Note that those white cardboard boxes are *well* outsized for the kind of cards he's talking about here - his cards are about 1.5"x2.5", a good half-inch smaller than those stock cards in both directions.

<p>What sorts of containers have been found to be appropriate for storing large amounts of small cards?  For example, in Descent: Second Edition, There are 155 cards which must be stored, and which measure 41mm by 63mm.  Once they are sleeved (in <a href="http://store.fantasyflightgames.com/productdetails.cfm?sku=FFS01" rel="nofollow">these</a>), they no longer fit in their little baggie;  is there some company that makes/sells boxes that fit these small cards?  Are there any commonly available containers that work well to fit these card sizes?</p>

Are those sizes before or after sleeving the cards? What size are they sleeved? What type of sleeves are you using?

Also, even if they don't fit in *their* baggie, do they fit in a generic sandwich-sized baggie?

They may fit in some larger baggie, but some sort of box-type structure seems more ideal to not allowing them to bend/fold out of shape as much as possible...

I believe the measure is for the cards themselves.  I've updated the question with a link to the sleeves being used.

What sorts of containers have been found to be appropriate for storing large amounts of small cards? For example, in Descent: Second Edition, There are 155 cards which must be stored, and which measure 41mm by 63mm. Once they are sleeved (in [these](http://store.fantasyflightgames.com/productdetails.cfm?sku=FFS01)), they no longer fit in their little baggie; is there some company that makes/sells boxes that fit these small cards? Are there any commonly available containers that work well to fit these card sizes?
