Putting newspaper between the layers in a box helps keep them in order. I don't worry about it when taking the keys to the shop, but I like to have them in order when returning to the customer's home. If I sell a key job in the field and I don't have a box, I'll just ask the customer for an old style paper grocery bag. Lay the bag sideways and slip the keys in. It's the perfect size, one bag holds all keys. Always take the keyframe if you can get it out without too much trouble to make sure keys fit and spacing is good. I like to minimize the work (and frustration) in the customer's home.

That way, they don't get out of order. When I first started I just used to put them in a box, but soon found out that getting them in order each time, was a waste of time.
