The transparent Glad-Ware Soup/Salad containers make excellent storage boxes for anything from buttons to screws or staples or nails. They have a solid lip around the top, and they slide like drawers if you use the louvered panels from the backs of old fridges as dividing walls between stacks of them.
You can of course make the side and dividing walls from wood or a couple of layers of strong cardboard and just cut grooves into them for the container lips to slide in. That way you can take one container from the bottom without knocking the whole stack over.
Those Soup/Salad containers are about $2 for five and are quite durable, as long as you don't step on them.
