Even worse, many of my SMT parts are so small that the labeling on them 
is pretty meaningless--- if there is any at all.  If a box of parts were 
to drop open, you'd be better off sweeping the whole pile into the trash 
and starting over!

I did find these once:  http://t-rexelectronics.com/7.html

Seems great for cut tapes, at least. Where did you get your boxes?

My wife has suggested mini-scrapbook albums, whose page folders are 
about the same size as the small static-safe bags that Mouser ships in.

Plano makes some small boxes with configurable compartments, but I've 
found that their dividers don't seat tightly enough to keep small SMT 
parts from passing underneath them.  And I worry about static.
