Everything Ed said; Check. I used 18 egg, egg cartons to hold parts and cut card stock in strips, labelled them according to small part & then taped them in the individual egg holders with those parts in the egg "socket". Didn't knock over like cups would have and kept everything separate till the end. No spare parts when I was done.
