I got my 2x2 non PVC flips for my collection. The problem is, as my collection grows they are not the best stack able things. Is there a special box for the 2X2 flips for Roman coins? I have seen the 2x2 boxes for regular flips, but I am needed something that is 4X2 so I do not have to bend them or flip them over to store them. I want to able to thumb through my collections without having to take everyone of them out of the box to view the insert on my card.

There are boxes you can buy, but I would assume you would have to fold them.

I use a ring binder and have sleeves that should contain postcards, I put the flips (folded) into them. You can see one side of the coin on one side, and the label with some detail on the other side. It is just a matter of what suits you best.

Are you keeping two coins in one flip?

No, I have the coin on one side and the insert in the other. We are opening up a store at our local mall in March and was wondering the best way to show them off. But I might have to order those that can be clamoed in a notebook.

There are double wide boxes for two rows of 2x2's. Sounds like exactly what you need.

Michael, you won't be showing them off if they are in a box. Is it your intention to sell them? You might find trays a better option. If you want to keep an eye on them, an album might be the thing.

philips, make sure your album or the sheets you put in them is also pvc free. I made that mistake with my first album purchase.

Wallets and albums for mylar flips are fine.
Just make sure they are NOT made from soft clear PVC material. Mylar or polypropylene album pages are the way to go.

Another alternative: Use the boxes flips were sold in, or use old recycled photographic colour slide boxes.
