Bulbs: Forcing Bulbs for Outdoor Containers, 1 by LeawoodGardener

It doesn't take anything special to store bulbs - I use whatever I have on hand that allows for air circulation. One year I used an old clothes basket. Last year I got a couple of these plastic crates, which are sturdy and easy to wash out after I plant the bulbs.

As soon as I dig the bulbs, I lay them out on a large piece of cardboard in the basement to let them dry a bit. After a couple weeks, I take off the last of the dirt and roots and store them for the summer in these crates.
