If you want something a little sturdier, then consider some
refrigerator ice cube trays.
Most of the egg cartons I see in the grocery stores these days are made
from foam material. These used to be made from a heavier duty
cardboard material. Depending on how many parts are in the carton and
their weight, you could pick up the tray, have a break, and then have
parts spilled everywhere.
The ice cube trays I have seen recently are made from plastic. And,
they used to make the ice cube trays from aluminum, which were very
robust. Check your neighborhood yard/garage sales and the local thrift
stores. You might luck up and find an aluminum version.
Still waiting for that e-mail from Lisa....

Subject: [Elecraft] Egg Crates
I know many have suggested using egg crates as
parts containers for Elecraft kits but here's a hint that may be
of help to some. Rather than using the 1 dozen egg crates
found at your local supermarket, ask your favorite restaurant
for a few of the larger size they use for eggs in bulk. These
have 6X5 compartments in a 12"X12" format. One should be
sufficient for the ~30 different types of hardware in the K3 but
the price is right (free) so you might pick up a few more for
more complex Elecraft kits. 3 of them nest very compactly
in a 12"X12"X2.5" space when empty.
