How do you store your booklets, warranty cards, tags, links?

I was wondering if anyone had any innovative ways of storing booklets, warranty cards, tags, extra links, bezel protectors etc for their watches. Besides the regular way in their boxes or ziploc baggies, does anyone have any other interesting ways of storing these? I was looking for album pages with seals at the top so they don't slip out but haven't found any. I would like to be able to flip through them from time to time. Thanks for your ideas.

Everything stays in the boxes. Boxes go in large rubber sealed tubs that gets stored to keep clean and safe.

I have all my outdated warranty papers, tags,bezel protectors stored in a cryogenic deep freeze bank as I want my outdated papers, books,etc to look like new in a hundred years time.And for my watches I have had a specially made Rolex certified bed made from the finest materials known to man.Its lined with the finest silk and specially padded with the finest softest Pashmina as not to scratch the extremely delicate 904L S.steel.And it has a built in winder to gently rock my Rolex to sleep and keep its heart ticking at a constant 28800 BPH.Plus the added feature of thermostatically heat humidity and air conditioned controlled to the COSC standard.Its fully programmed to lull my Rolex to sleep when off my wrist, with soothing ticking music and whale sounds to help it drift into a place of peace and Rolex tranquillity. But in the real world most of the plastic things like bezel protectors are gone in the bin long time ago, as for the rest think they are up in the attic where they belong. Because the watch on my wrist is the most important and not any of the plastic or packaging..

In their boxes. Separating them is the best recipe for eventually breaking up the full sets!

I store my Rolex paperwork in a purple Crown Royal bag, along with my birth certificate, last will and testament, and the title to my house. Where else?

Like any other storage item. Papers, etc. in the watch box. Watch box in a storage box (along with my other watch boxes) in my closet or storage room.

We don't need to go overboard with the storage system for these items, but it's always good to keep yourself organized.
