Nothing here will be inexpensive, but it is all made for exactly what you
want. When I started out I used empty cigar boxes with styrofoam cut to fit
and glued to the bottom. No clear top but very easy to open. Gotta watch for
dermestid beetles getting in and consuming your collection with inexpensive
stuff. Even with expensive industry standard stuff for that matter.
Send for a catalogue from these people. Lots of entomolgy collecting
equipment, and lots of good books on the subject to be found here.
