    I love it!

    Questions - would you be able to fit more in each if you ran the dents the other way?

    Did you just cut foam to fit there?

    Overall - excellent

    Unfortunately, the box is too narrow to allow me to turn the pens the other way. When I bought the boxes, my plan was to turn the pens the other way, but the width just doesn't work out. As far as the foam goes, I bought sheets of 1" acoustic wedge foam and cut them to size for the bottom, and a piece of .5" foam just sits on top to keep the pens from bouncing into the lid. The seller that I got the boxes from has some bigger boxes, so version 2 will probably be on the way soon!
