If the box never moves it probably isn't a problem.? If it is a drawer or toolbox then every time it vibrates you will have sharp edges wearing against each other and becoming dull.
I 3D print divided and stacking holders for my loose drills, taps, and reamers.? This takes up more space than if they are all banging into each other, but not a lot more, and is better for storage.

Why is it said that reamers drills or other metal items should not touch when being stored?
I have a box of reamers from a yard sale that has > 50 reamers all lumped together in a wood box.
I cannot imagine how much room would be needed if all of these reamers were in individual holders.
These reamers have been together for years they were in the box before I bought it 10 years ago.
So why is it said to not allow them to touch?
