Cutter storage.
I spotted these trays in a Portuguese supermarket. They are designed for making frozen ice sticks to put in cocktails. They are quite sturdy and made from polypropylene with overall dimensions of 260 x 110 x 20 mm and they cost 1€ each. They have 12 cavities, each about 95 mm long and circa 20 mm wide at the upper surface. I thought they would be ideal for storing milling cutters.
The bar code label indicates that they were made in Brazil.
I have not seen anything quite like them in the UK but I shall keep my eye open from now on

This shows two of the trays filled with cutters. The largest cutters have 12 mm shanks and the smallest have 6 mm shanks
These trays are an ideal solution for storing cutters.
