Looking for a source of small plastic vials or bottles that has a cap with a loop that would allow hanging on a peg board peg. Large enough to hold bushing sets with 4 bushings

Thanks for any help

I picked up a box of these in purple https://www.amazon.com/MT-Products-...argid=aud-801738734305:pla-592087487457&psc=1 on an Amazon Warehouse Deal. Just about have my label spreadsheet ready to print. They will in a Masonite rack once i bring my new (old office furniture) cabinets in the basement. Would be tough to hang, but i'm kind of migrating away from pegboard for pen hardware--great for tools though!!

I use sewing bobbin boxes I get from Joanne's. They hold multiple sets of bushings and you can take the label off the package the bushings come in and tape them to the box. I have eight of them in my turning bench drawer and the foot print is small, not a lot of wasted space.
 
I keep all pen kits in plastic shoe boxes, one box per kit, inside will be the bushings, the kits, drill bit, instructions and any notes about the kit. Usually keep the bushings tied together with a safety pin.
 
I've used the free Walgreens drug, film canisters that are from 35mm film. They'll give you these, all you have to do is ask.
 
I use the Harbor Freight box as well. I number each box and have a chart with the kit and number of the bushings. Each little box has a clasp so if you spill the large box the small boxes will keep the bushing in tact. I numbered the small boxes rather than trying to right the name of the kit on a small space.
 
To store my bushings I use 53 mm watch makers cases purchased from Lee Valley. The lay flat in one my drawers in a tool box near the lathe.
