Bodies, figures, head sculpts:
So far I keep all empty product boxes. To save space, they lie in a large moving box in a place where they don't get in the way. But I don't have that many either and only slowly started using Phicen about 6 years ago, and more intensively for about 3 years now. So I don't know if I can keep all the product boxes forever due to space limitations.
Clothing, shoes, equipment:
Each item of clothing is individually packed in a new ZIP bag. And small parts and shoes are in small transparent sorting boxes with many small compartments. If necessary, I label the sorting boxes, e.g. for hands and feet (which Phicen Body they belong to). I also keep some small parts for the diorama equipment in ZIP bags and these bags in transparent boxes (without compartments), belonging together according to subject areas (and labeling on the outside of the box). I usually dispose of the packaging of the small parts in the garbage immediately after sorting.
New items in original packaging:
New items stay in their original packaging until I want to use them or resort them. Everything is stored in a closed cupboard in a cool, dark adjoining (secondary) room. So I try to take care of and protect my collection in the best possible way.
