Small chipboard boxes with metal edges source

Doing some organizing of bolts, fittings, adapters ect and looking for a source of quality boxes.

Years ago I remember seeing some cardboard/chipboard boxes thats bolts came in around 2"x2"x2"-3"x3"x3" that were from thicker chipboard and had metal reinforcements along the edges. I can't recall the brand but would like to find something similar.

Thanks.

I had this one bookmarked from some time ago. Hollingers or something like that is the one I had bookmarked in my brain.
Google should bring up more.

Thanks all. The link is what I was aiming for. Its overkill for my needs but if I start questioning my wants everything falls apart.

I know plastic has taken over but I just find it easier to toss small odds and ends into a box and write on it what it is while I still actually know.

The clear bins for me suck because nothing I use to write on them stays for long. Label stickers peel off over time it seems. Hate having to get a thread pitch gauge and calipers out to figure out what length and thread it is.

OT but I can still remember growing up playing around in my pops garage. If I needed a bolt/nut first thing needed was a screw driver then walk over to the large metal coffee can filled with odds and ins. Use the screw driver to stir it for a few secs then stare at it until you see something close.
