I've used them for storing all sorts of stuff.
I have stuff stored in them as well. Mine are all salvaged mailers.
Garage sale plastic ware works well also. Seems I have boolits and reloading stuff stored in just about everything.

I like the metal cookie or fruit cake tins I get at the second hand stores for a quarter. The tins are strong and seal nicely, I spray them with a clear acrylic I get at Wallyworld for a dollar a can to seal them from rusting. Strong, and cheap what more could you ask for?

We get a lot of samples in them at work and I grab them before they get trashed. You can fill them with bullets and they wont collapse. I just tape over the ends and write all the info on the tape. We also get some smaller really sturdy slip top boxes that I use for smaller bullets.
I like the plastic coffee containers with the snap lids. Can get a lot of boolits in them!

I'd seen these before. And I actually have a designed a boolit box. But I decided to buy a 50 pk of the 4x4x4 tucking lid boxes. Thanks for the link.

GOA and FPC have done more in the last decade than your NRA has done in it's entire existence... Support the ones that actually do something for you.
I use the plastic tubs that baby wipes come in. Not sure what I'm gonna use when my little man grows out of wipes
I envy those of you with a dry area, that don't have to worry about cardboard falling to pieces.
I bought (1987) a case of rigid clear plastic containers with sealing lids at a wholesaler. They nest, hold a liter, are transparent, and fit three high, in my metal shelves. I think the case held 96, and cost $13. I still have about 30 in the box.
A liter is about all I care to handle, and lasts a long time.
Before finding them, I used anything that would contain them without getting dirty, but having to move and open all the different containers got to be a chore. Now their organized in lots less space, and I can tell at a glance, what and approx. how many.

I use empty powder cannisters. Put masking tape over the label and use a sharpie to label.

Thanks SUo, way cheaper & look to be better, than Midway boxes.
If someone finds a cheaper source for the indestructo mailers, post a link here please. I just tried to oder some from this company and the shipping was extremely overpriced. $35 for a hundred boxes! I will post a link to a new one when I find a cheaper place.
