Dropper bottle storage

Racks for Vallejo, Army Painter and AK droppers

Standard 17–18 ml dropper bottles are close enough in size that the same rack usually fits them all, with holes of about 26–27.5 mm. LITKO publishes 108 bottles in a rack only 4 in deep. On a desk, compare footprint per bottle.

Tips

Storing dropper bottles

  • Larger 35 ml and 60 ml bottles (washes, primers, mediums) need their own slots or shelf.
  • Tilted wells keep labels readable. Our Rack 35 listing says 13°, and the Rack 38 leans back 15°.
  • Recessed wells stop bottles tipping when you pull one out.
  • Mixing pots and droppers? See Citadel pot storage for mixed racks.

Upright or upside down? See how to store miniature paints. Short on desk? Small-space storage · wall-mounted racks. More in the FAQ.
