Fit answers
63 pre-built answers: every deck box tested against 100 double-sleeved cards, plus the ranked lists.
Every page below runs the same default stress test: 100 cards, double-sleeved (a Dragon Shield Matte outer over a KMC Perfect Fit inner), checked against one specific deck box. It's close to the toughest common case, so a box that clears it clears almost anything lighter.
Across all 60 boxes we've run through it, 28 fit cleanly, 16 land Tight, and 16 don't fit at all. That last number looks worse than it is. Line the failures up against each box's own stated capacity and every one of them is a box rated for fewer than 100 cards to begin with, a 40+, a 60+, three different 80+ models, being tested against a stack it was never built to hold. Ask a box actually rated 100+ or larger the same question, in almost every brand, and the answer is Fits or Tight. Never No.
The one place brand genuinely changes the outcome rather than just capacity: Gamegenic's XL Convertible line, where a 100+ label doesn't guarantee comfortable room because the manufacturer's own number already assumes extra-thick inner sleeves. The brand notes below dig into that and the other patterns worth knowing before you buy.
If you just want a shortlist, start with the three ranked pages. Everything else is organized by brand with the verdict shown next to every link, so you can see at a glance whether your box actually clears 100 double-sleeved cards or how far short it lands.

The double-sleeved-100 verdict for all 60boxes we track. Green means it fits, amber means tight, red means it won't. Full math and the visual cross-section are on each page.
Ultimate Guard (22)
22 boxes spanning a 40-count Boulder up to a 1000-count Omnihive. Look past the raw won't-fit count and a clean pattern shows up: every single model actually rated 100+ or larger clears the stack, Fits or Tight, every time. The seven Won't fit results below are all boxes rated under 100 cards to begin with (a 40+, a 60+, three different 80+ models), tested against a stack they were never built to hold.

Gamegenic (16)
16 boxes, and the one brand where a 100+ label doesn't guarantee room. Four of the XL Convertible boxes (Sidekick, Sidekick Pro, Watchtower, Squire) read Tight rather than Fits against our default stack, because Gamegenic's own 100+ figure already assumes thick inner sleeves. A plain double-sleeve combo eats into that margin in a way Ultimate Guard's 100+ boxes don't.

Ultra Pro (7)
7 boxes, several designed in the single-sleeve era and it shows: more fail our double-sleeved test than pass. The split lines up with recorded interior depth: the two that fit (Satin Tower, Eclipse PRO) measure 75-76mm inside; the Eclipse 2-Piece, the shallowest of the bunch at 66.4mm, is the one that doesn't.
Vault X (7)
7 boxes, and the same story as Ultimate Guard: every box actually rated for 100+ cards fits or lands Tight. The two failures are a 60+ and an 80+ box being asked to hold more cards than their own spec sheet promises.

Dragon Shield (6)
6 boxes built around nesting shells rather than raw stated capacity. The compact Nest line reads Tight across the board (real users report force and card-bowing at 100). The dedicated Magic Carpet and Double Shell fit outright. The Cube Shell is rated for 15 double-sleeved cards per shell, so one shell losing to a 100-card stack was never a fair fight, buy eight.
BCW (2)
The 2 simplest boxes in the database, no XenoSkin, no convertible trays, just a shell and a snap lid. Both land Tight, a fair result for a budget case with nothing spare to give.
