In these days where some models consist of 20 plus sprues, J’s Work has come up with a suggestion for keeping them organised in the form of a Sprue Organizer.
J’s Work is offering a laser cut wooden sprue organiser, something that I think is a really good idea with the number of sprues offered in some kits. This should prevent the loss of parts which can occur when looking through sprues in a box, and I also believe it will help prevent damage to parts on the sprues once unpacked. If placed on the sprue organiser in a logical progression it should also make finding the sprue that the specific part you are looking for easy to locate, at least as far as the sprue is concerned.

Thought that was only Dragon Pz.III and PZ.IV kits, because you only use one part of some sprues.......LOL

Too right! Couldn't agree more. The idea of being able to organize your sprues standing up like that would seem to have some merit in minimizing the chances for parts to snag on each other and break, but there certainly must be a million different possibilities for creating something similar without having to pay for a pre-fabbed kit solution. Just my $0.02...

I just use the Sharpie directly on the sprue where the letter is. That way it doesn't fall off or have small bits sticking to it.

What Robin said. It also makes me feel good about my progress as the amount of sprue remaining in the kit box gets smaller and smaller.

Can't help thinking that this is a solution waiting for a problem, obviously not for me, but I hope they do well - I love companies that take a risk:)
