A wooden box is a container made of wood for storage or as a shipping container.

Construction may include several types of wood; lumber (timber), plywood, engineered woods, etc. For some purposes, decorative woods are used.

Boxes for packaging and shipping

Wooden boxes are often used for packaging when

  • high strength is needed for heavy and difficult loads
  • long term warehousing may be needed.
  • large size is required
  • rigidity and stacking strength is critical

Boxes and crates are not the same. If the sheathing of the container (plywood, lumber, etc) can be removed, and a framed structure will remain standing, the container would likely be termed a crate. If removal of the sheathing resulted in there being no way of fastening the lumber around the edges of the container, the container would likely be termed a wooden box.

The strength of a wooden box is rated based on the weight it can carry before the cap (top, ends, and sides) is installed. "Skids" or thick bottom runners, are sometimes specified to allow forklift trucks access for lifting.

Performance is strongly influenced by the specific design, type of wood, type of fasteners (nails, etc), workmanship, etc.

Nailed wood box

A nailed wooden box is constructed of pieces of lumber (sometimes with reinforcing battens, cleats, etc.) attached by nails or other suitable fasteners. It usually completely encloses the contents. A box usually has a bottom and four side panels and often has an attachable top.

A. Obviously, the material first of all. Cosmetics is the first thing that will catch your eye. As Javin mentioned, plexiglass will flex if it is not thick enough. The other problem with plexiglass is that it does not absorb backwaves like wood does. There is a tremendous amount of 'echo' inside a plexiglass box and the soundwaves that bounce around in the box reflect on the back of the speaker cone and cause it to vibrate and it distorts the sound.
