I've never been able to find something similar in France, despite my numerous attempts to find one...

Thats really cool, my eyes are always drawn to that in that scene and have always wondered if it came from a genuine product.
Maybe you could try a Chinese printing firm, local not Chna, and they could do some adhesive lables. _________________ Formerly offworld66 |

I remember seing those years ago, but not in many years. Like Fred I have been looking for a source as well for a long time now. Great find. Now we just need to get some eyes to go with it.

I used to see these containers all the time when I was a kid. They were sold as basic storage containers. Being styrene, they broke pretty easy so im guessing the more flexible plastic solutions replaced them.
Last December, while visiting NYC in Tribecca, I ran across a store called Plastic world. They had them in all sizes and colors. Then, a light bulb went off, being that this is a general plastics store, the chances of them being everywhere are great. As it turns out, I was right. My local plastic store called Tapp Plastics had them online to order. I went to the store to confirm the colors and sizes. Mine is the biggest they make in that color and looks to be 100% accurate. You may say, oh, but the color is off, right? Well, when you get one, put it in the freezer for a spell then remove it to room temperature. The frost gives it that slightly opaque, brighter color. Pretty cool little prop actually!!
Lastly, a Chinese friend translated the main symbol as "forever". I wonder if Ridley was messing with us here too |

Cool find. I always think of that scene when I go to the Container Store and see one of those on the shelves. Now you just need a sheep's eye from the butcher and you're good to go _________________
