I have mine in single layers boxes, in the same format as you do.  Works well for me.

This is actually a box that stores the minature kids cars!

Thats what I use....the fishing tackle boxes and put my thread on the little cards.

I store mine the same way. Basically, I bought a pack of the little stickers with the numbers on them and over the course of the year any time I was somewhere that sold thread, I'd pick up a few skeins.

The funny thing is that I inherited my aunt's thread collection when she passed and she stored hers a completely different way (a box of skeins sorted into individual jewelry bags -- she did a lot of floral/plant cross stitches so there's tons of duplicates of various greens and browns.

So now when I run out I have a process of checking her stash before heading to the store. It's like having a back-up thread source, which comes in handy when I run out at 10 o'clock at night and don't want to wait until morning.
