   Mine is just in a drawer but I saw someguy somewhere who rigged a hanging piece of pvc pipe from a joist (think grab bar for standing passengers on a subway train). Seemed simple and clever. I think he had long dowels stored within the pipe and rolls of tape around the pipe.

   I store mine in plastic bags from supermarkets. Even though it can be not very good option by the opinion of others :D

   I have various clamps festooning the shed. Some are stored in a vertical fashion, jaws down. This provides a vertical bar on to which tapes of various ilks & tittles can be threaded. I use the least used vertical clamp (least used as a clamp, that is) to be the most-used tape store.

   Mind, I sometimes have to take off 7 tapes to get the one I want, which sod's law says will always be the rascal at the bottom, under all the rest.

   I just use the long extended pegs on the pegboard. The ones that can hold 3-4 rolls. If I put them in a drawer or box, I'll never find them.

   I don't like tape getting dusty and cruddy. And aircandry it out. I put mine in a plastic tote. But I almost never use tape in the shop.

   Stacked on a shelf, shortest rolls on top.

   I keep mine in a drawer under my assembly table, with my cheapo superglue and various grades of epoxy.
   Michael Alm did a shop tour recently on his YT channel - he keeps his on the wall in his suspiciously dust-free shop. He has two bars spaced such that the rolls will sit well on them. Large, full rolls sit on top, on wider-spaced bars, then when they are small enough, they drop through to join the nearly used rolls on the lower, more narrowly spaced shelf. Looked clever but I'm keeping to the drawer.

   I mounted an old piece of copper pipe to a scrap 2X4 & hung it from a joist then I slide the rolls on. I keep specialty seldom used tapes in a plastic bin so they won't dry out.

    I keep mine in a shallow basket on a shelf in a cupboard - no dust and easy to find the one I need without having to move a half dozen rolls as when they are on a peg.

    I use blue painters' tape primarily for gluing up small pieces. Sometimes to temporarily hold them together until I can clamp and sometimes as a clamp. I just put the tape in my dutch tool chest top compartment where it stays clean and ready to use.
