Sure, see thru would be ideal ... but who cares when the price is right?

Instead of see thru, you can easily label the edge of the box as to what's inside.
The nice thing is that you can stack them nice and high, and easily read what's in each, then pull out the one you want.

I've covered pizza boxes with contact plastic ... makes it prettier!!! I keep several in different sizes ready and waiting to be used.

you want the ones from Art bin that are 14" with handles! The cheaper ones at hobby lobby for scrapbooking don't have handles OR secure latches

I saw some of the boxes at Dollar General today!! They have never had them before. My thought was "what can I do with these??" A senior moment and I was in a hurry so didn't price them. But I'll go back and look. These were the clear/opaque ones.

I also love the boxes from Joann's. The price has gone up since I first bought them so I'm glad I bought a lot when I did. At last count I had 27 of them and most are full of projects.

Check in the Scrapbooking section of Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or JoAnns. Also, I have found some of the plastic drawers on wheels at WalMart or Big Lots has the right size and you can color sort with those. I bought one with 9 drawers and it works great. Just carry a tape measure with you to make sure the inside measurement is big enough. Most will hold 12" but not 12/5".

Hi, I get new boxes from my local pizza shop. Very nominal fee. Think last one way $0.25. Work great.

If you don't need plastic, try a new pizza box which are sold ipacks of 20 at Gordon Food Services. This would be a place that church food kitchens or caterers shop, bulk food and items.
