Default Looking for a certain plastic container....please help

I'm looking for just a plastic box type container that will hold all of my PL pocket pages. I saw a video where she used 12x12 card dividers (I think she just used the cardboard that comes with the pocket pages) and then separated the pocket pages by type. She used a box from the container store but we don't have any around here. I only have Michaels.

On a whim I picked up a plastic storage container at Walmart yesterday. The dimensions said it was 14wide x 12high x I think 8wide or something like that. Big enough to fit the 12x12 cardboard inserts. Well low and behold, the box didn't fit the inserts.


Can someone point me in the direction of a box that I can find at Michaels that would work? Thanks

These aren't from Michael's but I know they are large enough to hold 12 x 12 CS. I have mine divided further (like the two end pictures) and have my papers shelved that way. HTH

Office Depot/Office Max sell some plastic boxes called "Really Useful Boxes". You may google that name and see if you can find them online. They do make a box that holds scrapbook paper as I have bought one. They are not real big, the only draw back on them. Here's the one I bought...Really Useful Boxes Plastic Storage Box 25 Liters With 5 Hanging Files 14 14 H x 10 W x 15 34 D Clear by Office Depot & OfficeMax

I think Michael's carries one like this, which fits 12 x 12:

Look in the jewelry section of Michael's. I bought six of them years ago for all the little items. They are 7" X 10" and each plastic container has 18 sections, perfect for all those "little things."

I use these boxes...
ArtBin Super Satchel Single Compartment - Walmart.com
...because I get them for quilt squares in progress. I have to have a 12.5x12.5 minimum on the inside. They're bigger than that. They're top-quality. I was afraid that some of the other brands might be too small. These are for flat storage, rather than upright like everyone else has referenced so far.

Just FYI-you can order online from the Container Store....or maybe at least print out what you are looking for or share a link to it that we can work off?

always check walmart first for anything; you can pick up from store; and don't even have to go down the aisles to find it. it waits for you to pick up
