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.

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?
