If the box is made out of paper or cardboard, you will not be able to get the Sharpie off as it would have been absorbed into the material. If the box is made out of some other material, such as plastic or metal, you can try rubbing alcohol or acetone/nail polish remover. Rubbing alcohol or acetone/nail polish remover may also work on wooden boxes, depending on the finish. Keep in mind that acetone/nail polish remover will also remove any other finish, such as paint and varnish.
