Hi Terry,
I use the 3700 series boxes myself, and with Ralphs special modifcation tool,

around them and still seal. I am not sure of those exact counts and the totes
are in the basement and the legos all upstairs. I would think the two sided box

models.( turning one over to get to other parts and the top not being latched
?) heehee you did say 7th and 8th grade , right ?
Congrats on having a great class to teach!
