Safest way to store rails

I store them horizontal in Festool bags, except for the FS1080 that is attached to the MFT thingy (but still horizontal). That last one not in bag is also the only one that keeps losing it's anti-splinter strip.
 
I made up a plywood box for the rails that lives in my van, its far and away better than the very underwhelming Festool rail bag.
I sometimes knock up wooden clips (With rotating top clips to ease fitting/removal) to hold them onto walls where I set up impromptu workshops.

I never have them resting on the no clearance strip and have got enough control of any potential obsessive compulsive disorder to realise that having the advertising writing the right way up is far less important than having the strip and consequently rail on good condition.
Im a carpenter by trade, not an advertising exec.
For the true Ob-Coms amongst you all, maybe the best way to show just how Ob-Com you are would be to show us the letter you wrote to Festool asking why the writing on the rail is upside down when the rail is stored properly.
Otherwise, fail yer not proper Ob-Com, yer just more bothered about lables than function.
IMO like.

Ok, but are you just a carpenter, or a "Festool-certified" carpenter? :unsure:
