I mean in rows standing up? If so are there any on eBay I am not sure what to search for exactly. I have seen some collectors here than showed some but I am not sure if they are available for sale online or they simply made their own boxes.

yes, plastic or cardboard?
I got a good selection with this search ->whitman 2x2 box
Cardboard like a long box. I searched whitman 2 by 2 brings up all sorts of game boxes on eBay. Does anyone have a link for eBay for the kind of box I am looking for?

They should fit into old time photography 35mm slide boxes. I'm not sure if they are still made.
I got this from coin world-vinyl covered cardboard
Do you have a link? And these have no PVC correct?

What is vinyl in PVC?
Vinyl is commonly used as a shorthand name for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic as used in a range of products from flooring to siding to wall covering. Most commonly, when a product is referred to as “vinyl,” it is comprised primarily of PVC.

Are there any coin dealers that sell such boxes on their websites?

google -coin world 2 x 2 storage box
Places that sell the 2x2s often give you the red box that they come in if you buy enough.
I think the covering is actually paper. Not sure if it's all acid free, but the coins should be well-sealed in the 2x2s.
Archival boxes lined with Intercept.
Q30 - holds ~ 100 2x2 holders.
Q100 - holds ~ 300 2x2 holders.

I've got one of these too and its worked just fine so far. Only had it for a few months though as i only recently switched from sleeve books to 2x2s.
Try Wizard coin supply or Brent-Krueger - they should have them - typically in red like the one posted above.
Thanks

For what it's worth I've always used the boxes that player piano music rolls came in. It's a perfect fit.
They were also made in plastic. I used one for coins for many years.
I will stay away from plastics.

Hard plastic boxes are less likely to be a problem than cheap cardboard. Cheap cardboard will tone coins. Hard, non-PVC, plastic is generally more inert.
P.S. per the other thread, Mylar is a "plastic". So are PCGS slabs. You're obsessing over PVC. It's the "archival" quality of the materials not paper vs plastic. High sulfur or acidic cardboard is not archival.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
The plastic ones from years ago were hard plastic and did not contain PVC.
If cardboard suffices this is a good price.
I use these too.
Transline Supply in CA sells them by the case lot (ignore the wholesale only, they've taken my retail orders several times).
