Answers to common questions about universal pen tray storage, including how to store markers upright, Spectrum Noir pen trays, and practical craft pen storage ideas.
Quick answer
For most crafters, the Universal Pen Trays system offers a flexible way to store pens and markers neatly. Choose the black six-tray set if you want a ready-to-use modular organizer, or the larger set that holds six trays if you need to expand. Always store alcohol markers horizontally, but upright storage works for water-based pens and pencils.
Why tray capacity and pen diameter matter
The Universal Pen Trays are designed to accommodate pens up to 17mm in diameter, so most standard markers and pens fit securely. Each tray holds twelve pens, giving you a clear count for planning your storage. If you use thicker-barrelled pens, check the diameter before buying to avoid a loose fit.
Horizontal vs upright storage: what works for your pens
Alcohol-based markers like Spectrum Noir should be stored horizontally to maintain consistent ink flow to both ends. Water-based markers, fineliners, and pencils can be stored upright without issue. The Universal Pen Trays are modular, so you can configure them to lie flat for alcohol markers or stand upright for other pens.

- Can I store markers upright in these trays?
- Yes, but only for water-based markers and pencils. Alcohol markers such as Spectrum Noir should be stored horizontally to keep ink flowing evenly to both ends. Check your marker type before deciding on upright or flat storage.
- What is the maximum pen diameter the trays support?
- The trays accommodate pens up to 17mm in diameter. Measure the widest part of your pen barrel if you are unsure.
