Editing Box (section)

== Packaging ==
Several types of boxes are used in [[packaging]] and storage.

* A [[corrugated box design|corrugated box]] is a [[shipping container]] made from [[corrugated fiberboard]], most commonly used to transport products from a warehouse during distribution. Corrugated boxes are also known as cartons, cases, and [[cardboard box]]es in various regions.  Corrugated boxes are rated based on the strength of their material or their carrying capacity. Corrugated boxes are also used as product packaging, or in [[point of sale]] displays. 
* [[Folding carton]]s (sometimes known as a box) are [[paperboard]] boxes manufactured with a folding lid. These are used to package a wide range of goods, and can be used for either one-time (non-resealable) usage, or as a storage box for more permanent use. Folding cartons are first printed (if necessary) before being [[Die (manufacturing)|die-cut]] and scored to form a blank; these are then transported and stored flat, before being constructed at the point of use.
** A [[gift box]] is a variant on the folding carton, used for birthday or [[Christmas]] [[gift]]s.
* Gable boxes are paperboard cartons used for liquids. 
* Setup boxes (also known as rigid paperboard boxes) are made of stiff paperboard and are permanently glued together with paper skins that can be printed or colored. Unlike folding cartons, these are assembled at the point of manufacture and transported as already constructed ("set-up"). Set up boxes are more expensive than folding boxes and are typically used for protecting high-value items such as cosmetics, watches or smaller consumer electronics.
* [[Crate]]s are heavy duty shipping containers. Originally made of wood, crates are distinct from [[wooden box]]es, also used as heavy-duty shipping containers, as a wooden container must have all six of its sides put in place to result in the rated strength of the container. The strength of a wooden box, on the other hand, is rated based on the weight it can carry before the top or opening is installed.
** A wooden wine box or wine crate, originally used for shipping and storing expensive wines, is a variant of the wooden box now used for decorative or promotional purposes, or as a storage box during shipping.
* [[Bulk box]]es are large boxes often used in industrial environments, sized to fit on a [[pallet]].
* An [[ammunition box]] is a metal can or box for ammunition.
Depending on locale and usage, the terms '''carton''' and '''box''' are sometimes used interchangeably. The invention of large steel [[intermodal shipping container]]s has helped advance the [[globalization]] of commerce.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9383.html|title=Sample Chapter for Levinson, M.: The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger.|last=Levinson|first=Marc|work=[[The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger]]|publisher=Princeton University Press|access-date=17 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130122131825/http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9383.html|archive-date=2013-01-22|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Gittins |first=Ross |date=2006-06-12 |title=How the invention of a box changed our world |url=https://www.smh.com.au/business/how-the-invention-of-a-box-changed-our-world-20060612-gdnqf0.html |access-date=2022-09-10 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}}</ref>
