General discussion / Re: Storage Container Question
I store my components in Flex-A-Top FT-4 containers. I'll put a label on the top describing the part, and then wrap the sticker that Digi-Key sends (if I got them from Digi-key) around the part so I know what to reorder. Not ESD safe, but very convenient. I used to be able to find them at the Container Store, but they stopped carrying them- I ended up buying a box full of them from US Plastics.

I've used the boxes like people describe above to keep them- They were a little short so they would fall over in the box, so a bit of foam I found in some packing material (flat strips) covered the bottom, and they don't fall over. 

I like the individual container style as I will pull out the boxes to the bench of the parts I need. I can sort them as I want in the box- and since the positions aren't fixed, if I add a new value in between, re-ordering them is pretty easy. Of course, sorting them is pretty important if you ever want to find the part again. Tweezers are necessary to pull the small parts out.
