Copic Marker Storage Ideas

- Copics can be stored either horizontally or vertically. Tips up or tips down. I've done it that way for more than a decade with no problem! Copic changed their website state they recommend horizontal storage-I say whatevs. A dozen years vertical with no problem tells me it’s fine.

I thought you were supposed to store markers horizontally so the ink is evenly distributed...
Only Distress markers.
I thought the same. This makes a huge difference for me! Thanks.
Sandy Allnock this may sound like a stupid question, but what's a distress marker, and how do you tell what kind of marker it is?
I thought so too, thanks a lot for sharing.
I read that also that double ended nip markers should be stored horizontally. So iam a little confused on how to store them. Mmm
I have been waiting and looking for ages and I finally found a shop that sells copci markers near me im going today to buy some and I cant wipe this smile of my face!!! ☺
Hooray!
Your Hex Chart is AMAZING!!!! It really helps me to not purchase markers that are almost identical to each other.
Loved seeing all the storage ideas in this video. Thank you!
this is really helpful, thanks Sandy!
btw i love your vids
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich oooo o watch your videos
I don't need it

What a really nice video. Storage is always an issue for crafters, and you offered multiple solutions for a common problem. Thanks so much.
I went to the dollar store and found these little bins with drawers (2 rows). I found you can pop them off, so I bought a few, and took out the drawers, and stacked them 9 layers high. Each little space where the drawers used to be is now a little solid piece for me to stik my markers in. My dad kinda laughed at what I was doing, but was impressed with my layout once I showed him
great video - I just got some copics not too long ago and love them - so naturally I can see my collection growing and will need to build something for storage - thanks for all the ideas
Nice video. It's great to see how everyone stores their markers. Some people are very creative. Some of the products I didn't even know existed. This is a great help.
Thanks for starting my day with rainbows Sandy!! 🌈 I get crafting money only at my birthday each year so my collection, after years and years still fits in a limited edition Nestle Toll House tin. It works. 😊
Thank you for doing this Sandy.Wonderful new options. Great Tutorial. BLESSED Day.
I can tell you from at least my own experience that I used the lighting grid idea for storage and while they looked amazing in it, the grid was just a tiny bit too small and YES the lids would come off and fall inside at times. I ended up buying a dremel and a round file and filing out just a tiny bit on each of the squares to make the marker fit a bit better. It was SO much work and I don't even use it anymore. I use trays, but if I ever change storage systems, or have to take my markers mobile I'm definitely getting one of these. Thanks for sharing. I have your copic hex chart too!
this collection is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you for this video. It was very interesting. My husband did make me a storage bin out of the lighting grids. And if you are not careful the cap can get stuck. I am going to get the one from the etsy dealer. Thank you! Can't wait for your class. TFS. Connie
2:30 the light shining across the beautiful copics 😍😍😍
I have always been told to keep any alcohol marker horizontal to keep them lasting longer! That is how I store mine! I store any two-way tip markers horizontally so keep the ink even in them!
Nope. People telling you that are making it up. The only ones that require horizontal storage are the Distress markers. Look at the storage the companies sell - if they sell a case or rack that holds them vertically, store them vertically. If their case holds them horizontally, store them that way, no matter what you put them in.
My Spectrum Noir markers did come laying flat
Hello from Dallas. Always enjoy your channel, Sandy.
Loved this video! My Copics are in two Artbins with the marker insert that comes for them, except they have four slots I don't use because they're too tight. It works so far but my second tote is halfway full and I would like to have them all in one case so I might look into adapting some of this solutions. This was one colorful video! Thanks again.
I can't wait until my pens come 😍😍😍😍 I ordered them yesterday and they were posted almost straight away❤️❤️💚💚💙💙💜💜💛💛
Thank you!! I bought that light ceiling grid and my caps got stuck too! I ended up buying a decorative box in the shape of a suitcase at Micheals and used the plastic canvas mesh as the grid. Thanks for this video!
this is the answer to my prayers! I have ordered the insert for the copic bag. I have the one where the markers go in slanted and the caps come off. thanks so much!
