University Products has artifact storage boxes with clear lids.
We have a Civil War program where we use some artifacts and for the tiny ones that can be damaged we put it in that on a bed of batting and muslin, then tape down the cover. Same thing in the mansion -- we have pieces of the original wallpaper on plaster, so very delicate -- that lets us set it out for people to look at without worrying about handling.
