I realized today that I have too much WFRPG stuff to manage, and was planning on making tuckboxes for each of the monster type cards, standees, all of the other cards, etc, when I came up with a (I thought) great idea...
Because there is so much stuff related to a single monster "type" (for example, Beastmen have the Monster Cards, the action cards for the Monsters, and all of the standees), I developed a template for a "split" tuckbox.
Basically, it's a tuckbox that is the width and height of a standard card (such as the monster or action card), but its depth is actually split into two compartments -- the "front" one is 1/2" deep (holds about 30 cards), and the "back" one is 1" deep (for standees or any other monster-related tokens I'm not thinking of -- best I can tell, it's deep enough to hold 11 of them, and tall enough to hold a double-stack of the "regular height" ones, such as goblins).
The tuckbox is designed in a way that it can be print on a single 8.5 x 11 piece of cardstock. The constructed box measures 2.25"w x 3.5"h x 1.5"d
I also plan to make smaller ones -- both skinnier (with, say, two 1/2" compartments), and smaller for the smaller cards (for storing multiple small card sets together, or for storing things like mutation cards with corruption tokens. Things that logically belong together
In theory, at least with the smaller cards, it wouldn't be impossible to create a template that could have 3 or 4 compartments for keeping certain card types together.
Is there any interest? The reason being is that I would need to create assembly instructions if there is (they're actually really easy to put together, but some instruction is needed for the first one).
I also plan to skin them, but that's another thing for another day.

I might be interested depending on what the end product looks like.

I'd be interested in the smaller tuck boxes. I use a binder with card folders for the larger ones (separated into a Player Binder and GM Binder).

So here are some photos of the final prototype...
There are 20 "human" size standees (2 rows of 10 each) and 35 cards in the sample photos. Obviously, graphics haven't been applied yet.
Note the groove in the back for easy card removal...
And, yes, the left-hand tab is shorter than the right-hand one. And, no, there's nothing I can do about it (except to make the right-hand one shorter -- unless you want to move to Legal-size paper. I plan to put a light-grey optional cut-line in the right-hand tab if anyone is really anal about symmetry)
Based on paper-size limitations, with the standard cards, we're limited to a total depth of 1 1/2" (putting us with 1/4" margins on 8 1/2 x 11 paper). I can rearrange the compartments in a couple different setups -- 2 x 3/4" and maybe 2 x 1/2" seem the ones I'm likely to make (not counting the small cards).
These also don't currently support sleeved cards -- if someone gives me dimensions of those (I don't sleeve my cards), I can check on making a template for that (though it may be necessary to make the compartments a bit less deep if the sleeves make the cards significantly taller).
If anyone is still interested, let me know, and I can post the unskinned templates and instructions soon. (Skinning, I'll work on later, after all the templates are done).

Well, I'm interested once they are skinned.
