What Card Boxes Will Fit Best on Your Shelves?
If you have a large collection of sports or gaming cards, you likely have card boxes on shelves. The IKEA-style shelves (pictured below), or wire rack shelves (pictured further below) are effective solutions for card box storage. So what card boxes are best for your card collection on your shelves? There are a few things to consider before you buy card boxes or shelves. Will your cards be stored loose, in toploaders, in magnetics, or other card holders? Will you have any graded cards? How many cards are in your collection? Whatever the answer to these questions, BCW has card boxes to solve your storage needs.
Before you get your card boxes, you might have questions about how the boxes will fit on your shelves. To demonstrate how your boxes will look on IKEA or wire rack shelves, we provided examples below. The wire shelves we used are 36″ wide by 16″ deep.
BCW offers small card boxes too, which are not pictured below. You can find all of our card boxes here.
The 6 Drawer Card Catalog is designed to fit in IEKA shelving, but also locks together with other units to create a modular system. Using the Catalog with a Kallax lets you find cards easily, as you don’t have to physically maneuver boxes. This makes it a perfect setup for someone with a large collection they access regularly.

It would be nice if you made a box specifically for cards in toploaders that are also in team bags to prevent the toploader from scratching as well as the cards sliding out of the top loader. The shoeboxes work ok, but you can’t get it full due to the width of the team bags and the sides fold over. So, if there were a single as well as a double row box that is wide enough to allow for the team bags to be used and not have to fold the sides over it would be great!
Please try our Vault Boxes. This is a single row box with a full lid. The row is slightly wider than the rows of 2-row Shoe Boxes or 3-row Super Shoes. The row of a Vault Box is wide enough to comfortably hold magnetics or toploaders enclosed in team team bags. https://www.bcwsupplies.com/vault-card-storage-box
I love the quality of your boxes, but it would be even more It would be AMAZING if you created a 9 box version of your “Card House WITH 12 – 800 CT Boxes” to fit in the Kallax Shelf (13″x13″).
I have a Kallax Shelf and had to “design my own” card storage by buying an Ikea Kallax Wine shelf insert, so I could use 9 of your 800 Count Storage Boxes for my card collection.
The pull-out feature of each box in it’s own space is perfect, but no one created it for a set of 9 to fit the most common shelf used for board games storage.
Thanks. I shared your comment with our New Product Manager.
yes this would be amazing. i have spent hours looking for something like above posfer said and there is nothing. please make a drawer system that fits a kallax cube!!!
100% this. Similar solutions exist of laser cut wood of etsy, but they are bonkers expensive.
Couldn’t it still fit 12 boxes if they were vertical rather than horizontal, like the Monster boxes are?
the kallax is 15″*15″, you’d still have the same issue placing it vertically
Which Ikea shelf is that?
That’s the IKEA Kallax shelves.
Any idea what size boxes would fit well on IKEA BILLY BOOKCASE with no over hang?
Does anyone make a clear box that would hold an entire set of cards in top loaders and/or slabs. Thinking older sets that you could handle but keep safe.
Thanks
Does anyone know what wire rack shelves they’re using here?
I got that at Menards. There are different widths and different depths. Most of our large card boxes work great on the wire rack shelves that are 16 inches deep. The pictures shelves are 36 inches wide by 16 inches deep.
Looks like there are similar ones at home depot. https://www.homedepot.com/b/16-20/N-5yc1vZ1z1ucnr/Ntk-elasticplus/Ntt-adjustable%2Bsteel%2Bshelves?NCNI-5&sortby=bestmatch&sortorder=none
Do you have any storage box that’s 9″ deep?
The closest we have is the 33 rpm record storage box, which has interior dimensions of 13 1/8″ x 12 1/2″ x13 1/8″. The next closest is the magazine storage box, which is about 1/8″ too short for your needs.
