What do you use to protect/store your steelbooks?

It's a MetalPak in G2 and it's not a custom.

I'm sorry Spect3r!

I just use the generic clear bags that have the adhesive seal. Usually seal them in the basement so there's minimal humidity trapped in there with it.

But to avoid rust, you probably need something air sealed or a tiny bag of moisture absorbing sand.

I'd worry about the silica reacting with the paint. You can't really vacuum seal a bag as it has the possibility of denting in the cover when the air is sucked out.

Fair point!

I think it would be enough to wrap it in closed foil or simply wrap it in multiple foil-layers. I mean how hardcore can you go with protecting these?

Thats a neat trick, sealing them in the basement.

Would it really damage it? A small machine is not a lot of power.
I actually have no idea of the prices but i will check and if they are not expensive i will give it a try with some old G1 steelbook, see what happens.

I use sleeves bought from blu-steels.com. Great protection.

For total overkill you could also buy a camera case, get some slim foam mats and put the steelbooks in there. (of course not before you wrapped each steelbook in a steelbook bag and enclosed it in two layers of slipcases )

A bit pricey, but cheaper if you buy in bulk.

Are they full covered? Seems it doesnt cover the sides? Or if they dont, do they fit on a steelbook with a sleave on it?

They are not that expensive when buying packs of 100, i could actually go for it but not if they dont protect the side or dont fit on a steelbook with sleave.

My main worries were light scratches and corrosion (specially here in mallorca, where humidity is high) so to prevent them i just put the steelbooks in a sealing bag, then seal it with a pulse sealer and finally adding some heat with a heat gun closing it to vacuum.
Some pictures:








I spent about 50€ with the tools and 13€ for each bag of 100 sealing plastics. Hope in a few years the steelbooks remain in the same condition
