Thanks Suzanne!
Very helpful. I snipped it but I have one question. I have found the 5561
and other boxes to be not all that strong. I use a razor to slice the
display window cardboard off so the tape doesn't rip the cardboard and
weaken it, then I use a razor to slice the back of the lid off but I stlll
get deformation.
Did you reinforce these boxes with tape at the corners? As soon as I grasp
one by a single corner, if it has any sort of load, the glue at the bottom
that holds the inner part of the cardboard to the bottom separates and the
box is worthhless. Am I just unlucky? (the ones I was using were 4561s which
are bigger than 5561s)

| This is a tray system I use for LEGO building at home sometimes. Whether or not this method would work for you, of course depends on the type of building you do and how you like to work, etc. But I thought it may be of interest to some people whose (...)
