Why not use cardboard boxes?
I use mainly cardboard because I haven't been able to find a suppier
or plastic boxes in my area (any suggestions?) and carboard jewelry-type
boxes are cheap. Price is improtant when you need 1000s of boxes! The little
cardboard boxes also come in many convienient sizes and line-up nicely
in the drawers.