Micheal's has wooden milk (40% off coupon) crates that can be used to hold Copic markers. I have 1 modified by adding 2 inch stripe of wood to the back of the crate making it deeper (Copic and markers will stick out about an inch). Then gluing the base back on to it. Then stained the wood to match my desk. The organizer (Milk crate sits on my desk organized/handy when I need a marker).
I love you videos! Very helpful. TFS. Be blessed and stay beautiful!! 🤗
Love the creativity!! Have to say the wine rack is my fav.
that wine rack idea is absolutely adorable!
Just started buying comics, I’m up to 36. Also just went to my first class, loved it. I did subscribe to your channel. So many great ideas.
wooooow you have everything, including the refill, my kind of dreeeeeam :) nice video greetings from the Philippines
Wala kasi sa national bookstore?
I only have 19 markers so I only need the 36 marker case right now. I keep it upright in my closest when not in use. Other wise I keep it on my table. These are great ideas for more as my collection grows. :)
Hello from Dallas. I used acrylic canning jars, laid them on their sides and used E6000 and hot glue to connect them all. Inexpensive and fun to look at.
I love your work, Sandy! I’ve begun my Copic collecting journey. I just received the Sketch 72 set B today. I still need quite a few markers to get to 358. I can’t wait to get them all; and because I have SEVERE full set syndrome, I’ll be getting them all ASAP.
Good for you!😍
The storage ideas are fantastic! And I am soooooo glad I draw my artistic line at not doing paper crafts! I tried stamping and the like several years back and didn’t think it would be something I did frequently. 😋 After watching this however, I WANT THEM ALL!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
This is sooo helpful thank you!! I’m currently keeping my copics in the bag they come in
Great idea on storage .......Thanks Sandy
Awesome information, thank you for sharing
Good to know there is also a Copic refill container insert. I may have to look into that.
Thank you!! This is a great video idea!!! I love it...
Wow such great ideas. Originally I planned to go with the stamp n storage cubbies but as my collection is growing and I seem to like to bring my markers with me I think I may go with the art bin with dividers that you showed. It shouldn't be too heavy. Helpful video.
Great video! Thank you! Jenn
ALL THESE MARKERS I WANNA CRY
I have 6
Marionette
I have -25 :D
Marionette I have none but I'm getting some for my birthday !!
Its okay, i only have 1. :)
of copics, i have off-brand markers--
Marionette ME TOO!!!😭
Marionette i have 0 😎😭😭😭
I just purchased the 72 piece Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers and am eagerly awaiting there arrival. So I am storage shopping. Thanks for all the ideas. I will have to have a bin of some kind as I live in a very small apartment and have no craftroom. Maybe someday. lol
I found a perfect storage for my copics! I like them all to be in the order one by one, not in the plastic bags. So I took a little cardboard box, cut to the size cardboard dividers for rows, and put there markers in rows! Very easy and cheap!
Wow this is what Copic heaven looks like
HEAVEN . Very helpful video can’t wait to have the full set :D
I keep my copics in the little clear plastic cases they came in, with the tops off of course, there are four which hold 36 each. And so far so good!, but we shall see! TFS, Annette
I use the big cosmetic bags, where I insert cut to the markers' height cereal boxes, in which I put cardboard divivers to divide markers into rows using the color family's order. I enjoy rows more than anything else. The cosmetic bags close with zippers and this way I could take my bags outside the house or go from one room to another
The amount of markers is goals :D
Thank you for this video! I put my markers in a pencil case I bought from Justice 3 years ago. Lately I haven’t been able to fit my markers in it.
thanks for your information sandy allnock and anette siverson
Wow Sandy, you are such an amazing person for doing this for us.....so, so helpful!
Cheers!
THIS IS SO HELPFUL 👍🏽😁 thank u 🤓💓
Thanks for your help! I couldn't find the link to your most refilled copics. I would love to see which refills you use most! Thanks so much for your time! Christy
I use the lighting grid with a really useful box. I have not had problems with the lids coming off.
Thanks for the great video! I keep mine in bags by color family in a overnight cosmetic bag. I found putting them in the right slot was making me crazy! And I like to squash the pens bag around in the bag to get color combinations!
