Anyone know of similar storage boxes that are ESD safe?

QUESTION:

So I've been looking for an efficient way to store lots of electronic components in my home lab...
My sister is into crafting and happened to have a magazine on beading around (making jewelry and other things from beads) and I happened to see an ad for storage boxes that contain lots of little storage boxes. It is meant for beads, but I thought that they would be good for storage of small parts. The problem is that, I assume, they are not ESD safe. So it would only be for things like resistors, caps, etc.
And they are very inexpensive compared to other similar storage boxes I've seen.

ANSWER:

Standard coin envelopes are *not* specified as being anti-static. And envelopes are rather inconvenient for storage of a fair number of parts, and leave labelling and sorting a bit messy for easy readability and access. Worst case comes to worst, one could use standard plastic drawer sets and line every drawer/bin with aluminum foil.
