Just wondering what options/sources people are using these days.
Bonus points if magnetization is incorporated.

Shogun miniatures used to make a bunch of trays/bases if he's still doing it, nice quality stuff.

Litko movement trays: litko.net/collections/movement-traysThey are high quality and have options for basically any size you could ever want. Options for snug or roomy fix. Pre-cut inserts of steal or magnetic material. Trays for skirmish formation, etc.

.080 inch plasticard, measure and chop up into movement trays. Before the fantasy purge I bought a bunch of their modular movement trays and still have bits from those I use on the side and edges of the plasticard movement bases I make.
From there magnetic sheet glued to the bases and I put round magnets on each model. Works pretty well.

I make them. I used to make them from cardstock (like from a packet of cereal) and some bucatini for the edges. Nowadays I use balsa wood and long matches, or plasticard and plastic rods, depending on what I have on hand. buying them made or printing them is arguably easier and faster; but making stuff, I find, is a great way to get the creative juices flowing. As a matter of fact, I was making a couple small ones yesterday when inspiration struck and I decided to make trays that are also unit markers of some sort. Here's a WIP picture  ten points to who guesses what they're for

I just buy them used and cheap when I see them. I don't even have that many. my next step is what Luigino is doing but that is when I have a display case and an army actually "finished."

I'm so Orc-y... Generally mine are cut from cardboard. Sometimes when I feel flash I give it an edge with either a bead of hot glue or a thin rail of cardboard
I have several GW official movement trays that I've received with eBay purchases and I bought magnetised bases for a tournament army that never got to a tournament... They came from "Back 2 Base-ix" on eBay. And if I didn't have hundreds of units, this would be what I would use for a complete collection...
