Ziplock bags are great for larger things, but can be torn up by screws and
pointy bits, especially as they get bounced around in boxes. Once they
have a hole in them, your parts may as well be loose, because they're
going to fall out or snag or something. Go to a Wal-Mart photo-finishing
counter and ask to pick through their discarded film canisters. Take as
many clear ones as you can get. Each canister will hold the small parts of
almost every component on an Alpine. There were only a couple cases where
I needed more than one.
