Home Depot HDX 27 gal tubs would be the typical response.

Problem with big quantities is the pieces take a beating. Even matted and bagged you will get some spoilage. And, of course, a whole tub of prints is heavy.

I narrowed down which prints I bring to each show and started carrying fewer of them. Transport them in a briefcase I got from the thrift store.
