BoxSets

Box sets are packaged collections of related media items offered as a single purchase. They are common in music, film, television, and video games, and may include two or more discs, along with booklets, liner notes, and collectible packaging. A music box set might gather multiple albums, rarities, or a complete catalog; a film or television box set usually contains a whole series, a film franchise, or a curated selection, often remastered or restored.

Box sets frequently include bonus material such as commentaries, documentaries, art cards, posters, or essays. Packaging can take various forms, including clamshell cases, digipaks, hardcover books, or decorative slipcases. In some cases, digital box sets are released alongside physical versions, providing access codes or streaming content.

Collectors and fans are primary audiences, but box sets also serve archival purposes and cost efficiencies in distribution. They may be released to commemorate anniversaries, reissue catalogs, or to consolidate previously released formats. Pricing is typically higher per item than individual releases, reflecting added content and premium packaging.

Box sets influence catalog assortment and licensing, and they often drive catalog sales in physical retail. They are widely used by studios, record labels, and publishers to present curated or complete experiences.
