The flat card-like substrate is formed by front, rear and middle layers laminated together in a sandwiched facing relationship with one another. The front and rear layers of the substrate are solid layers. The middle layer of the substrate has a plurality of separate voids or cutouts defined therein. Each of the cutouts is shaped to match a profile of a given one of a plurality of different tools. When the three layers are sealed or laminated together, these cutouts define pockets in the holder for receiving the various tools.
