What is the best way to store discs? Stacked on top of each other or standing upright

I put each disc in Zip lock bag and stack up right in platic boxes. Keep out of direct sunlight.

Yup.

When you say stack up right, do you mean you have them on edge or laying flat?

I find standard sized work perfect. You can line them up in two rows, on edge. Most crates are stackable too..it's the means of obtaining them legally that's a problem for me..

On edge. And run to Walmart and pick up a handful of Sterilite 21 liter (I think - don't hold me to that) clear storage containers. They are the perfect size for discs, except for the largest older molds.

Stacking on edge is what sounds best. i had some photo XL's sitting on top of each other and now the dome of the disc is bent inwards.

... and turn them 90degrees now and then, two times a year or so.

I've been looking for a fairly cheap alternative to replace all the cardboard boxes I have in the garage and to be able to store the discs on edge instead of stacked. And I found these at Target: Storage Drawer (http://www.target.com/45-qt-Clearview-Storage-Drawer-Set/dp/B000AV7ONK/ref=sc_ri_2/601-3060837-6222509) I bought them individually instead of a set for $12.99 each.

These actually worked really well. You can put two rows of discs on edge side by side from front to back and have easy access to them without having to move and open boxes. Just slide out the drawer.

Now I just have to organize them so I can go to the right drawer when looking for a specific disc. :D

The best way is to use the durable, grey bins made by Buckhorn Inc. (part # 475-291) These are the bins that you see most vendors using. They hold approx. 50 drivers, or 35 mid range discs.

http://www.buckhorninc.com/products/index.asp

1-800-543-4454 is their number and if i remember correctly they'll give you a few as "samples" to see if they'll work for you. Of course we know that they work, but if the company wants to give a few away, i'll take them. :D

I do this also and it saves room the stack great and are cheap in fact i need to go buy some more I have four filled up.

I had some problems with stacking my discs in a cardboard box. After just a few months I had a dozen or so disc warped.

So with that in mind, what is the best way to flatten a warped disc?

Anyone have any recommendations about storing discs during the winter?

I am wondering what is better for the plastic; keeping the discs in a cold environment all the time or bringing them inside when not in use. Maybe the frequent change in temperature is worse for the plastic?

My guess is it doesn't really matter, just wondering if anyone has any experience either way.

I would start out with them warmer. A couple of weeks ago it got down around freezing at night, but was around 50 by the time we played. I loaned a first time player a couple of discs out of my trunk to play with and after hitting a tree on his first two shots, the disc cracked from rim to rim. I should have put the discs in the passenger area of my car while driving to the course to let them warm up first.

so the question is on edge or horizontal?

ive goot an old vhs video cabinet that i store my spare throwers on edge. i also have some old crates i store my disc on edge in. the only discs i regurly have flat are the ones that are in my practice baskets.

This thread should have stopped on the first page. The best way to store discs is the grey Buckhorn bins and stack the disc vertically. That would be perpendicular to the ground for those who need help. There is a reason why almost all of the vendors that you see at fly marts use these. They are super durable and stack and store very well.
