Zip ties and their containment

Mods, if this doesnt belong here, PlEaSe MoVe t0 ThE ApPropIAtE pLaCe.
I'm going to assume many of you are like me and use zipties for basically everything and anything.
I have zipties in almost any size, up to and including the Cobracuffs.
My problem is I can't keep them all in a container, there are just to many, and too many different sizes.
Who's got a remedy that doesn't look like it fell off a garbage truck in backwoods Kentucky?

Zipties should be secured with a ziptie. It is in their nature. Just like this bundle that happened to be sitting right next to me when you asked.

Five gallon bucket. Put a zip tie around each different size bundle and toss it in. As the pack gets loose just cinch down on the zip tie.

I’m just microseconds too slow.

Yep, this is how I do it too. Bundle by size and as you use them you just tighten the zip tie. Throw the bundles in a bag or bucket.

I leave them in the bag they came in, and poke a hole, just big enough to get one out, in the center of the end of the bag about 1/2“ from the end seam. That way they dont wiggle out on their own.
If I have a group of loose ones, like the others, I put a ziptie around them.

Keep them loose in your tool bag, that way when you are digging for one you can find those hose clamps you forgot about!

Those clear plastic fishing table boxes/drawers. Dividers can be set up for different lengths.

At work we found it very handy to use a leg of a table, shelf, railing or whatever is most closest to point of and use zip tie to a zip tied bundle ( just like mentioned earlier ) so all that is needed is to simply reach and pick as needed.
Now we easily went through a hundred and fifty a shift in each area so it was very convenient as to where we placed these bundles but I adopted the idea at home but just used the leg of a work bench for larger size ties and keep the much smaller ones bundled up in my electrical drawer with related wiring junk.
It’s a real convenient storage system that allows you to pick one single handedly if needed.

I use one of those plastic bins with adjustable dividers. Of course there are some mega sized zips that don't fit in it, but I rarely need those anyway.
In a travel kit though, it's a bundle that is then zip tied together.

I slit a hole in the bag in the middle, pull them out as needed. They never fall out of the bag no matter who grabs them. I store them in a 3" pvc tube about 16" long with pipe caps on both ends

i do bigjbear in the toolbox, bag ripped in the middle in garage and in work truck

I keep mine in a bundle of 1" PVC tubes glued together and refill as needed.

Now I feel like an idiot cutting an opening in the end of the bag.
