Once upon a time, nearly ALL software used to be shipped in a box. These days online sales have negated that need, by and large, except for product that sits on shop shelves. Interestingly, however, the advertising for many online-only products still depicts box shots, even if they ARE just graphics!  Check out this FastTrack Scripting Host box-shot for example...

But it's not just software that comes in boxes. Indeed, in this age of shrink-wrap and impossible-to-open plastic covers, even the word "box" is something of a misnomer...
