 If you've only worked with through-hole components, storing surface mount parts may seem like a challenge. Regular storage drawers won't cut it. You'll want something more compact that closes securely. For a small collection of SMD parts, you might get away with using envelopes or a sectioned pill box. For a sturdier, more specialized solution, there are these modular snap boxes which pop open with a press, come in a variety of sizes, and can be connected for a customized configuration. If you have a large surface mount inventory, the Boxall gives you 144 individual pop open compartments in a clamshell case. That's a lot of spots. And if you need an instant inventory of surface mount parts, you can pick up a variety of resistors and capacitors of a particular size in tidy ring binder format. You can't be pre-organized.
