Try a trip to your super walmart.....the "tupperware-like" plastic boxes have handles, hinges, latches, and are "nest-able". Cost? Less than $10, try it, I really like mine. I did let them sit in the direct Sun a couple of days to degas the plastic.
Works for me,

Which gets us back to my original question. In your terms, does anyone know where to obtain a good "palet" that could hold 50 or so micromount boxes at one time? It would be nice if these could stack into a standard size container (picture a picnic basket with palets of micromounted meteorites being carried by Dorothy on a trip across Oz)?
Thank you

1) Putting the stone /iron into a ziplock plastic bag with a piece of VCI paper, does the paper then emit some kind of protection onto the
stone/iron
?
2)Would there be any idea to first treating the specimen with VCI and then store it in a membranebox ?
I also want to say that........ Meteorites would rust also becouse they are not polished and not good heated before cuting or polishing and if they not rust now, they can rust in near future becouse they are not cleaned/protected sufficient.
There is also problem how we want show ours collection. Storing in zip-bags is ugly, make mess and its not easy to show our specimens. Membrane boxes are fine, becouse You can see specimen from both sides, but they are more expensive and not have palets to hold more boxes in one place. Its verry difficult to have order if You have 50 small boxes stored somewhere. F.e. small, 1" membrane boxes fit to palets from my small and medium acrylic boxes, becouse size it near the same.
