If you have a large collection of sports or gaming cards, you likely have card boxes on your 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? 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, BCW has card boxes to solve your storage needs.
Before you purchase card boxes, consider how they will fit on your shelves. We provided examples below to demonstrate how your boxes will look on IKEA or wire rack shelves. The wire shelves we used are 36 inches wide by 16 inches deep.
BCW also offers small card boxes, which are not pictured below. You can find all of our card boxes here.
The Six-drawer Card Catalog is designed to fit in IEKA or similar shelving but can also lock together with other units to create a modular system. Using the catalog with an IKEA 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.

To protect standard sized cards, BCW’s 12-Pocket Z-Folios are a popular storage method for card gamers. The pages in the folio display four cards in a row, which is ideal for Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and other card games using playsets of four. Gamers also appreciate these folios have a zipper closure, ensuring their cards cannot fallout of the album.
12-Pocket Z-Folios – Color Choices
For 2019, BCW is making a refinement to the 12-Pocket Z-Folios. As with the original versions, these folios have faux leather covers, available in many colors. These folios have stitching around the edges of the cover, and the original versions had stitching that matched the color of the faux leather. For the 2019 versions, we changed the color of the stitching, so the thread contrasts with the faux leather. It may be a subtle color refinement, but we think card collectors will like the change.

The Center Spread of a 12-Pocket Z-Folio
The pages in the 2019 version of 12-Pocket Z-Folio are identical to the previous version. These folios contain twenty double-sided pages, so a full folio holds 480 cards, assuming you only place one card in each pocket. The pockets are large enough to hold sleeved cards.
New Packaging for 2019
The only other refinement to the 2019 versions are changes to the package design. Game shops will notice changes to most of BCW’s gaming line as our 2019 products hit the shelves this spring. Game shops can apply for a BCW wholesale account here.
