For those of you with an Expedit:
Have you found a flat-ish container that will hold your 12x12 paper and fit in the cubicles of the Expedit?
I bought two Iris containers last night, only to find they are more than 14" wide and don't fit unless I squeeze them in sideways. I'm looking for something not too tall that will lie flat in the cubes.
Thank you!

Sorry I haven't found anything flat for 12x12 paper that will fit inside the expedit cubes. I used to store my paper in the old style cropper hopper files on top of my expedit. I recently bought the new version of the CH files and they fit nicely, but they are vertical. |

I use the white storage boxes from M's. They're part of the Jetmax line and they hold a ton and fit perfectly! |

Recollections also make a box that should fit.

Not sure if they still have them, but I found white 'photo' boxes at Walmart that hold 12 x 12 paper with room to spare. | |

I've found 12 x 12 boxes like the ones shown. Maybe at Ms? They fit perfectly--both for paper and in the Expedit cubes. |

Another thread
. I also have some patterned flat cardboardish boxes from JoAnn's. They are a little bigger than 12z12 and I can stack them 3 high.

thank you all very much.
I'm going to go back to M's tomorrow and see if I can find something else. First, I'll be sure to measure the cubicles in the Expedit! 
There's also a Joann's nearby so I can check there too!
Have a great Sunday! | |

I bought the 12x12 Recollections boxes from Michael's pictured above and they do not fit in the Expedit. They are the tiniest bit too wide. I will have to look at JoAnn's about the ones someone mentioned. I really hope to find some that do fit. | |

Yeah, the M's ones do not fit. However, the ones at J's made by Pioneer do fit.

I have the J's ones--when I bought a couple of years ago, the line was called Craftology I believe. Not found in the plastic storage area, but more like a seasonal area, because they come out with new patterns a couple of times per year. I hope they still have them, 3 work perfectly in one cube! I store my finished LOs in them until I have time to put them in albums. Like M's, they are a kind of paperboard, not plastic. |

Just wanted to update that I bought the Pioneer brand boxes at Js and they do fit! They also had boxes in the seasonal area that would fit too as they were smaller than the Pioneer boxes, but still for 12x12 paper. | |

The Creative Memories Power Sort boxes fit 12x12 flat AND fit in the Expedit cubes laying flat.
You could probably stack 3-4 on too of each other in a cube. |

I'm hoping to stack them. I will go to Joann's and check out the Pioneer brand. Thanks to all of you for your help!

The 12 x 12 boxes at AC Moore also fit. I have a pic in my gallery if you want to see an example. I can seem to attach the link from my phone right now. |

Super cool--went to Joann's and got a Pioneer box today and it fits! It fits!
Gotta see how many I can stack per cube.
Ladies, they are on sale right now!  | |

I'll have to check HL next time I'm in the neighborhood. We have one about 20 miles or so away from my home.
Now I'm trying (yet again) to reorganize the Expedit. You would think with all those cubicles, everything would fit in there. But nooooo! | |

Thanks for the heads up about the Joann boxes (how much are they on sale?). I bought the recollections at M's this past Sunday and was so excited until I got home and also realized they don't fit. Sounds like a return at M's and off to Joann's! | |

They were $9.99, and 40% off through this Saturday, 3/16.
I did not find them near the photo albums, though you might think that's where they would be!  They were on a bottom shelf closer to the rest of the scrapbooking supplies. Maybe they just didn't have room for them by the albums. Our J's tends to be a bit disorganized at times. | |
