I like to use those semi-disposable (meh. recyclable) tupperware-like
containers that are used for storing single servings of left-overs.
They're transparent enough to see what board, cables, and power adapters
are inside.  They take a sharpie well for labeling, and they're
stackable.  Throw a desiccant from a previous shipment in there and you
have long term storage.

Not that I'm supporting a single brand, but this [1] is what I'm talking
about.
