I have a somewhat bulky but airtight and cheap way of storing these components.

Cork Bottles.

You buy a 100 from amazon for 10 dollars or 20, and then you can add labels on them.

Cork is relatively more airtight.

You can then put them in the box and label the lid as well with the values.

A good find.! Multicompartment storage boxes usually seem expensive for what they are. If ever I see any at a good price, I always buy them, even if I don't need any at that time!

Over the years I've built up quite a collection of varying shapes and sizes - and all cheap! A couple of them are still empty!

You have many components! I do not have many components but those I have I tend to keep mostly in a random pile on my desk. I usually remember whereabouts on my desk I put them when I first get them but if they get moved (mostly when looking for other components) then I may not find them for several weeks or even months. Or I just buy some more. I have no problem with storing my SMD components - I do not have any!

These look like a great way to store the parts. I have also used the multi compartment boxes that craft stores sell for keeping beads separate that are used in making bead jewelry.
