You want HDPE for a box. Its high density polyethylene or something vs low density.

HDPE is expensive, but easy to get....
http://www.mcmaster.com/ is another good online industrial supply place, i've bought through them many times while working in industry.

I take back what I said, HDPE isn't too expensive when buying thin sheets, not at all!

ldpe is higher friction so you want hdpe because it slides better
