although uncertain build quality, supposedly pretty good as per the reviews
    • One mentioned offgassing which is a bit of a concern, although it subsided after a few days apparently so nothing too bad (ie "New Car Smell" vs some plastics that constantly offgas and have that intangible but "bad" smell)
