   try tomato boxes used by produce companies for deliveries to grocery stores   
   and restaurants. they come with lids and have handle holes in the sides. the   
   boxes for 6x6 tomatoes work perfectly. only thing is: don't use any that   
   have mushy tomato guts in them. look only for the clean ones :)
