There are several, with different shades of meaning:
die Schachtel box, package
der Kasten box, chest, bin, hutch showcase
die Kiste box, case, chest, crate
das Behältnis box, container, bin, receptacle
(or without the umlaut, das Behaeltnis)
Note that der = masculine
die = feminine
das = neuter
Note also that the idiom "die alte Kiste" means jalopy.
