retail box

Product display package

A retail box is the commercial packaging in which a product is sold to consumers, as opposed to bulk or OEM packaging.

The term appears most often in electronics and software, where products may be available either in plain packaging for resellers or in branded boxes with manuals and accessories for individual buyers: The retail box includes a warranty card and quick-start guide.

Collectors sometimes pay premium prices for items still in the original retail box.
