Who makes a nice disassembly tray for folders/pistols?

I've recently picked up a few folders with loose bearings and I need to prepare for cleaning/tinkering time in the future.

Who makes a good-quality tray with little compartments for holding bits and pieces? My dream list would be:

Shallow lips around each compartment to stop parts loss
A larger compartment toward me for working
Smaller compartments away from me for parts storage (mainly one for bearing/screws, and maybe a few others for whatever)
Some sort of soft backing in each section (cork, leather, etc.)
Something high-end and spendy or something frugal would work. Price doesn't really matter if I like it.

Surely someone makes something such as this. Googling hasn't provided much that interests me. I'm imaging a giant EDC tray-type thing.

Ideas / links / pictures of what works for you would be appreciated.

The smaller ones fit in the bigger ones really well.
 
Typical disassembly trays you'll find on the internet can get ridiculously pricey.

I own and use some of the CountyComm trays that D Danke42 recommended above, and like them a lot.

I also own, use, and recommend the $20 KnifeJoy silicone knife takedown shop mat.
The holes at the top hold your driver bits, and it measures 14.50" wide x 10.50" tall.

This is also good. Looks like the honeycomb would really help to keep bearings under control. Appreciate it.
 
For something just down-and-dirty/provisional, I'll sometimes use an egg carton, then put parts into it from left to right, top to bottom so I can reassemble in reverse order.

For guns, I'll often use those magnetic trays mechanics use, and put the parts into it in clockwise order so I can reverse the sequence when reassembling...
 
I’d be interested in a project like this…I’ll shoot ya a PM.
