If a deck comes with a sturdy box , (like Hay House quality), I will leave it in that . But other decks have to come out of their boxes and get into bags that I make myself . The average box is just too flimsy and over time is going to wear badly . Or the box is oversized and isn't practical . I will flatten the small , thin boxes out and store them separately in case I ever decide to sell the deck in the future , or just for the sake of maintaining collectible integrity .
I do have some great custom made boxes for certain decks . I don't think they are being made anymore , so I can't post a link to those . Those boxes usually get put in drawers unless I decide to display them , and the bags end up in what I call the Tower of Tarot - a tall , narrow bookshelf with 2 plastic bins per shelf to hold the bags upright .
Last week I finally got around to getting caught up with my bag making and got the last of the decks out of clear plastic zip lock bags . I made 41 bags ! (shock) 26 for me , one for my daughter , the rest for friends . Now in the interest of being able to find what I am looking for , I am going to organize the decks by category and maybe group some together in chests .
This is my bunch of goddess decks in a dollar store box I plan to decorate in the future :

And these are a few of the ones I made using appliqued fabric pieces :
