The answer all depends on storage space available.  For a small
collection, an old trunk with a lid with rolls on end works great as
long as it is mostly full, otherwise the boxes open up which can be
problematic.  Stacking boxes with rolls on end can crush the ends,
destroy labels or rip ends off.

However, I had the experience that one box which suffered water damage
rotted off the end of the boxes but the rolls survived; not good for
the bottom layer when rolls are place on box bottoms.

An 1899 high school provided great quarter-sawn 8-foot high bookcases,
which is the ideal situation.  All box labels can be read, with the
only problem being that the rolls should not be stacked more than six
high or the box ends can be ripped off when unloading the desired roll.

These are the most incredible cabinets I have seen.  First, they can
be hauled in most any vehicle as they break down to two ends and a
middle section, 8' x 14" x 1" thick.  Holes are drilled every two inches
on the inside of each end section, 1/4" rod sections in 1" pieces hand
screw into the hole -- and stay there!  Each shelf which is 6" wide has
a 1/4" groove under it corresponding to the peg.  (Presto!  No shelf
bracket to snag roll boxes in tight fits!)

The bottom shelf is 2" off the floor, which conceals the lag bolts
which are affixed through 2x4" ends which leave 3/4" going into the end
of the cabinet side (at top and bottom).  The middle section has a bolt
with a nut connecting the side support sections together.  A modern day
socket wrench quickly assembles these -- a great improvement over the
4-sided old style bolts.  For strength, the support units are made with
2" side rails affixed to the 2x4x6" end pieces (these are the bottom
and top sections as mentioned).
