    I put all my wire into rolls that are tight enough to fit into a
    large (3.7L) Ziploc Freezer bags. Then I can clearly label the front
    with Black Sharpie or White printed labels from the printer on the
    computer. That way I can clearly label sizes in gauge and inch/mm
    dimensions and a separate label for price per inch/foot. As they are
    thick and clear I can then hang them on a wall with peg board. This
    helps them remain cleaner as well. Just do not use rubber bands or
    twist ties (commercial) to secure coils as this can lead to
    tarnishing. 

    The only thing I Keep in a drawer is the Sheet as I quickly becomes
    to heavy and the corners of the sheet cut the bag. I usually duck
    tape the bottom edge and corners to prevent cutting through the bags.
