[NHCOLL-L:803] Question about boxes

[Caleb Morse]

Hello! 

I want to purchase boxes for storage of small, 3-dimensional herbarium specimens (these mostly fruits). I need boxes of two sizes: 6.25x4.5x2.25" and 10x7.5x5".These must be fully lidded (ie, without a hinged lid, and with a lip that extends to the bottom of the box), and -if possible- have some kind of clasp to keep the box from opening accidentally. I really like the materials used by the Hollinger Corporation, but their boxes are not fitted with clasps, and their prices are pretty steep (at 300 each of the smaller boxes would cost me $2.79; at 75 each the larger would cost me $6.14). Can anyone point me to a company that sells archival quality, reasonably-priced, made-to-order boxes?

Thanks! Caleb
