There is cardboard box manufacturer on my commute, the exterior of the unit was refurbished and spanking new sign erected. Under the company name it proudly proclaimed "More than just a box". After a few months I couldn't stand it any longer, my head was a whirlwind of box permutations, I called it at their reception and asked to speak to the sales manager which led to a bizarre 10 minute discussion. They make and sell bog standard, plain, brown, cardboard boxes, I don't know why they don't want to admit it?
