I use beer koozies. Keep them on a shelf in my room until they go in the vest.

I'm starting to use beer koozies also.  I have used socks from the dollar store in the past.
Then I keep them in a storage tub during the off season.

I don't know how well this shows up.
It's a work in progress and needs stained yet.
Had someone make me a bunch to display in a glass shelved Curio Cabinet.
Light on the top and de-humidifier rod on the bottom
Glass shelves to hold box call and other stuff.
The Pot Calls will be in these display stands.

Tupperware little wonders for most.  Brad Roberts calls wont fit in them, so I will look into the koozies for those.

I have a double glass door  , 6 foot tall oak cabnet with 6 shelves and a double door bottom with 2 shelves. This is where my favorite , most hunted and most valuable calls are stored on display. My other calls are put in my shop in plastic totes.

I placed a piece of paneling in a tool box drawer and made plexiglass dividers for my pot calls and strikers.

Lay mine all on my wife's beautiful bed spread in spare room and play them year around it's good for wood and playing surfaces to breath not be sealed up in air tight plastic containers it can effect the grain of the wood by not breathing even though it is a dead tree.

That's a good point. Hardwood flooring Is the same way. It expands and contracts when the weather changes. We have had issues when installers don't leave room for expansion around the edges. I would assume calls will change also.

I keep most of mine in utility bags like these. The pot calls are in koozies & old socks. The box calls are in old socks also. The bags are stored in my closet on top shelves.
