This is not the first time this item has been posted here, but I think it's cool, so forgive me.

I had been storing 3 mL vials in the freezer, within a small styrofoam box with ice packs, to try and reduce temperature swings during the defrost cycle and open door times. But the styrofoam box, small though it was, was still relatively huge.

I found that someone created a vial tray insert for the Hydrapeak 32 oz vacuum jar, and released the 3d printer files. So, I got the jar ($23) and printed the trays ($3).

I think there is an etsy shop where you can buy these, but ... 3d printing has hit the point where it's a pretty reasonable thing to do yourself. If you are the kind of person who is here researching peptides, you are technical enough to feed and care for a 3d printer. For $200 you can have everything you need to make stuff like this yourself. I'm a big fan. It's a wonderful tool.

Thanks for the tip! I don't plan to buy a 3D printer myself, but I'm going to look these up on Etsy. There are plenty of knockoff vacuum sealed things with the same dimensions!

Lol same! Got to go measure my mini fridge shelf.
 
I did a bunch of experimentation around this idea a while back and ultimately abandoned it because it’s such a poor use of space. Boxes are more space-efficient if you’re hoarding more than a kit or two.
