Protective cases for large LEGO set boxes?

jag2045

Hi all, I have a question I hope some of my fellow AFOL's could answer

Over the last few years I have gotten some of the larger Lego sets (Death Star & Batman '66 Batcave) and want to keep the boxes in good condition while they are in storage. Is there anywhere I can buy plastic protectors for the larger boxes (not the sets themselves which I already have acrylic display cases for, the boxes themselves)

Would appreciate any advice or assistance with this!

CGA/AFA offers custom-made, high-quality cases.  The link below takes you to their "custom-made" page:

And if you have any SDCC-exclusive stuff, those can be found in their "in-stock" cases here:

All my boxed sets are stored in strong stackable boxes, they are called Really Useful Boxes (I’m sure they are available all around the world).
Two sizes that I use are the 145 litre, and the 70 litre. (70 litre for single boxed items, and the 145 litre for multiple boxed, or the very largest sets).
They are not cheap but they are the best at storing your boxed sets. Below are a couple of links, you can find them cheaper on Amazon etc, but just to show you an example:

I also bubble wrap the LEGO boxes before putting them in.

Do you store them flat in the boxes or upright?

What has your experience been with the security seals: do they stay put for the most part or shift around/become loose, peel off?

70litre have boxes stored flat, and the 145litre have the boxes upright on the side. So far no problem with seals. And there are plenty that are UCS early sets, so have some age.
I very rarely move the boxes, they are in storage. And as mentioned before all are bubble wrapped to protect against any box rub.
