They look just like the Sheffield ones I bought. Turns out "Great Neck Saw" is "... the largest privately owned tool manufacturer in the United States. The company sells tools under the Great Neck, Sheffield, OEM, GreatLite, Mayes, and Buck Bros. ... as well as private label brands such as Husky and Kobalt." (From Wiki).
I consider these pretty clean/functional, great value at this price. These plastic ones get most of their strength from the ribbing/crating, so the interior dimensions are less than the steel version.
The steel "cans" (GI-surplus) cost at least 2.5x more, have a funky smell (gooey weather-strip?) with sharp stamp-steel edges, few colors and would last a lifetime. These are domesticated, where a pink one won't be out of place, and a red one can be medical supplies or "grab this first".

Best I can do was advice from a 3D forum. Amazon no longer stocks, but was 6x for $26 back in October. eBay has them for more:

For short-term storage, or to/from nice dry range, these should be okay under 11 lbs of ammo per box, in a dryer climate, and not trekking in mud/water. In the rain, I might go under 7 lbs per box (lid bowing under more weight will compromise the light-compression sealing). If you have a cheap filler adhesive like bondo or expired construction glue, filling the voids in the lid can help stiffen.
You can always DIY your own gasketing (then test it), but make sure the gasket-maker's solvent is safe on plastics and if you need a release layer (you want a thicker/compliant gasket, not a glue). I would try Honda-Bond or this one claims "sensor-safe":

... but ultimately, it comes down to the limits of the closing mechanism.
Else for long-term or in humid / harsh climate, I would double-bag in vacuum sealed pouches (FoodSaver) with a desiccant pack inside, and/or store in standard steel GI-can (seal still gooey and its lever still difficult to close -i.e., high compression seal). fyi, some manufacturers sell ammo in hermetically sealed pouches (Sellier & Bellot seals over their boxes, others use foil pouches). No need to pay for that, but if you are buying old/vintage surplus ammo, you _want that seal intact (then buy it, random-sample test it).

The no-name polymer pouch types - especially if the middle has a hint of a bulge- go into a metal container with a hard lid (if they still pass a fast drain/charge cycle- while the battery is in a safe place). I'm too cheap to buy flammable-safety cans, so I dispose of bulging lipos.
FYI, disposal of (bulging) Lipos are considered HHW (Household Hazardous Waste), which are handled differently depending on your city's garbage services contract agreements. call2recycle.org locations will not accept these types of batteries. I saw in the EU, they submerge lipos in saltwater to discharge, or some hobby stores take them back (EU life-cycle / EOL programs)
