DVD boxes were particularly popular in Brazil and the United States from the early 2000s through the 2010s as a way to own complete collections of films and TV series. While streaming services have reduced their prevalence, collectors still value physical DVD boxes for their durability, bonus features, and nostalgia factor. In Brazilian Portuguese, the English term 'box' has been adopted alongside the traditional 'caixa' for this purpose.
