Reusable packing crates

Having trouble locating these.

What I'm after is a crate for carrying up to 20kg of small items. They're not breakable, similar in size to a paperback book, so holding up to 80 pieces. It's for shipping to a packing company and getting back to me.

The packing company are, ironically, bad at packing boxes, so wanted something that won't split in transit and is easy to move about. I was thinking around £20 would be the right price, could do with about 6 to start with.

    I should add that I see some wooden ones on Ebay but was after a plastic type.

    Looks like I was looking in the wrong place.

    I just found these

    I haven't ordered them yet. I'd actually prefer something that was a bit more securable (ie not quite so easy to open on top) but they'd do for now.

    The trade name for these is Totes :)

    Be a little careful, as a bunch of those on eBay will state 'Property Of' (Small grey ones like those linked may well be Menzies) , and I suspect the original supplier might well be technically able to come back after you for those....

    Most of these will have the facility to seal at the ends using cable ties- Is that any good to you?

    Thanks. Cable tying sounds good. I've got a load of Royal Mail ones that I never use!
