Boxes (plural: box ) describes various containers and containers for permanent use as storage, or for temporary use, often for transporting content.

Boxes can be made of durable materials such as wood or metal, or corrugated fiberboard, cardboard, or other non-durable materials. The size can vary from very small (eg, matchbox) to large tool sizes. Corrugated boxes are very common shipping containers. When no specific form is described, a rectangular cross-sectional box with all the flat sides may be expected, but a box may have a square, elongated, round or oval cross section; top of italic or dome, or vertical edges. They are not always made up of boxes.

Decorative or storage boxes can be opened by raising, pulling, shifting or removing covers, which may be hinged and/or tied with a hook, hook, or key.

Packaging box

Some types of boxes are used in packaging and storage.

• Corrugated box is a shipping container made of corrugated fiberboard. It is most commonly used to transport and store products during distribution, and is judged according to the strength of the finished material or capacity of the box.
• The folding cartridge (sometimes called a box) is made of cardboard. Printed paperboard (if necessary), cut and scored to form blanks. It is transported and stored flat, and established at the charging point. This is used to package a variety of items, intended for one-time use (can not be closed) or as a storage box for the remaining items.
  • A type of folding carton is a gift box, used for birthday or Christmas gifts and often wrapped in decorative wrapping paper; this type usually has a much lighter construction than a similar-sized carton box intended for packaging and distribution.
• The "set up" box (or rigid cardboard box) is made of rigid cardboard, glued permanently with printable or colored paper leather. Unlike cardboard folding, these are assembled at the point of manufacture and are transported already "set-up". Set-up boxes are more expensive than folding boxes and are commonly used to protect high-value items such as cosmetics, watches, or smaller consumer electronics.
• Crates are heavy duty delivery containers originally made of wood. Crate is different from wooden box, also used as heavy duty shipping container. For wooden containers to be crates, six sides must be installed to produce container-identifiable power. The strength of the wooden box, on the other hand, is judged on the weight that can be brought before the top or opening is installed.
  • Variants of wooden boxes are wooden wine boxes or crates, originally used for shipping and storing expensive wine, but now for decorative or promotional purposes or as storage boxes not for protection during shipment./li>
• Large boxes are large boxes that are often used in industrial environments. The size fits the palette.

Depending on local and specific uses, the carton and box terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

The invention of large steel intermodal shipping containers has helped advance trade globalization.

Storage box

Boxes for storing various items inside can often be very decorative, as they are intended for permanent use and sometimes displayed in certain locations.

Here are some storage box types:

• Jewelry box (AmE) or jewelry (BrE), is a box for knick-knacks or jewelry. It can take a very simple shape with a cover and a layer of paper, coated in leather and coated with satin, or larger and trimmed higher.
• A humidor is a special box for storing a cigar on the right humidity, using an absorbent material that holds and retains moisture from the cigar. Power box can also maintain the right temperature.
• "Strong box" or safe, is a box that can be securely locked to save money or other valuables. The term "strong box" is sometimes used for safes that are no longer portable boxes but mounted on walls or floors to improve security.
• Toolbox is used to carry a variety of tools. This term implies a container intended for portability rather than storage only, for example with hinged caps, clasps or keys, reinforced corners, and handles. The toolbox is usually very sturdy, but unlike the shipping box containing the dunnage, it is not expected to fully protect its contents if the box is flipped or overturned.
• Common storage boxes for equipment, instruments, glassware, artwork, etc. is a sturdy box made to be more durable and better-finished than a shipping box or crate. For example, a box may be a rigid cardboard box instead of a corrugated box. Or it could be a wooden box with a sanded surface and angled corners instead of a crate construction. The storage box may or may not have a dunnage or cushion that protects its contents if the box is upside down or shaken, and usually does not have a hinge, hook or key, but only a cover. Boxwood gets its name from its superior properties to create this type of box, even though the properties are equally useful when creating a decorative box.
• Boxfile is used commonly in the office to store smaller papers and files.

Postbox service

• The postbox (English and others, as well as a written postcard), or mailbox (English North America and others) is a physical box used to collect mail to be sent to the destination. Postbox variants for outbound emails include:
  • Lightbox
  • Ludlow wall box
  • The pillar box
  • Wallbox

Boxes where postal workers deposit incoming mail for the recipient include:

• Mailboxes (in the U.S. usually called mailboxes), are placed near or at the recipient's home email or workplace.
• Office mailboxes (often abbreviated as P.O. boxes or PO boxes), boxes rented by mail recipients to be independent postal addresses, located at the post office or at the premises of the company offering the facility. The self-service box is unlocked by the recipient, otherwise the postal worker picks up the mail.

The relay box is similar to a postbox or mailbox, but is fully locked; the post office truck deposits a letter which is then picked up and sent by the pedestrian mail operator. In the United States, they are painted differently from the collection box.
