化粧箱

English translation: A presentation box

14:00 Oct 19, 2009
Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / Packaging
Japanese term or phrase: 化粧箱
I'm struggling to find a suitable term for this. It is not a cosmetics box. The product is a small medical device (a diagnostic test kit) and this term refers to the final layer of packaging - the box in which it will be sold. It's not a fancy box, just a plain white box with a label.

The document is part of an application for marketing approval.

I thought about maybe 'display box' or 'sales box', but I'm sure there must be a standard term for this.

Explanation:
or a packaging box, or a package in a box could be applied. I think that this is for a sales unit. So, a shipping box is also possible, isn't it?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Shipping box could work. Packaging box sounds good but as there's already a lot of packaging being described I'm not sure it would do the job here.

Explanation:
The *outer packaging* is made of a rather thin, quadrangle, laminated cardboard shell. >

Also,
on a slightly different note:
The *outer packaging* is very playful and features Mickey throwing out candy.

Asker: I've gone with 'packaging box', but as Yumon suggested this in her answer first, I've given her the points.
