You donāt have to count them. They roll right into the holes, extras roll off. You can get as few as 1 and as many as 10 in one . Seems to be the best fit we found.

Mission accomplished 
That was my goal, dump a pile on top, wipe the extras and have 10 auto-counted. Or any number you choose.
This can vary, if the pockets are big enough for Johnnyās Rhino seeds, you could likely fit 2 maybe 3 of the really small varieties in the same pod (IIRC gambians were smaller? I forget what I saw recently that were tiny). But the pocket size we have currently in rotation works for 95% of whats out there (Rhinos donāt fit, next batch to Johnny will adjust that for him).
Iāll work on a friction fit 2 piece tonight, the twist cap adds a fair amount of weight for the job its performing, plus adds considerable time to the print process for a 2 piece screw-together flip.
Maybe throw together a few shapes. Thinking small ingot sized, hex or even square. Also for 1 piece designs, keeping them user friendly with Avery labelsā¦
Gimme a few hours to pull some things together. thereās 2 brand new printers here requiring some assembly.

The BBGC were too big for the first ones. This will accommodate those larger beans , up to 10. They can go smaller for smaller beans and fit more.
Heās working on clips in the back so the tray doesnāt slide until you release it. With my clumsy self, that was needed. 
rectangles slightly larger than address labels would be perfect imo. nobody will think they are coins and address labels and a printer are easy items to source.

I just used my snazzy rolling tray. 
Dumped seeds on the tray, put flip on tray, load and sticker one at a time. I do like the multi-load for people running lots of seed though, thats a helpful addition.
I literally just looked up their size before I read this as I was thinking similar, thats about the size of a silver ingotā¦ In a 3/4" x 2 1/4" (20mm x 56mm) there are avery labels available as well, and that would fit at least 30-36 pocketsā¦
Test printing my first friction fit cap as I type this

I wonder if it might not be simpler to make it a one piece with a hinged side and a tab closure on one end, like some food storage containers. Screw together seems a likely to be heavier.

Iāll just post this here it my older mass storage type.
Yes stickers prevent rattling and these work, ive shipped probably hundred plus full of seeds so far just havenāt been shipping any as of late.
Also have played with inset naming on the side of the pucks as of late just a simple āMr.Sparkleā on three sides though for my idea kinda would be better on a top or bottom face though i put it on the back burner for these new protos as thats just dress up that i can add to the end once i settle on designs for myself.
Also have a different idea for added flair but ill hold off on that.
@ifish yeah you could, i just use an extra sticker on the back of them to bundle them im just thinking and plug and slot sorta thing with get broken in the rollers and stickers or tape provide some flexibility

@Nagel420 also unlikely youāll get them to remain under that 5mm height max for regular post if going with screw tops, i considered it at one point and didnāt think it was feasible

What if you just did 2 holes to feed a needle and thread through to hold them together in transit but not add weight? Iām thinking like how some beads have 2 holes so you can make them stay in place.
Or maybe rails to slide together. Or jigsaw puzzle bits to click into place in a modular manner.

the hole idea would work would be extra work vs a sticker or tape though, still would work

Honestly I think Iām stoned enough to have kind of regressed past the point of being helpful with it, but spitballing can be good sometimes haha

PLA is flexible, but a hinge of that sort is likely to break in short order.
I think the friction fit cap will work, just pulled it off the printer, and its a snug fit. Now I need to modify the original base, it needs a tiny lip to help separate from the lid! LOL
Evolution # 21.42 of the coin flip ROFL
The one someone posted for thingiverse isnt feasible for FDM, maybe resin, but costs are way too high anyway. Print time is OBNOXIOUS compared to your design or mine on an FDM (I realize you are resin and the print time is the same on resin, also have a Mars resin here myself). The thickness I aimed for is 4.6mm on the puck with a 0.4mm cap, which is a ā2 layer capā. The twist cap adds a TON of weight as well, almost doubling the weight of a flip.
When Iāve send these flips, I place them label side down, and just run a piece of tape across the backs of all of them. Holds em in place, but they flex like tank treads. One piece of packing tape covers em all.

yeah thats what i do, just tape or another sticker on the back side to hold them.
and yeah looked into the two part pucks effectively your decreasing your print time by half as your printing twice as much
also reason why i settled on 1"/25mm or 3/4"/20mm designs as getting round stickers for them is easy and cheap, coding dots and or say 300count rolls from aliexpress for $3, with custom printing options in some cases.
Consider too 5mm max thickness is for full letter height, so say my pucks are 4.25mm overall with 3.75mm deep holes to give a little wiggle room
