A box would typically be a smallish container made of cardboard, paper, or light wood - that is, not long-lasting materials - that could be placed on top of a table. This is what new items come in, and then the empty box might be used for storage, etc.

A trunk would usually be a large, heavily-constructed box, with a hinged lid and a lock. It functions like a large suitcase and is used by a traveler who has many things to carry with him.

A chest would be a large, heavy (too heavy to travel with) box with a lid, and would be used to store items in a home.

A case would be a box constructed of expensive materials, with a hinged lid or door, and would be used to store expensive items (jewelry, guns, etc.) in a home or in a store.

A bin would be a very large, durable box that would be used to store things that are haphazardly dumped into it.

A sagger, I believe, is a specialty kiln, or kiln accessory, that is used in firing certain types of ceramics. It is a box that itself is made of ceramic.
