When I moved my shop for the 5th time about 15 months ago, I had two twelve-foot wide racks for storing matboard. They were capable of holding 960 different boards and they were nearly full!
What I had was lots of little pieces. I just couldn't bear to part with 8x10 scraps of suede and silk board, or even a favorite Alphamat. Trying to move all this board made me realize that this was just plain stupid.
In my new location I devised a system to store small quantities of 420 different matboards in a space 6 feet wide. I know exactly what I have at any given time, and I normally sell one of the 420 I stock, rather that the 1400 or so that I don't stock.
If anyone is facing a similar dilemna and wants details, please let me know and I'll post them, probably in several parts. If nobdy cares, I won't be offended and I won't waste my time or yours.
