Give the back panel an editorial job
RUDSTA anthracite 504.501.37 has a metal back that IKEA describes as usable with magnets. That creates a practical option for a mixed collection: place a small release index or numbered key behind the objects instead of sticking labels to their bases. Magnets are a planning possibility, not a supplied accessory established by this record.
Write the minimum information that helps someone identify an item: full release name, maker and the number used in your private inventory. Keep purchase receipts and personal details outside the display. Place the key where it can be read without making visitors handle the objects.
Install the cabinet before designing the index
Do not borrow another cabinet's installation assumptions. The accompanying BLÅLIDEN assembly document explicitly requires wall attachment and suitable fasteners; it is a reminder to consult the exact RUDSTA instructions for your wall. The magnetic back does not establish an allowable weight for attached objects. Use the idea for light information cards only after checking the applicable guidance.
