I used the image that @emiaj created from the Every Apple Watch band thread, editing each color one by one for a set of Avery labels that are found in most stores: https://www.avery.com/products/labels/6791. I posted earlier on where you can get the case on Amazon. PM me if you want more specifics...
Got a tip for us?

I’ve tried many solutions for band storage and nothing works like @peterJH3’s idea! It’s brilliant!
Here is the storage unit: ArtBin Store-In-Drawer Cabinet, 30 Art and Craft Supply Storage Drawers, 6830PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EL9AJQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Syn-Ab9PVQ9C7
There are the labels I bought: Avery Removable Durable Rectangular Labels, White, 1.25 x 1.75 Inches, Pack of 256 (22828) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009KLXQJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Dzn-AbBFEBWXA

Thank you! I appreciate that very much! I love what I’ve come up with and I’m glad it has worked out well for someone else, too. (I also need a 3rd box next month when Apple could release a summer collection of Sport and Nike Sport bands — I have 2 that don’t fit in the TWO boxes I already have lol.)
The only challenge was pasting the images on the labels on my Mac. Works fine on my work Windows PC. MS Office generally works better on PC’s for little things like this.
Good job, though. Fortunately, I used the Avery label template within Word. I’m OCD as all get out, so the labels actually took me several days of sizing, cropping, printing, and test fitting...😛
Yes I did too. I created my file from the Avery template on my Windows PC and then when I tried to edit it on my Mac, it won’t let me paste images.
Ahh, okay. A Mac is the only Apple computer I don’t have; I’ll have to keep Windows around for this continuing task at least lol. 😉
Today, I’ve added in the 3 new Summer colors (Peach, Marine Green, and Sky Blue), got a 3rd drawer bin set, and reorganized them all based on how they appear in person...

Hello everyone. This thread was greatly helpful in helping me choose my storage options for my Apple Watch bands. I decided to post my pictures of what I went with. On Amazon, you can find watch band storage trays by Boonix. Their black option holds eight, and the gray holds 10. I went with the black so that the bands would be a little bit further apart and not as pushed together. Currently I have two black Boonix trays, as well as a Tech Swiss hard case for traveling. If you have any questions or want further feedback, let me know!

I take it that you like black bands 🙂 Looks really great in the black storage trays. Nicely done!!

Here’s my current set up. Upstairs in my dressing room. I have a nice cigar box with inserts downstairs with a few frequent flyers. I know I have a problem, but at least it’s organized

The two boxes are totally different but very similar sizes. I got them both at goodwill! One was a salt box that held some kind of yard sport game like horseshoes or? The other was a collection display case that had some little rectangle indentation insert, who knows? Lol I painted them both to match my room.

That's not what I asked. The containers are sitting in a cubby of some type. What is that? A night stand?
Hahaha...oops. An entry table for a hallway like to put your keys and mail on as walk in.

[doublepost=1531184619][/doublepost]Thanks so much for this tip. I've been spending way too much time trying to find some sort of watch band organizer that doesn't look like cheap crap from China, or like a woman's jewelry box. This is perfect. Gracias.
