German term or phrase: box
Buongiorno! Sto traducendo un testo di marketing che contiene una lista di contenitori utilizzabili per un sistema di trasporto all'interno di un magazzino, tra gli altri "box". Mi è venuto però un dubbio: se volessi mantenere il termine box nella mia traduzione, che genere dovrei attribuirgli? "Il box" mi suona meglio, ma ho trovato anche dei riscontri per "la box". Ringrazio chi mi vorrà aiutare ^____^

Explanation:
Direi genere maschile, per non confonderlo con lo sport...eviterei però la parola inglese scegliendone una italiana, come scatola, contenitore.
