"That box" is singular, so the pronoun must be singular.
her - singular
it - singular
its - singular
them - plural
It is also a direct object in the sentence ("that box" answer "what?" after the verb), so the pronoun must be in the objective case.
her - objective
it - objective
its - possessive
"The box" is gender-neutral, so we use the gender-neutral pronoun "it."
her - feminine
it - neutral
