A wooden box is the right answer when a carton is simply not tough enough. The rigid walls take impacts without collapsing, the lid can be screwed or nailed down, and the whole box can be strapped and stacked. Because it is reusable, it works well for parts that travel back and forth between a workshop and a site, and it can be lined with foam for delicate contents or left plain for tools and hardware.
