Who was it that figured out you can put clips on shoeboxes? What size would you use on a 106 qt. sterilite? What type/brand?

You said "Those are Four Paws brand clips for the screen tops used on aquariums.The ones pictured are for 55gal. tanks.They are upside down.You can use smaller ones on the smaller boxes."

What size tub is that on? What size would you use for a 106 qt. sterilite?

Another option is to use the spring steel binder clips that are available at your local stationary store. Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, etc. They have a black body with ACCO stamped in it. There are two finger levers that are chrome to press and open the clamp. I have used these in the past with rubbermaid and sterilite boxes. I place two on each long edge and just rely on the lock or clip type handles to hold on the short ends. The steel clips are incredibly strong and easily hold the lip of the boxes closed. Easy to find and very inexpensive.
