How do you store your belts?

[J. Hoffman]

I'm trying to find an efficient way to store my different belts. I tried searching "belt storage" and could find anything related to it. I don't have much space in my shop and I need a way to separate grits, new/old belts, ceramic/AO belts etc. I'm thinking maybe some kind of over-sized tie rack that hangs from the ceiling. What kind of suggestions do you have. Pictures would be even better.

I like the idea of keeping them enclosed in a box or cabinet that keep them clean.

Separate spaces for the grits.

If stray 50 grit that wore off a belt and settles on to contaminate your 800 grit belts, it won't help you.

I keep them in their original boxes to avoid contamination. For belts on the go, I keep those hanging on the wall behind the grinder.

Just keep them where grit won't get on the inner surface, and occasionaly blow them off with compressed air or hit them with the shop vac. The grit will reek havoc on your aluminum drive wheels and will imbed in a rubber contact wheel.
