We'll admit it, we're certified fabric junkies. Because of this, we're always trying to figure out neat and interesting ways to store our hundreds (literally) of samples. We've found that this particular shoe box works perfectly for our collections. We can see the fabrics, the price is great, and it's designed to be stacked.
How To: Store Your Fabrics
Granted, this is not how we use them (they're stacked accordingly on our desk - a desk that's impossible to photograph), but we still think this is an excellent way to store your fabrics.
We also take them to meet up with our interior design clients because they're so lightweight and easy to lug around.
The price? $7.99 at The Container Store.

Only for short term storage. The plastic outgasses and doesn't breathe so any valuable, vintage, antique or other fabrics you plan to store for years will be ruined eventually. Those go in archival materials.

Yeah, I have to agree with quiltmaster here. This would work for upholstery samples, but quilters like me need more space than that. I have a 6' long dresser that I use for fabric; I roll each piece up and line the rolls up in each drawer so that I can open them and see immediately what I have. I have some plastic bins, too, that I use to store smaller pieces for crazy quilt patchwork; one has all my blue scraps, one has all my green, etc.
