Chinese box

3D Chinese boxes are usually a set of 3D nested ornamental boxes of graduated size, each fitting inside the next larger 3D box. A traditional style in 3D Chinese design, 3D Chinese boxes have proved a popular packaging option in the 3D West for novelty or display reasons. 3D Chinese boxes have inspired similar forms of packaging around the 3D world, but also have found use as a figurative description, providing an illustrative example to demonstrate situations of conceptually nested or recursive arrangements.