I don't have copics (yet!) but I store my prismas in a wine rack thing from Pier imports with little cups in it and stuff. It looks pretty (in my opinion, at least) and it make it pretty easy to find what type of color I'm looking for because I can group by cup (I'm colorblind). I guess it's pretty much just the lazy woman's square rack that a lot of people seem to have, though xp
EDIT: Oops, well now I see I'm not the only one! Great minds think alike!
You just got 1 subscriber closer to 100,000 subs! Congratulations!
Thanks!!!
i love your vocabulary
I use Spectrum Noir markers, and the problem is they are hexagonal 14x17mm, where most markers are 15-16mm max, so these will not fit in by far most things unfortunately.
I was thinking about some AliExpres cases, usually those with some (removable) pages/flaps, all with elastic bands to hold them, but i feel that would still be a bit of a hassle, and i don't really take my markers anywhere anyway.
So i guess i too am just going to buy the Crafter's Companion ones meant for them, though i'd rather have some case i could put down normally or on the side.
Guess i am gonna have to dedicate some desk space to them, on my small desk, with not so much space left. That said, my desk needs to be replaced.
But, expensive.
A lot of good ideas thank you...
Hi Sandy !! Thank you for bringing this awesome Copic Storage System Video for us. Well I just wanted to bring to your notice that By mistake one of the pictures has been labelled wrong. At 10:27 the pic on the bottom right (with Colorful tins) was shared by me on your Facebook Page. It shows Stacy !! :)
+Riti Poddar oh shoot! I'm so sorry---I had a gajillion pics and thought I got them labeled right. Phoo... :(
I have like over 200 markers and only a hand full of refills however I am planing to build my own storage for them, I have a shelf above my desk and I plan to build the copic storage into the shelf so it's always in front of me when ever I need it, since I don't travel it works for me. I rather have the markers set up in front of me that way it's less hassle when I want to use them.
Just bought the your hex card and filled in with the copic markers I have (42) and it looks so insignificant right now. But, watching your video want to mention that we have the hard cases for another purpose and they can be purchased at Harbor Freight and Salvage at a very reasonable price.
Wonderful thanks
I have the same setup but Copic no longer makes the black fabric case so I have not replaced it. The company that makes the insert is now called The Gray Barn and they have a case for the new Copic refills. Great for storage.
Thanks for the update, I didn’t know about the Gray Barn name change.
Awesome video
1:54 'only' 276 markers XD
I know, right? lol :)
Sandy, I have the box made out of the lighting grid. The first time I put it together I had the trouble of the caps falling off and had trouble getting the pens out because my not slender fingers could not get between the markers to pull that out. What I did to fix this is make sure that the bottom grid is almost all the way against the bottom of the box I am using. This helps so you don't lose the caps. The second grid I made sure that it is positioned a little less then halfway down the marker. This gives my fingers enough room to slightly move the other markers around the one I am pull out so I can get it. I hope this made sense. If not I can try and clarify.
Dawn Fitch I had the same problem with my lighting grid. I placed the bottom grid on the bottom of my case and set the top grid to come JUST below where the cap opens, as I found that it was the cap that kept getting caught. It works perfectly and I don’t have to worry about being super careful or fighting to get my markers out!
some of these were super cool! I just had to watch, even though I don't have copics yet...just can't afford them, and even if I could start getting them slowly, (which I can't right now) last I looked they were almost impossible to find, so...think it will be a long while before I get some sadly. :( Sure WISH I could though, cause I'd LOVE to be able to color on my cards better than the cheap bic's I have will. LOL They just don't have enough colors to make me even halfway happy! LOL
Good video! thanxxxxx
Hey dear,
Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful ideas.
I m in love with that blue metal box. Can you please share from where I can bought it.
Unfortunately it’s not been available for years now…
You just earned a new subscriber. 😊
+Galactic Abigail woohoo! 👍🏻
Thank you! Yes I did. But did not see where she found hers yet...
Thank you for this video. I get 3 prescription bottles a month, I may try that idea.
Perfect!
I used square down pipe cut into copic length and stacked together using my hot glue gun. Also this system can easily be added to. Just needs a back put on so the Copics don't all fall through.
