Thanks for all the suggestions. It turns out that "ATA case" is the
best search term. I am actually transporting 14-liter tins (about
9x9x14") of good olive oil back from a trip from Greece, and we end
up doing this every year. In the past, the guy who sold the tins
would nail together a single-use packing crate from random bits of
lumber. (If you watch the baggage carousel in JFK for a flight from
Greece, you will usually see a couple of these boxes going by.)
