Disposable food savers from the grocery store, or perhaps the blue electrical boxes you get at home depot.  They come with cover plates you can get to seal it up.  Not sure if those would be too big though.

Subject: {LVL1} cheap plastic enclosure

Ok, I know there are many followers of the "Cult of the Altoids Tin" but I'm looking for project boxes made of plastic. I use to "Ice Breakers Sours Gum" that came in the rectangular box with rounded edges, but I can't seem to find that style box for the product anymore. I'm not oppose to using purpose built project boxes, but I'd need a cheap source. Ideas?

Thanks,
Adrian

I like wooden cigar boxes and also small wooden boxes from Michaels.  Also try Sucrets boxes in the pharmacy - just in time for the cold and flu season!  They are plastic!

Although I'm mostly collecting parts for my mad hacker days to come, I
like hit thrift stores up for cheap toys. Sometimes you get enclosures
as well as reusable parts.

Not good for quantity of the same enclosure but the prices are usually
pretty good.