I Actually use an old small suitcase for my markers, its a small bag with wheels so i can travel easily with them. My uncle had made me a wooden grid box with a lid so none got lose or fell out if i ever traveled!
Harbor Freight has this case - NEAR IDENTICAL for an AMAZING PRICE! Also w key & it comes w a full block of foam inserts you can even customize! - I guarantee it will be a better buy so I hope this helps some of you starving artists! 👍❤️
I have 2 separate storage cases 1 for my caios one for my sketches.
I have about 68 caios and 42 sketches
For the caios I have the 72 set plastic case but I didn't get the set I just bought the empty container and put my own caios in it.
For the sketches I have a photo box. It's a clear case that has individual mini cases in them so I can see the markers through them.
Thank you😀👍
WOW……beautiful💕
Looking for info on where Erin got hers.. Thanks
I was lazy and didn't need to travel with mine. I use a cheap, plastic heavy duty tool organizer (Akro-Mills, 24 large drawer small parts storage cabinet model #10124) you can find in a local home improvement store/Home depot online. I have just enough copics(128 total, so 32 in each of drawer holes) I lined the bottom 4 spaces with cardboard, then placed in the copics instead of using the plastic drawers in it. I have So much stuff in two of those things - My Copic collection, jewellery making supplies, beads and tools on the backside of my desk so that all I have to do is reach for whats needed and fits under the window above perfectly.
Sandy, I am curious if you know where or how we can buy the little totes that go inside the big copic storage bag? I really liked the idea I saw that was a Raskog cart with all those bags in the top that were easy to lift out and take with you. I am wanting to do something like that. Any ideas? I've looked on Amazon, Dick Blick, Ellen Hutson, and SSS has it at a great price but is SOLD OUT NOOOOOO...
+Wendy Cranford I've never seen the bags sold separately
Please let tell me it’s better the Copic storage vertical or horizontal??? Many thanks for your video it have a lot of inspiration for me !
Always look at what manufacturers sell for storage. Copic sells both horizontal and vertical. So both are fine.
TJ and Things has changed their name now to OurGrayBarn and they do SN and other inserts too now!
Soda cartons/ (some wooden milk cartons)! Michaels sells them and they have 25 slots that hold about 25 per!
Man, i wish i could get those markers
I guess artists are beggars and crafters are the rich folk, who have "hubbies", cats and dogs and a million friends they can send all their thousands of handmade cards to - LOL! Sorry, I couldn`t resist because I`ve got only 2 copic markers :)))) Thanks Sandy, I love all your videos, Josi
So many great ideas. Interesting how many are stored upright rather than horizontally. Is that ok? I was hoping to pop mine in containers on top of a Raskog so I can make my cart a colouring cart to move out of the craft room.
I’ve had mine vertical for 15 years. It’s fine. Only distress markers are picky.
Can you lift the grid out of the black copic case and set it onto a table and then put the whole grid filled with markers back into the black copic case easily? Thanks for this video!
+christymc33 nope, there's no bottom to it.
That last one though :0 goals
Thank you for posting h Th is!!!
Such an array of different storage ideas. I have a train case with an insert from copic and another one since I keep adding to my collection. Mine are by color number and easy to find. thanks for sharing. Edna B.
Trying to find the information on individual pics about storage and where they got them... Thanks
There are stills on the blog post linked in the description - however lots don't have links, it's just items they got at hardware stores.
Great video! Thank you. 👍🏻😃
One question though, am I supposed to have my markers standing up? Since the bag/suitcase you showed plus almost every one else in this video have them standing up.
I'm new to Copics, and have like (so far) only 30ish. But, I keep mine lying down in a small container. Is that wrong?
Thankful for an answer. 👍🏻😉
With ANY medium, look at what the company who manufactures it sells. Copic sells both kinds, horizontal and vertical. There’s no need to wonder.
7:42 the light shining action the beautiful various inks 😂 😍
Sandy, or anyone else that may know. Does the smaller insert from TJandthings that goes into the copic bag fit into a Raskog cart? Thanks in advance.
I bet TJ has the specs on their site...
