Attached Lid Hard Plastic Storage Box Recommendations?

[CHuDWah]

Any recommendation of plastic storage boxes for my garage? Requirements are:

No more than 12" tall and 18" wide to fit my shelves - length can vary

Harder opaque plastic, rather than the thinner transparent semi-flexible kind

Hinged lids

Don't have to be waterproof - just tight enough to keep out most bugs, dust, etc

I’ve used ones I get at hd. Black with yellow lid that snaps on. Heavy duty. Not sure on sizing though. Unless you are in and out of them a lot I would not get hinged tops

Look at the Akro-Mils containers. These are very sturdy & usually used by industries for storage/delivery. They're often available on amazon in packs of 6, but aren't cheap

I can vouch for the Acro-Mils product.

I have had about 100 of the grey Acro-Mills that have been through at least 6 moves over the last 20 years and except for a couple of cracked lids because of over stacking too much weight on top of them they are as good as the day I bought them.

The reason I like hinged tops is the snap on lids always seem to disappear.

Same style as mentioned by the others-

Some good recommendations, but not cheap... boxes under 12" are harder to find and far less useful. Any possibility of reconfiguring at least part of your shelves?

I did something similar in my garage last winter, but I basically rebuilt my shelves around the dimensions of the "standard" flip top tubs available about anywhere cheap. I've only broken one, and that was pretty egregious misuse.
