For storing flies it is better to simply store them loose in a box.
This prevents crushing hackles etc, by pushing them into foam and the
like.

Foam and various other systems are really transport systems, there is
no advantage in having stock flies stored in this manner.

If you do want to store flies using such a system, then you might like
to try this;

This is ordinary self-adhesively-backed draught excluder which you can
get cheaply in any DIY market or similar.

If you push magnetic strip ( plastic coated, or epoxied, RUST!) up the
core of the material, it will also hold barbless flies securely. It
is of course also suitable for lining any fly-boxes. It is cheap,
effective, and easily replaceable.
