As I seem to be having a bit of a foray back into boardgames, I was a bit dis-satisfied with some of my counter storage. The ziplock bags in "Unconditional Surrender" are fine, and a big step up from the brown envelopes (!) all my old Squad Leader counters are in. For a lot of games the counters are just rattling around in the box, which for something like Panzerblitz, is a real pain (where is that last T34/85 counter?).
Riding to the rescue came Tim with a recommendation for https://cube4me.com/ counter trays. A company based in Poland who make loads of game accessories including counter trays in a range of sizes. These A4 size ones have 20 individual compartments and tight fitting lids.
I bought half a dozen of them, three standard depth (right) and three slimline ones (left). The dimensions of the various options are on the website and they are excellent value for money with a quick delivery time.
One great feature are the tight fitting lids. Unlike the lids on SPI counter trays, these don't fall off when you turn the trays sideways or even upside down, and avoid your carefully sorted counters getting all jumbled up again.
I bought the trays specifically sized for AHGC book-case games, and here is one of the standard profile trays with one and a half sets of Panzer Leader counters neatly in the box. They are even big enough to take the dice. I'm really, really pleased with those, I've got a few games in mind for the counter tray treatment, and depending how I get on I may well by some more.
