What do you use to protect/store your steelbooks?

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

Edit: why [IMG] is not working?

Now that looks awesome!

I have the same problem as you, i live in a high humidity area.

And [img] only works with .jpg, etc terminations.

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.

They come with different variations. Some fully cover the steelbook. Some leave one side open (for steelbooks with games which you play a lot). There's also versions that fit on steels with J-Cards or sleeves.

Like most, all my steels are stored in the plastic sleeves then kept in the cupboard.

I haven't had any recent steels rusting, a few of the older ones (Halo 2, Doom, etc) are bad for it as parts of the case simply had no paint covering & was just bare metal pretty much.

Funny. I actually used to own that identical heat sealer. Also used to have the industrial version that had a pedestal and foot pedal to do multiple bags hands-free/
