Paragraph in which it's found: "The vision for a warehouse distribution center to service the mushroom industry in the XXX locality became reality in September, 1995. A core group of employees were hired in December 1995 as truck drivers, fork-lift operators and clericals. The process has grown and transitioned to a two-shift operation that includes setup box operations."
Not being entirely sure what a setup box was, I went looking for a definition/explanation, and I thought this one was particularly helpful: "If you’ve ever bought a piece of fine jewelry, gave chocolates to your sweetheart, or purchased a pair of shoes, the box it came in may have been what is known as a rigid, or set-up box."
So that's the kind of term I'm looking for. Here's more information on my document: an employee handbook for a US company that starts out with a history of the company (that's where the sentence in question is found). They are (I am) translating their handbook for their Spanish-speaking employees, so given the region where the plant is located, I'm assuming primarily Mexicans and Puerto Ricans will be the target audience, but in any event, "U.S." Spanish should be sufficient.
What I've got so far: "La visión para un almacén centro de distribución para suministrar la industria de champiñones en la localidad de XXX se hizo realidad en septiembre de 1995. Se contrató un grupo eje de empleados en diciembre 1995 como camioneros, autoelevadoristas y personal administrativo. El proceso ha crecido y se ha convertido en una operación de dos turnos que incluye operaciones de ..."

Paquete de Maquinas para Hacer Caja Rígida
La caja rígida fabricada con interior de tapa dura de cartón reverso gris y forro con papel o tela de alta calidad, permite hacer cajas muy vistosas para el mercado de perfumería, regalos, sombreros, y electrónicos. Normalmente la caja esta acompañada de una tapa.
La caja rígida se fabrica con un proceso semiautomático usando cuatro maquinas en secuencia, para primero pegar las esquinas de la caja de reverso gris (previamente troquelada o ranurada) usando una cinta adhesiva. Luego se toma el esqueleto de esta caja y se coloca sobre un conveyor que lleva el forro previamente aplicado con pegamento.
