A person who makes or manufactures boxes, especially as a trade or profession.
Compound of 'box' (container) and 'maker' (from Old English 'macian,' to make or construct), an occupational term from when boxmaking was a recognized skilled trade.
Boxmakers were once respected craftspeople with apprenticeships—the decline of the term tracks how industrial manufacturing replaced individual skilled trades, much like 'candlestick maker' or 'tinsmith.'
