Cajas de cartón o cajas de otro material Explanation: I think this is how you should translate this phrase. "boxes" can mean any box made of any material. And "cartons" mean boxes specifically made of carton. And obviously in the original text they distinguish them. Good luck! Experience |

cajas de cartón Explanation: "Un contenedor puede guardar una cantidad de cajas de cartón o contenedores más pequeños." Box es caja de cualquier material, y carton es caja de cartón. A su vez, una caja es también un contenedor, de modo que la traducción que te propongo contempla todo el significado del original; no hace falta que transmitas exactamente la estructura del original. Suerte y saludos, Patricia Experiencia propia |
