Boxes are like barrels, but you put non-placeable items in them (ores, circuits, rocket parts, etc) instead of fluids. Each box holds one stack of the item, and boxes do not stack, so boxes do not let you put more items into chests, trains, etc.

They do help with belt throughput and speed up train loading, however.

Boxes are unlocked by researching the new "Box handling" technology, which requires Automation 2. Like barrels, you must use Assembling Machine 2 or 3 to put items in or take them out of boxes.
