Ammo Can Hacks: 5 Space-Saving Tips for Efficient Magazine Storage

If you’re regularly re-organizing your gear, you know ammo cans can quickly turn into a jumbled mess—wasted space, tangled magazines, and missing EDC tools. Smart magazine storage isn’t just about neatness; it’s about fast access and protecting your investment. Here are five practical hacks to take your ammo can organization to the next level.

1. Use Custom Ammo Can Dividers

Standard ammo cans aren’t designed for organized storage, but ammo can dividers make all the difference. With 3D-printed dividers tailored for your can’s interior, you can separate calibers, magazines, and accessories for quick, stress-free access, even in a hurry.

2. Rely On Magazine Racks and Inserts

Stacking mags leads to scratching and wasted space. Try vertical magazine racks or modular trays—especially ones made with 3D printed gun accessories. These keep mags upright, stable, and easy to count at a glance, so you know when you’re running low.

3. Label Everything

Invest a few minutes in labeling your inserts and dividers. Use color coding or etched tags to instantly identify loaded vs. empty mags, different calibers, or specific kits. This simple trick can save you valuable time at the range or in an emergency.

4. Add Layers for Tiered Storage

Make the most of every inch by adding an insert with a pull-tab or lift-out tray. Store mags below, and use the upper layer for EDC organization—think multitools, flashlights, or a cleaning kit.

5. Personalize with Modular 3D Printed Accessories

The beauty of 3D printing is customization. Want to store ear protection, batteries, or a bore snake? Search for or design your own magazine holders, parts trays, or even holders for other daily-carry essentials. Mix and match until your ammo can fits your unique needs.

Upgrading your ammo can with these hacks turns basic storage into a high-speed, low-drag system. Whether you’re prepping for range day, travel, or home security, the right dividers and inserts will keep your gear safe, sorted, and ready-to-go.
