I store them in small buckets. Built a partition inside the bucket depending on need/sizes. I cut a piece of wood and screwed it from the outside of the bucket to hold it in place.

I use a lot of these bins at work. Maybe they would work for nipples:

We use old milk crates, but those are starting to fail....at least the plastic ones.

Same here, stackable and very sturdy.  Labeling the end is key, I use brother PT labels

With a little imagination you can fab one up for 2.5 and up . Use some dimensional lumber and 3/8 or 1/2 plywood for the sides and some 18 gauge duct scraping for a handle .i believe steam head had some customs trays made up for him . They end up look like a brief case that open on the top . It surely helps keep the inventory and a lot neater then buckets I feel . Milk crates are great to but can be heavy when loaded w 3 and 4 inch nipples . Peace and good luck clammy

I have a brother labeler that is about 15 years old and has something like a real keyboard and they dont make anything like that now
