My google-fu is weak today. I’m looking for a low profile (6-8 inches tall) storage box that has configurable sections in a largish size, say 2 feet by 3 feet. I’m imagining something like a plastic bin with a lid that you might buy for storing things under your bed; except I want to be able to configure compartments, or dividers in it for customized storage separation. I’m not really finding anything like that online. I feel like something like that must exist somewhere. Help me? ---

Can you just get the container and buy [drawer organizers](http://organize.com/storage-drawer-organizers.html) separately to fit? ---

Have you tried [uline.com](http://uline.com)? They have the largest selection of boxes and storage-related items that I know of. Check the Shelving, Bins & Storage category. ---

That was actually more or less my original idea. The problem is that I don’t want small compartments. I need, for example a compartment that is about 8-10 inches wide by 24 - 30 inches long. I need another compartment 10 by 10 or 12 x 12 inches. ---

[Rubbermaid](http://www.rubbermaid.com/Pages/Home.aspx) has lots of container sizes, but I’m not seeing dividers to use inside them. Is there some reason the different sized things need to be in the same box? ---

Is there some reason the different sized things need to be in the same box? I ended up buying different sizes of Rubbermaid boxes. The reason I wanted them in one box is for convenience. How easy would it be to travel with a suitcase that was broken into its individual parts and pockets.
