Sandpaper woes

I have quite a lot of sandpaper, including some expensive stuff, and it
is getting a little tatty. I thought I should buy something to keep it
in, so I bought some not-so-cheap Really Useful boxes which hold A4 size
paper.

Great boxes, except it turns out that sandpaper is not A4 210 x 297, it
is wider and a little shorter, 232mm x 280 mm. And it won't fit.

:)

Anybody got any suggestions for a sandpaper storage system?


Thanks

I use ziplock plastic bags to avoid mutual contamination from one grade
to another, but I only have a few sheets of each.

How about a small Bisley filing cabinet?

I also keep at least the expensive ones in ziploc bags - not foresight
on my part, they came that way.

A bit overkill - and would they fit? The Bisleys I have come across are A4.
