Hi Matthew

There's a typical 10*SFP tray and less common 20* tray. Flexoptix,
Fiberstore and others retail these (as well as use them to protect
their transceivers in transit) or AliBaba gives lots of hits.  Use a
tray per transceiver part number and keep them vertical in an
appropriately-sized box. If you have a lot of transceivers then use
distinct boxes for SMF/MMF, 1G/10G/40G/100G, etc.  If you're careful in
your tray choice then the trays will also hold 4*XFP, 4*QSFP, etc.
Using a small post-it note *on the inside* of the transparent cover is
a convenient way to label the tray with the part number of the SFPs
inside.

Best wishes, glen
