  I have started using sports card boxes, the ones that are called " Set Box ". Slabs fit real good
  in them and you can get different sizes. Check out a sports card shop near you or buy them on line.

  I would never use rubber bands for long term storage... rubber doesn't do good things to coins and I know slabs aren't airtight. I wouldn't chance it.

  I buy a bigger box or another box. I do not use cardboard boxes for coin storage. Inert plastic boxes designed for long term storage, such as a scrapbooking box can hold a ton of slabs and cost $5 to $12. Rubber bands are another no-no. I might put a few slabs in a plastic sandwich bag (again, anything plastic that is food safe tends to be coin safe or at least slab safe).

  I always used NGC storage boxes...
  
  I would just get another box since I know I would have already weeded out the weak coins because I follow the "box of 20" philosophy.

  I used to just squeeze more slabs in the Intercept Shield box, until I noticed I was scratching my slabs due to the tight fit. Now I spring for another of the IS boxes whenever one pops up. In the interim, I prefer the blue PCGS boxes.

  Agree. They are high in sulfur---stretch one a few times and smell it. Slabs are NOT air tight.
