What ever you put it in, it has to be a static free container.

And how does one determine this?

Post in WTB reloading section for anyone who has an empty powder bottle that you can hopefully pick up locally. Powder bottles are HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). Black and opaque container keeps the sun/light off the powder.

Strange post for a boolit casting forum?

I got some HP-38 that came in a cardboard box and plastic bag. Going to dump it into my empty 4# W231 bottles when the time comes.

Don't use a clear container. Ultra violet light can damage the powder. There is a reason it is in opaque containers. Why move it from the card box box and plastic bag? I have used those for years. Simply scoop out what you need into your powder measure.

As roadcarver mentioned, post where you live. You may be able to get some free powder containers.

If you are North of Toronto I have a couple of 1lb Hodgdon powder bottles you can have.

Take the plastic container and wash it with some dish soap and let it (air) dry without any manual towel drying.
It should be good to go after that.
Same for the powder funnel if you are loading one by each.

Just curious as to what the issue is with leaving it as it is? It's good enough for the distributor to store it like that and ship it like that. We always tell our PAL/RPAL classes that they should keep their ammo and reloading components in the packaging it's shipped in. If it's just that you don't like it in the box, then as suggested, some old powder containers (properly labelled with what you're putting in it) should be easy to accumulate simply by asking around.
