In 2014, Disney began shipping MagicBands in these boxes to Annual Passholders:

In 2016, the Annual Passholder boxes changed to this:

s-l1600-1

s-l1600-2

In late October 2014, Cast Members got their own free MagicBands in custom boxes that look like this. These boxes were only available for a limited time to certain Cast. Here are the details directly quoted from Disney’s internal information:

“And in appreciation of all their efforts in bringing MyMagic+ to life, all Central Florida Cast Members hired on or before Oct. 20, 2014 are eligible to receive a complimentary MagicBand. The only way to get it is to link your passes to your profile, then customize and order your MagicBand using My Disney Experience. And the deadline is coming up soon: you must order your MagicBand by Dec. 31, 2014.”

Free band orders for resort guests (not shown) and Annual Passholder renewals now come in this eco-friendly packaging that can hold up to 5 bands:

The eco-friendly design with Mrs. Incredible (Elastigirl) on it was released to the public very briefly with the original MagicBand (and maybe even briefer for MagicBand 2). This box is actually quite difficult to find.
