Qt containers for ink mixing

[XG Print]

I would like to clean up our ink storage area and get a little better organized. Where is the best place to buy the qt containers with lids. I think I would like the clear ones unless someone thinks something else is better. We are about to start mixing in house so I want to keep the costs low but have a decent container. Also some containers to mix the discharge colors in that can be tossed afterwards would be nice too. I will be mixing water base and also plastisol and storing in the containers. Thanks for your help.

go to a restaurant supply store.  We get quart containers and lids for $65 for 500 each.

Cheap and easy to toss once you are done with them.  Our local place is called Cash and Carry, but I think that just a California spot...

I know you said qt containers but I really like the 1/2 gallon containers like the link I posted. I think they look nice and clean sitting on the shelf too.

I really like these. Maybe not cheap, but you get what you pay for. They hold up very well after repeated use.

We get our from Restaurant Depot, which happens to be 1/2 block from our shop.

We use these now, but I've tried 5 other brands of the same product.  These are less brittle and don't crack as easily as all the ones from Amazon.  They will shatter if you hit them hard enough but some of the Amazon ones will crack if you look at them wrong.
