display box

Glass-fronted case

A display box is a container designed to showcase its contents while protecting them.

In retail, display boxes present merchandise attractively on shelves or counters.

Collectors use display boxes for figurines, sports memorabilia, or other items worth exhibiting: He kept his signed baseball in a display box on the mantel.

The term also applies to packaging with a transparent window.
