Does anyone know if there's a Danish term for the English 'brown box' (see link here: http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/b/brownbox.htm) - I'm unsure whether to keep it in English or translate it to 'brun kasse/boks' - have searched online but to no avail...
I need to deliver tonight (PST), so I will only consider replies submitted within the next 8 hours - thanks!

Fabrik-kasse
Learned this one while working in logistics.
A brown box can also be called a manufactures box, or in Danish, which is how I first learned the term, fabriks-kasse. I do not think there has been a documented source for the term. These boxes are sent to a distributor who can drop it into a retail box. That box can change quickly without changing the brown box.
Hope this helps.
