    Depending on the size of the puzzle, an empty pizza box is great for storing the puzzle. You also might use frame boxes; just ask a frame store for some of its leftover boxes.

    How can I frame my puzzle and still be able to take it apart?
    Community Answer
    Complete your puzzle on the frame: remove the glass, work on the back of the frame if it is wood or cardboard. If it is a large frame, use sticky foam. Cut the foam to final size of puzzle (it will be the backing later), and complete the puzzle there. When finished, return the glass and frame it tightly. You will be able to remove the pieces if desired.
