I have 2 old floppy disk holders (remember those?) that I use for my 5” PSA & hook loop disks that work great. I’d like to see what others are using for the 6” disks.

I stack the boxes they come in.

That's what I've been doing Matt. I would like to have an easy access multiple grit setup like the floppy disk holders provide me.

I use Mirka. The boxes stack fairly well.

DVD canisters hold the angle grinder disks nicely. I have a 35mm film can that is nice with a locking lid it makes a nice tool bucket, step stool and chair to sit on during a job. I think it is designed to hold three reels. Similar to a 5 gallon bucket but twice as nice.

I stack the boxes they come in, in a plastic box that I think was intended to store a pair of shoes.

I use Festool abrasives and just keep them in the boxes that they come in. There's enough room in the 50 count boxes to stuff about half that much more in there so when I buy a new box before using up all the old, I just transfer the remainder to the new box. The boxes are in a wall cabinet with the labels showing for what each box contains.

I have a board with several short dowels attached to hang the discs on (all separated by grit.)

Tupperware-type containers.

Thanks everyone.
It turns out that the 6” disks will fit into the vintage 5¼” floppy storage case nicely. I just ordered one off eBay. I like the floppy cases with dividers. You can have easy access to multiple grits in one place. I’ve been using this setup for years with the 5” sanding disks. It’s very handy.
