Secure? I remember seeing pure copper hydroxide sold at the garden store 
in plastic bag inside a cardboard box. Sure it had all the regulatory 
labeling signs, but secure, not. The only difference between poisons 
rated packaging and non-poisons packaging is the word "poison" is often 
molded into the container. Many a food container are perfectly ok for 
storing chemicals such as copper hydroxide. In most cases the only 
difference between food and chemical packaging is the labeling.

This is why I say its ok to store PCB hobby chemicals in suitable food 
containers.
