Where do you store your handloads?

I'm having trouble finding a location to store all of my handloads.

I bought a green case that holds 100 of them from WSS but it's not lockable and it's weird dimensions make is hard to fit in a ammo can that does lock as well, they take up too much spare in my large ammo cabinet for what they hold.

Is there anywhere that sells cardboard boxes that hold ammo in a square and compact manner? Do I have to buy a bunch of factory ammo just to get that boxes it comes in?

Is there some better way to store your handloads?
 
^^^ Oh nice. The stuff they have at CanadaAmmo is much nicer than what's available locally here. I think I'll place a big order soon!
 
Buy large ZIP-lock (freezer type?) bags and fill each with 250 to 500rds of pistol ammo; they will fit in most every (ammo) box. They are re-useable too.
Use good MTM boxes or so for hunting or precision shooting ammo.

I just re-use cardboad boxes I get my pistol bullets in (1K bullets in box), to fill with 500rds of ammo and then seal them till I use them.
 
50 or 100 round MTM, Caseguard, RCBS ammo cases, then stuff them in this, with two padlocks to secure from unauthorized hands. Must weigh 200 lbs when full.

They are made by "Plano" and you can pick them up at Home Depot. All aluminum and lockable. Come with deviders which can be removed.
Can chain them to the floor or wall if you feel the need.

Buy boxes that hold 20 rounds?

Storage

Don't really understand your question??
If its how to lock your reloads away from people ?
I put a lock on reloading room door?

If its how to package reloads
I box them in ammo boxes I pick up at the range , MTM's etc I always check every round that I package, I put reloading info on boxes as well as date I made them. Don't personally like them in bags or bulk boxed.

Eg

6.2 gr SR 4756 win LPP
230 gr Campro RNP
