Trying to find a source for empty end mill tubes (¼" and ⅛" holding) - Anyone have a cheap source? Found this, but not as cheap as I expected (50 for $30).
Yikes,
On AliExpress you could probably get them with cutters in at that price.
There do seem to be packaging specialists who sell them direct, these guys are UK with much better pricing, a box of 200 for £22, but I’d expect to find an equivalent in the US.

Might have to buy bulk.
Looks like they have a variety of storage solutions.

For the 1/8" shaft micro end mills, I use these cases that hold 10 bits and use a label maker to put the bit info on the corner of the case.
For the 3/16", 1/4", 4mm and 6mm shank bits I have, I was going to go for the “Grip Pak” style from Beckett. Those are nice because you can buy in quantities as low as 20. I was going to buy a bunch of the bases in those sizes, and then buy the caps in 2.5", 3.0" and 3.5" lengths to mix and match, since I have stub bits and long bits, and a nice mix of lengths and shank diameters would work great for me.
