Advantages:

     * Tin Boxes keep packets from damage by ants and humidity.

     * Shallow Trays are ideal to display sugar lumps.

     * Plastic cabinets with drawers make packets easy to find and keep them undamaged.

Disadvantages:
	
     * You cannot read the label or identification number on a lump.

     * Storage becomes a problem with quantity.

     * It is not easy to add to, or arrange the collection.

     * Viewing them is not easy.

     * Tin boxes make it difficult to see packets and keep them flat.

     * Has to be kept in a dry area as moisture affects sugar and discolours wrappers.

     * Sugar is combustible.(Remember the amateur rocket fuelled with sugar.)

Advantages:

     * Both sides of the packet can be seen.

     * Different size pockets are available to accommodate most packets.

     * Pages and packets can be moved around easily.

     * Lump wrappers can be filed back to back or with a backing insert, 
		using both sides of the pocket.	

     * New pages can be added where necessary.

     * Packets and wrappers are protected by plastic pockets and do not get knocked 
      		or damaged by constant turning of the pages.

     * Cigarette card album pages come in a variety of pocket sizes. 
		They are less deep and wasteful of space than A4 pockets.
		(Cigarette card albums are available from stamp shops.)
     
     * WH Smith phonecard pages fit almost perfectly, 20 or more to a page.

Disadvantages:

     * Lump wrappers - the original design concept of a 3 dimensional object is lost.

     * Sugar sticks are an awkard size.
		(They can be stored in Collecta/WH Smith/Flash Foto or Country Yarns.)

     * Price of plastic pages varies.

     * Be careful which pages you use, some are not designed for long term storage 
		of packets, and can cause discolouration.

     * Phonecard album pockets are not always big enough.
