Well, you can scratch US Recording off of this list. I bought everything they had and the manufacturer they were using is no longer in business.

Hi Brandon,
Are you by chance talking about the 10.5" setup boxes:

http://usrecordingmedia.com/quwhsebofor1.html

For what it's worth, the high price of $179.99/10, seems to be the cost
of buying 50 such boxes - not for just 10, since it's a bundle of 10
five-packs. More than $3, each, but with removable hub support and neutral
pH factor.
The USRM box seems to be a bit cheaper than the Archivcarton für Spulen
sold at darklab:

USRM also under-cuts the price of those at Family Archives, fwiw:

https://www.familyarchives.com/products/Reel%252dTo%252dReel-Boxes.html

For $90, you could buy 100 of these no-hub-support, not quite
right-sized Uline mailers:

Good luck,
Andrew
