Learn the correct way to fold and store your magnetic folding dice tray for compact travel and long-lasting use. Includes common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
To fold and store your magnetic folding dice tray, collapse the side walls by breaking the magnetic seal at each corner, then fold the tray flat along the pre-creased lines. Store it in a flat pouch or backpack compartment to protect the magnets and fabric.
Why proper folding matters
Magnetic folding dice trays are designed for portability, but improper folding can weaken the corner magnets over time or crease the fabric unevenly. Knowing the correct sequence keeps the tray functional and extends its lifespan.
Step-by-step folding and storage guide
- 1. Break the magnetic seals: Gently lift each corner of the tray to separate the magnets. Avoid pulling the fabric—apply pressure near the seam to release the magnet cleanly. Common mistake: yanking the fabric can misalign the magnets over time.
- 2. Flatten the side walls: Once all corners are free, press the side walls flat against the base. The tray will lie flat along its pre-creased fold lines. If the tray doesn't lie flat, check that all four magnets are fully separated.
- 3. Fold the tray neatly: Fold the flattened tray along the natural creases into thirds or halves (depending on the design). Smooth out any air pockets to keep the fold compact. Forcing a fold against the crease can damage the fabric backing.
- 4. Store in a protective sleeve or compartment: Slide the folded tray into a flat pouch, a dedicated dice tray storage sleeve, or a backpack pocket. Avoid placing heavy objects on top that could stress the magnets. Storing loose in a bag with sharp items can tear the fabric or scratch the magnets.
