LOL! I tried buying Athearn blue boxes from Walthers recently; apparently,
Athearn has stopped selling the boxes separately. Pity; the medium ones were
great for storing built up P2K diesels.
However, my point was that the box is (all things considered) a minor
expense in the cost of a kit, compared to the CAD work, CAM die cutting,
purchasing of injection molding equipment, payroll, facilities, etc.
I was QUITE impressed by my visit to Intermountain's facilities a few years
ago.

Brian,
Please let me know where to find the four-color, glossy coated .03
boxes! I'd like to buy a bunch of them. <g>

what’s a box cost these days? $0.02 or $0.03?

Laurance,
Thank you for your comments.
I do have one question though. Would you still buy the "bare bones" kit
if I told you the price would be no different from a kit in a box with
a more formal set of instructions?
