I've often thought about getting the official Dnano parts bin organizer, but these look much more affordable.
Your labeling look's very professional!
Do you have the same set up for Z's?
Thanks, and it is all pretty cheap and easy to do. I don't have nice organization for the Z's but I should. I have so much Z stuff I am lucky if I can get it all into the same location.LOL With the dNano I realized really quick there was no way I was gonna keep track of the tiny parts so I had to do something quick.

I am posting pics of how cars fit in these boxes too. It is really cool how compact and protected it is. The Porsche 962c is longest and doesn't quite sit flat but it still fits very well. So Quarterpounder... here is your better solution for "protection boxes".

FYI, The Brother P-Touch I got for like $36 and it is totally awesome and the refills only cost like $14ea. They also have different refill colors if you want to get color crazy. I am going to include another pic to show how I use it on Z stuff. It's hard to read from pic but it says "20.0 +1" for 20mm diameter and +1 offset. The refills when making tiny labels on 2 lines last a VERY long time!

They are actually pretty easy to put on straight if you use good technique. Just peel off backing and put label on side of x-acto blade. That way you can line up easy and use your free fingers to stabilize on solid objects like the item you are labeling.
