Coin storage and transporting solutions

When I hit the shows I bring with me a PCGS black box for holding my coins. However older NGC slabs are a little too big. Is there a generic solutions for holding both sized slabs?

I presume someone makes a box sized for “soapbox” ANACS slabs. Currently I just put anything not a PCGS holder in sideways. Eventually I would like something to actually hold them. Any suggestions?

    This box will hold all PCGS - NGC - ICG slabs. Not sure about ANACS as I don't own any but if they are similar to these it should fit. It is a couple inches longer than a PCGS Box and taller.

    I bought this one, it’s a little tight for the fatty holders but they do fit. They range from 20-100 coins, keeps everything secure, latches tight, and has a convenient handle.

    Both suggestions above are good solutions. I have both. You could also keep pieces of
    small-bubble wrap or small zip lock bags to put the oversize slab in. Then it can lay sideways in the box safely until you get it home. Lay the sideways slabs between two upright slabs to reduce movement.

    I have PCGS boxes and an ICG box or two.. I just put slabs in whatever way they will fit...in slots, laying down, on top of each other if necessary. They don't move much and I have had no damage. Not OCD about such things. Cheers, RickO
