One place to check for such storage boxes would be Uline:

Another may be, University Products. They are very good for Museum
storage materials. https://www.universityproducts.com/

Some are starting to unravel, though fortunately they were almost all already digitized. My main concern is giving them individual housing so the wires do not tangle with others.

I imagined I might find 3" reel-to-reel tape boxes at Hollinger or Gaylord, but they only go down to 7". The closest possibly suitable thing I can find is microfilm storage boxes, but those are also slightly bigger (3.75" diameter).
