I just thought I'd share that I just received a shipment of containers to mix ore store ink in. I purchased quart and 2 1/2 quart containers with lids at a much better price than what I was paying "like 1/2 the price I was paying. They are more than sturdy enough plus they are clear. Like I said some may already know this but I thought I'd share the link to the paint store.

even cheaper , go to a restaurant/ paper supply house and buy Deli containers for like ยข15 each +lids , they work well with ink and can be stacked there also clear so you can identify ink quick.
I usually by 250, 500 and 1000 ml size (pint/ 1/2 qrt and art size)

Or my way, gelato containers though they require cleaning before use!

I find those types and the deli style cups to be to thin for my plastisol storage tastes. they tend to crack over time and the lids are to thin to stack for long periods of time. I like the heavier quarts cups as they last for years and the lid seals better and allows 3+ stacking.
Waterbase inks i use the deli cups from smart and final, wash after use and use over again.

true , there are 2 versions I think , ones with the cheap thin "pop lid" type lid and slightly heavier ones with a proper snap lid, only stack 2 high here though
