Default storing apples

The message
from "Helen Hartley" contains these words:

Apple storage racks are extremely expensive.


Does anyone know where you can get:


1. cheap stackable (breathable) boxes or similar for storing one layer of
apples in?


Greengrocer. Especially the boxes apples come in - you get a papier
maché tray.

Otherwise, tomato boxes, and screw up pages of newsprint to separate the
apples. They shouldn't touch.

and
2. card storage cells (fan out from flat to have one hole per apple, to
prevent neighbouring apples rotting each other)?


Again, those papier maché trays do the job.
