If one is mounting in glass capillaries, we used to put them in a box of blue tips (1000 ul pipetteman tips). Just put a small rolled up wad of kimwipe down in the bottom, so that the capillary does not jam itself down in the narrowing of the tip point. Every capillary gets its own tip and one can write with a Sharpie on the tip to label the capillary within it. The tip box top kept them all in their separate individual tips when travelling.
