This is what we do as well. No extra bags or boxes.

Hi All,
</div>
<div>
I am wanting a small collection of games that can be used in house or checked out. What kind of storage are you all using for circulating board games? I have some zippered totes but they are a bit much for some of the smaller games. Let me know what you are using, and pictures would be great if you have any!
