GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Bus/Financial - Education / Pedagogy / course package
French term or phrase: boite cartonnee aimantee
[please read acute accents on first 'e' of second two words... I am on a strange keyboard and can't insert them]

This is a box which participants in a corporate training course are given, containing notes, notebook, and other course material.

It is the first item of a list of what participants receive: "Box: boite cartonnee aimantee".

One of the items in the box is a CD-rom, so I wonder if the box is 'magnetised' as a form of protection? I am just having trouble finding examples of magnetised boxes on the internet...

Thanks in advance.
