6979AB Magnetic Die Sheet Set 3 Pack

I can't say enough good things about this die storage bin! My bin currently holds MORE than 21 magnetic sheets with thin dies. Mostly it contains the ARTBIN magnetic sheets, but I also have used a few thinner magnetic sheets. My dies are basically all for A2 cards and have no problem with them sticking, although I do keep the bin flat on my large work table. While a bit heavy if I were to carry it around, that is not my intent as I want them close at hand to use, so the bin remains on my work table (however, if I wanted to carry it to another room or work area, even with the arthritis in my hands and wrists, it is NOT overwhelmingly heavy that I cannot carry it). The magnet sheets that were in the bin when I received it were a bit curled, but I just put those on the bottom of the bin and others I bought additionally on top and found the weight flattened out the curls. I have my dies sorted on the magnetic sheets in the bin by subject; i.e. all skinny border dies together, all animals together, etc. My collection is quite large, so I am finding this the most efficient way to store and see what I have at a glance. I have my holiday dies stored on regular magnetic sheets at this time and put in photo storage boxes on the closet shelf; the regular magnetic sheets I bought from Home Depot... they come three to a pack and are normally used for putting over registers (heating/air conditioning)... I cut them in half and they fit in the ARTBIN or in the photo boxes. I do want to get a couple more of the ARTBINs to have on my work table, I have many more dies I want to get out of their packaging!

Love case so much better than most. Heavy duty quality

I use these to stand up in a container on my die cutting table to keep my dies attached to while cutting out a project. They are very sturdy and will hold the dies in a vertical position in the container. They are easy to pick up out of the container by the great tabs that are on them. The when I am finished (usually cut at least 10 sets of cardstock for cards) I put the dies back in their permanent storage pockets.

I have 4 Artbin containers full of these magnets. They hold the heavier dies like I get from the Anna Griffin company. The magnets could be stronger but they are much better than the thin ones most people sell for the wafer dies like most makers of dies sell. Getting them nine at a time saves money and they last...well when one gives out I guess I will find that out. I have had them for about ten years or so and none have given out so far. To say the least I recommend these magnets because I keep buying them. I just bought another pack. They are a bit heavy to go into the boxes that are made these days for die cuts and rubber stamps so I try to make sure I use these in the Artbin containers which have a good lock and stack well too.

Love these

I purchased this case with 3 sheets plus two additional packs of 9 magnetic sheets (for a total of 21 sheets exactly) to store my ever-growing collection of mini-magnets from Magnet Poetry kits. Previously, I used 8 repurposed metal tins for storage, which worked, but took up a lot of space, was a bit clunky, and had very limited room for expansion. It was also not portable in any matter, had I decided I wanted to take the magnets on the go. The magnetic sheets were a little smaller than I expected, but not so much that I felt cheated. As other reviews state, only the front of the sheets is magnetic, which was a little disappointing to me at first, but after loading up the sheets with my magnets, I think it's for the better, as having mini-magnets on both sides could make them trickier to handle. The sheets and case combined are already a little tricky to move around if you're like me and have every useable inch filled and the case at capacity--which Artbin states is about 21 sheets and I found to be true, with a little wiggle room since 5 of my sheets are not filled yet. Since the sheets are magnetic, they want to stick together, and the size of each sheet is cut very close to the size of the case. Thus, picking the sheets up to "flip" through them like a book is not as easy as flipping the pages of a book. To remedy this, I made some simple dividers out of gray paper--1/2 inch long on the bottom, to fold over each sheet so they wouldn't just slide off the dividers, and 1/4 inch tall on the "tabs" on either side of the handle to write a tiny label if I so choose. I also tapped a long skinny piece to the back of each to tabs I can pull on to pull each divider up towards me. This system is still not perfect, but it helps a lot. Another option that might take less work would be to simply tape a piece of ribbon to the back of each magnetic sheet. The main reason I went with dividers instead is to limit what might scrap against the word magnets and potentially scratch or wipe off the letters. The only real complaint I have about this storage system, and I'm not sure this is something that could be fixed, is that the magnetic sheets clearly have some magnetic "poles" that make it so I cannot push all my magnets flush together, and sometimes they don't want to sit nicely in certain spots. The poles simply repel each other. This isn't a huge problem, as when changing storage methods I had already decided I wanted to be able to leave the magnets slightly spaced apart anyway so they might be easier to grab, but if someone does want them all flush together, this would obviously be a huge annoyance. Additionally, the magnetism is strong enough to hold my magnets comfortably inside the case, but if I had to hang them on a wall, I would not feel comfortable doing so, as I'd fear one good bump would send the magnets flying. The plastic case itself is quite nice. The plastic feels nice and thick, the locking mechanisms on either side of the handle feel very secure. The case, all full of magnets, feels very sturdy while laying down, and actually seems like it would take a bit of work to knock over while it's standing up, too. The only bad thing I could say about the case is that the Artbin sticker on the front leaves a LOT of adhesive residue behind if you take it off, which took quite a bit of elbow grease and rubbing alcohol to remove! Overall, I am quite pleased with this storage system and I'm excited to have a much more compact way to store my magnets in the long-term. Especially since at the moment I have a little bit of room for expansion!

Amazing, can't believe it took me so long to find these! Read my review on the coordinated magnetic die sheets that fit these storage containers. You will feel that same about keeping your dies organized and so much easier to find! The storage container will hold a lot of magnetic sheets, so depending on your dies you can store about 6-15 average sized cutting dies per sheet. You get three sheets with the storage box, you can purchase additional sheets separately. Note to anyone who plans to try this, do not purchase the alternative brand sheets made to fit this style container. They are wimpy, I tried them and regret it. If you get alternative magnetic sheets for DIY, be sure they are at least 1.2 mils or thicker, so your dies stick when handling them. Thinner means they are kind of floppy and the magnetic hold is not the same. I love these handy and useful storage systems, extra time to do the art instead of fumbling with tools.

I buy these frequently for my card making dies. I like to cut them in half so I can put them in plastic storage pockets (I also round the cut corners so they don’t poke through the storage pockets). They work great and I love the tab on top for labeling.

Excelente maleta para guardar die cuts. Minhas faquinhas ficam organizadas e com fácil acesso. Gostaria de ter mais folhas adesivas (vem com 3) e sinto dificuldade de encontrar para comprar. Quebro o galho com manta imantada, mas ter as originais seria muito melhor.

I’ve got many of these cases, so keep dies sorted and likes together. Magnetic sheets are sturdy and great.

an den platten gibt es nichts zu bemängeln, sie tun gut, was sie tun sollen... blöd ist jedoch, dass der dazugehörige koffer erst ein späteres lieferdatum hatte umd letztendlich die nachricht kam, dass er nicht mehr nach österreich geliefert wird... ein glück, dass mein neffe in deutschland studiert und ich den koffer an seineadresse schicken lassen konnte, denn ohne koffer machen die plattwn wenig sinn.

These topped up my Artbin box well. Because they are thick, they are fairly rigid , which protects the dies. I have used more flexible magnetic sheets in folders, but these are much easier to access and each sheet provides plenty of space for storage. The magnetism is strong enough to secure the dies while still enabling easy release. Although they are quite a lot more expensive than the flexible sheets, , I do think they are worth investing in, especially for frequently used dies.

I have purchased many of these packs and the containers they are made for over the years. They are an excellent way of storing dies for cardmaking and scrapbooking. They prevent dies from becoming damaged and keep them clean.
