We have our puzzles bagged inside the boxes currently, but I am loving these H-bands!  I think we'll need to order some.  Also, regarding board games, I put individual sets of pieces into small jewelry/snack size ziploc bags and label them with what should be in there.  It's particularly important for games like Monopoly with a lot of small pieces that can get lost easily and makes it easier to check over at check in.

We use the same H bands, also for our jigsaw puzzles.  So far, they have all come back with the puzzles/games.  We don't reinforce the corners, but it's probably a good idea.

This is what we do as well. No extra bags or boxes.

Hi Melissa, 

We circulate the boxes with tape to reinforce the corners, and these H Bands to hold them shut:

Hi All,
I am wanting a small collection of games that can be used in house or checked out. What kind of storage are you all using for circulating board games? I have some zippered totes but they are a bit much for some of the smaller games. Let me know what you are using, and pictures would be great if you have any!
 
Thanks,
