I use the little flat plastic bobbins. They don't take up a lot of space, and you can write the DMC number on the top with a sharpie. I keep mine in a plastic thread storage box. I have a big double sided one now because my floss collection quickly outgrew the first one I got lol. It's nice because even the big box doesn't take up much room, it snaps shut so nothing falls out and it keeps things organized. I got all this stuff from JoAnn's (rip) and Michaels, but any big craft store should have them or you can just order them on Amazon.
Walmart carries these floss storage bins for like $5. I have 4 of them and about 3 bins full of threaded floss. The bobbins are the best. I splurge on the plastic ones as the paper ones are only good fpr maybe 1-2 full uses before they're unusable.
Oh yeah I always get the plastic ones, I would destroy the paper ones by the time I got the floss on them lol
