My apologies if this has been suggested before, but I would love to see systainers with see-through sides (tops and bottoms can stay as is) so you can see what's inside.  I know about the labels, but I would be more inclined to use systainers for non-festool tools if they had an option for transparent sides.

I've seen black, white, and colored ABS plastic in sheets with a haircell texture, but I've never seen clear - although I think it is made. Just not sure it would be truly crystal clear, or even clear enough to see through easily. Maybe a plastics guy can answer your question.

The problem is that the vast majority of clear plastics are by there nature brittle, so not ideal for toolboxes.

The ones that are clear but aren't brittle can't be moulded in the same way, and also tend to scratch easily due to being softer.
