CONTAINERS

Yes they, do. Neither Man nor Woman lives by retro hipster vinyl alone. This binder-style CD book holds (24) discs in back-to-back pages with an orange and translucent cover. Comes in an equally translucent sleeve so the CDs don't fall all over the floor of the car you have that still has a CD player.

These clear, flexible plastic 5-1/2 oz tapered cups are perfect for mixing paints for students or crafters, but then they're perfect for a lot of things—tastings of all sorts, mise en place cups for cooks, sorting small items, or anything else cupable. Plus, the price is extremely right. Our each is a bag of (50) cups.

We don’t often brag about travel pouches, but this matching set of (3), in stylish black with red accents, is about the nicest set of travel pouches we’ve come across. You’ll get (1) at 10" x 7", (1) at 12" x 8", and (1) at 14" x 10", each with a durable poly exterior, waterproof silver lining and sturdy oversized red zipper. Each bag has a grommeted hole in one corner so you can store them on the included 2” dia ring. The uses are so obvious and endless it’s not even worth mentioning a few of them.

These perfect little clear-plastic canisters have snug pull-off tops. They fit into die-cut circles in a foam pad for display or shipping, with the cut-out foam placed inside the canisters. The black or white foam makes them ideal for safe storage and artful display of individual coins, seeds, insects, stones (precious, semi-precious, or gall-), baby teeth, locks of hair, or any number of tiny treasures. Or toss the foam and store small amounts of anything that doesn't need a screw top. (50) canisters at 1-1/4" dia x 11/16" deep come per tray so you have lots of cannistering in your near future.

Well, that's what the manufacturer says, but the bag doesn't say anything, and we're pretty confident it doesn't know if you use it for basketball, picnics, or even the dreaded Pilates. Measures 20" x 15" x 8" in soft polyester with a removable interior zippered pouch, open front pocket, and a handle attached to double straps that you could slide a yoga mat into if you had a yoga mat. Comes in assorted colors, and we'll pick one that'll match your eyes. Cheap at four times the price.

By all means—spritz. This classic plastic spritzer/sprayer bottle is clear, holds (1) fluid oz, and has a black spritzer plunger with nice action. Also has a clear snap-on cap. Bottle stands 4-1/4" tall overall x 1" dia. Make your own perfume or air freshener, or do something artsy. You’ll get (8) of them.

It just ain't gonna spill the beads. Or the fishhooks, or screws, or whatever you're storing in the 7-1/2" x 5" x 1-1/2" deep Store-in-It box. The translucent-plastic box with (1) 3-1/2" x 1-1/4" and (10) 1-3/4" x 1-1/2" compartments has a hinged lid that not only snaps shut, it has an extra little security latch. Rounded bottoms in the compartments make it easy to pluck out even the smallest items.

Both spellings are acceptable, it turns out, but duffle is a British corruption of our duffel, so pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and spell it “duffel” like an American. Our duffel is polyester with black handles and an adjustable and removable black shoulder strap. Measures 18” long x an 11” dia cylinder, and has black canvas strap handles on both ends for your hanging and toting convenience. Everybody needs a good duffel, even the Brits. Comes in Red (a favorite of the Brits), or Blue (a close second). We'll pick which you get because thats how surplus is.

These watertight aluminum screw-top canisters are gasketed, lined in nylon and come with a 1" slip ring to attach to whatever. Measure just over 2-1/2" tall x 1-1/8" dia, so they're suitable for a lot of pills or any number other things you need to keep dry or safe. We'll pick one in black, red, gold, blue or green.

Let’s say you don’t need a full-on, heavy-duty tool bag but you do need something to hold your smaller hobby tools. In that case, you’d need this super-nice, zippered tool-type bag. Measures 14" x 9-1/2" x 3", and has a triangular shape as it tapers from the 3" base to flat at the top zipper. Looks kind of like a small briefcase, or, more accurately, an attache. Has more than (15) elastic straps to hold things like pliers, tweezers, small screwdrivers and the like. In bad-to-the-bone black to let the world know you’re serious about tool storage and totage, even if they’re small tools.

Who’s an old bag? Watch your mouth. What we have around here are young plastic bags with clear complexions and tight zipper closures. Sizes range from itty bitty to sizable and spacious, so be sure to stock up on all of them! Each of the bags are 2 mils. Our each is a bag of 100 bags. Just pick the size you like! Please note that the exact size can vary, usually smaller, due to the manufacturing process.

Rejoice, we have finally found a source of reasonably priced borosilicate lab glassware. This is the kind of glass in the trade marked Pyrex(tm) and Kimax(tm) labware. The stuff you can put right over the flame of the Bunsen burner, or directly onto the hot plate. This stuff is imported from China, and is considered student grade, which is good enough for anything but the most exotic applications. We have beakers, test tubes, graduated cylinders and flasks. Compare the prices below and you will see that they are around half the U.S. equivalent. Call us for larger quantity prices.

Please Note: Physical sizes may vary slightly due to vendor and Mfg changes. Call or email for more info. 

You can store a plethora and a half of things in this staggeringly cute set of a dozen screw-top clear plastic canisters, 1-1/4" dia x 3/4" deep, that fit perfectly inside this 6-3/8" x 4-3/8" x 1" deep clear plastic lidded box. How they got those circles in a rectangle is a Euclidean mystery.

Laundry stinks. It’s also a job we dislike. But back to that stench. This white mesh bag, approx 18" x 12", has a way of dispersing the stinkiness of our laundry, which makes the whole job less stinky in more ways than one. Has a drawstring with a ball stopper. Made of polyester, which means it’s strong enough to hold a big load of clothing or beach toys, shoes (which can also be stinky in our experience), or sports equipment.

This isn't a book, but it's definitely book-ish. Looks like a leather-bound volume from the Bodleian but it's just a little wooden box, approx 8-1/2" x 5" x 2" (7" x 3-7/8" x 1-5/8" inside) that's perfect for stashing the jewels, cash, or whatever you need to stash in plain sight on the shelves.

These red satin-finish zipper bags have a vinyl interior and measure 20” long x 10” tall x 4” wide when you open the gusset on the bottom. Sort of the proportions of a giant pencil holder. Made for some specific purpose that nobody has shared with us, but think giant clutch bags, travel organizers, dressy briefcases or cash deposit bags to impress your bank. 

Just like (pretty much) the old steel ammo can GIs carried, and then carried home to their garage workshops, but in olive drab or black plastic, which doesn’t rust. Measures 11" x 7" x 5" with a gasketed flip-up lid, 3” latch and a 5-1/4” folding handle on top. Weighs in at a little over a pound.

Please Note: Our current stock is black and not sure when olive drab will be back.

Our aluminum canisters with clear glass pull–off lids are cool. The canisters are aluminum–colored, a set of (20) 1–1/4” dia x 3/4” deep in a 6–1/2” x 5–1/4” x 7/8” lightweight aluminum box with a hinged lid. When the box is shut, a layer of foam padding inside the lid presses down on the canisters, keeping them securely closed.
