Tired of digging through boxes, bins, drawers and totes? Give up the "dig and search" for the "flip and find". These storage pages are designed to work with The Scrap Rack Multicraft portable storage system (sold separately) which allows you to simply sort, store and create. These fantastic five storage pages include five pockets, four pockets are designed to hold 5" x 7" products, with one little 2" x 2" pocket in the center. These storage pages are perfect for photos, embellishments and more. Each storage pocket also has a crescent cut flap for perfect storage while traveling, going to crops, etc. Each package includes ten storage pages.
I'm new to paper crafts so I've been researching everything available, especially designs I can't even imagine aspiring to create and accessories that might make life easier. I was delighted when the ScrapRack system was introduced. Of all the organizing schemes, this system seemed to cover most of my needs. I could dismantle my project pieces into sections of a plastic storage page and when not working on that project, set it aside, either in a desk top base, a cardboard magazine-like holder, a portable take-with binder, etc. Photos were given their own organizational showcase in ScrapRack photo boxes. So I eagerly bought several of the storage pages and they arrived earlier this week. I early took the parts of one of my projects and attempted to insert them into the SmartRack page protectors. The key word here is "attempted." As noted for the single page protector, additional room was added so 12" pages would fit easily into those protectors. Well, that doesn't exactly happen with the multi-size page protectors. Not enough room was calculated for a page full of papers, stickers, etc., of various sizes, making for a tight fit all around. Take this 5 size protector, for example. In theory, I should be able to get all of my card kits into no more than two page protectors (I still haven't found use for that 2x2 section). But I can barely fit half (and a third would be a better fit) of a 6x6 pad into its designated space, which is actually not 6x6. The same happens with any of the bulky paper pads. So my dream of devoting one page per project disappeared. And I also have to slightly bend the card stack to wrestle it into the pocket. Doing that repeatedly gets very annoying. It appears the solution is to take what you need out all at once and then repack it all when finished for that session. This was not the way I had envisioned the system would work. And the "envelope fold" over a full pocket doesn't cover the contents--forgeddabowdit. The top edge of your materials are exposed when the pocket is overpacked, and given the size of standard paper pads, unless you use 3 or 4 protectors just to accommodate ONE pad (when you make cards, for example, you use much fewer 12x12s than the smaller sizes), you are wasting a lot of page protector space in the 3rd and 4th piece. And although they are certainly reasonably priced, that's not my beef. It's the inconvenience of actually using the product to insert and remove papers, especially when you don't know how far down in the pad the paper you need might be. So I'm committed monetarily to the page storage part--for now. I haven't invested in the go-withs (the desk base (2 sizes: 7 and 4 spindles), a tote (offered in various colors), and various storage boxes--I did invest in one photo storage box. Right now you'd have to fit your pix in a storage page to incorporate them with your project). I am waiting for page dividers but with no "binder" these would be useless to me at present. This is an equivocal endorsement. If the system eventually is resized to do what it should, it will be worth your money and time to reorganize your stuff. Right now, not so much.
I'm posting this in a couple other product review areas since the likelihood of this one review being seen is small. I hope I hit some areas that most people actually view.
I purchased this pack to use to store embellishments. I chose to sort by color, and the various sizes of the pockets allowed me to fit the assortment I had into the right spaces. Now instead of a thick ziploc bag to hunt through, I have a page or two per color of all the flowers, birds, butterflies, etc. and can make my choices easy to find. Someone deserves a designing prize for creating this storage page.
love these for storing some of my thousands of embellishments
Not as strong as I thought it would be.
I thought they would be as sturdy as the Totally Tiffany - Multicraft Storage System - Sideloader Single Storage Pages - 5 Pack.
I don't feel that these Fantastic Five Storage Page will last very long. We shall see!
Great for holding everything you might need for a project.
I like them a lot. However the reason I gave then a 4 they to thin/light weight. Therefore you really can’t expect items to stay in place even with the flip down.
I do like storing my 5x7 paper that I designed myself. It makes it easier to see the all at a glance.
a variety of craft and scrapbook items fit in these pockets; the 4 rating is due to the fact that you often need to use a tab or clip for pockets to stay closed.
Nice to have random size pockets on the same page. Haven't worked with this one as much yet.

Will this fit in a 12 x 12 or letter size binder?
They are a tad bigger than 12x12
