Odd questions, but I have additional parts for my presses (ie extra jaws for coax etc etc) when I didnt have quick change plates for Inline I would just skewer a small ziplock bag on one of the long screws that attached the press to the table etc. now I am looking for a reliable method to store small parts together with press even if its mounted. Perhaps someone founds small plastic bins (similar to primer collection cups) that can be zip tied to the press??? Compartment storage boxes? I dont know I then have to go through tons of stuff to find parts.
Where do you store your press parts?

I tend to walk around Harbor freight and just pick up whatever looks like will fit. Steralite drawer systems are pretty good too. They make some smaller ones and I have a few of those. The biggest thing for me is I still put everything in a Ziploc and write with a sharpie what it goes to you because someday I’m going to forget and/or I’m going to die and I would like whoever gets it to know what parts go where. Nothing worse than going to an estate sale and just seeing a giant box of parts that have apparently no home.

Check if there’s a Container Store near you. If not, browse their online store (https://www.containerstore.com/welcome.htm). They have an amazing selection of storage systems for reasonable prices.
Something like this sitting against the wall on the bench.

Where I can not find them!
Blue Press has a couple sizes. Harbor Freight has about a dozen sizes that are clear. Different color translucent tops as well.
The Dillons are blue, but much sturdier if you drop one on the floor.

I have a bunch of spare reloading parts for "4" different loaders. I have {2} PW 900's, a PW800C and a Rockchucker. I store shot loader parts on the left side of my bench and my metallic stuff on the right side. the dies all go in a drawer on the right. It seems that every time I place an order to Larry Potterfield, I always end up ordering extra press parts along with reloading supplies.

I bought several small Stanley divided storage boxes with handles.
I use them to store electric terminals with their associated crimper.
They were about $5 each from an online tool distributor, they stack for storage. I trust them more than Harbor Freight plastics and the handle makes them a nice grab and go.
They are also big enough that they are hard to lose.
