box-fresh

Just from packaging

Box-fresh describes something brand new, unused, and in pristine condition—as if just removed from its packaging.

The term originated with sneakers but extends to anything untouched: box-fresh trainers, a box-fresh copy of the game.

British English favors this compound; Americans more often say fresh out of the box.
