Review on ArtBin Magnetic Die Storage Case by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The magnet is a bit weak. good size Lost storage space due to handle cut-out.

I have filled two boxes with these magnetic sheets and have just bought a third and 4 more refills and found that the magnetic attraction is weak. I had a few tiny single numbers that I wanted to keep and I realized I don't trust these papers to keep them. I've also noticed that some of my larger dies aren't holding tight enough. And sometimes the sheets pucker. If the sheet metal isn't perfectly flat, the flat dies won't hold up. Also, you lost storage space due to the large piece that cuts out on one side to fit in the box's handle. Also, it's a little awkward to scroll through the box. To get to the last or bottom sheet, you need to remove all previous ones. When reading other people's comments about this product, people say they wish it were easier to browse through. One person placed their leaves in an Iris greeting card storage box. One person punched a hole in each and hung them on a pretty wall with a couple of S-shaped hooks. But both buyers should probably have bought magnetic sheets without a large hole for a hollowed-out pen. I'm not sure if there are better solutions, but this solution leaves a lot to be desired. PS I keep my stamps on the white side. I glued a piece of cardboard to the inside of the envelope to write the name of the stamp and maker. But this makes it difficult to reorganize my stamps when I buy new ones and want to reclassify them. And how do you want to determine what the stamps look like? Word and letter stamps in particular look unidentifiable. You would simply have to cut out the stamps or use the original product packaging to create a sample sheet, laminate it, cut it to an odd notch size and glue it over the stamps. That's a lot of work! The sheet size is nice. In summary, some sort of ring binder in a closed zipped or hard plastic case, or even those strong, clear plastic bags for storing stamps kept in a box with a top opening to flip through can be better than ArtBin box and leaves.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
