Hanging Storage For Vinyl

Believe it or not, but this over the door shoe hanger can make a great storage space for your vinyl! And not only that, you might have left over room for all sorts of items that need a home. I like how these organizers create storage space where before there was none.

Over the Door Hanging Shoe Organizer, 24 pockets:

This is another organizer that can be used over the door, but, if you wanted to, you could also remove the door hangers and attach it to your wall. This hanger is a bit more attractive than the previous one!

4 Pocket Hanging Wall Organizer:

Here is another style of hanger that can be used to store heat transfer vinyl and other t-shirt making accessories. With this one you slip the items to store into the side.

Over Door Organizer For Handbags, Caps, Accessories:

Wall Mounted Storage For Vinyl

This storage rack is made to be mounted to the wall. It can be a good way to store heat transfer vinyl sheets flat – so long as they are smaller than 10 x 12 inches.

5 Slot Wall Mounted Magazine Rack:

Another wall mounted rack with double the pockets. The pocket sizes are slightly smaller on this one at 8.5 x 11 inches.

Wall Mount Literature Rack Organizer, 10 Pockets:

This next option is a bit more expensive, but more custom-made for storing vinyl or other rolls. This is for the serious organizer!

Safco Laminate Mobile Roll Files:

Storage Bins

This is also a more specialized roll holder, but much cheaper than the previous option. It could also be good for the baseball bat collector!

Wire Bin Roll File 20 Slots:

This is a bit simpler – a nice solid rubbish bin! This could be used for much larger rolls of vinyl if you had one of the larger more commercial cutting machines.

Rubbermaid Commercial Wastebasket, Rectangular, 10 1/4 gal:

Storage Cabinets

This storage cart is good for keeping scraps of vinyl. Every time you cut quotes out for a t-shirt there is always quite a bit of excess left behind. You might be able to use small bits of vinyl to add small decals or branding to other shirts in the future.

10-Drawer Storage Cart:

This mobile cabinet could be great for organizing sheets of heat transfer vinyl by category, such as glitter HTV, flocked, holographic etc, as well as for organizing left over scraps of vinyl.

7-Drawer Mobile Cabinet:

A beautiful and stylish set of drawers for the craft room. You can’t go wrong with this one! It will hold many different craft supplies!

Mobile Classroom Storage Tower with 18 Large Bins:

Vinyl Storage Videos
