Answers.Body: <p>I thought that promotional boxed sets were good candidates for the smallest box as well, as I own a <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=1630-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1630-1 Helicopter</a> (which, incidentally, I got as a promotional gift for buying toothpaste at some point in the 90s IIRC), at 7 x 7 x 4.5 cm (220cm<sup>3</sup>/0.22 litres).</p>
  <p>There are sets with similar dimensions as well, such as <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5018-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">5018-1 Gravity Games Promotional Set</a> at 7 x 7.5 x 4 cm (210cm<sup>3</sup>/0.21 litres), <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=7912-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">7912-1 Helicopter Promotional (Duracell)</a>, <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5017-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">5017-1 Hockey Promotional set.</a> and some others.</p>
  <p>I thought those were the smallest in volume, but after a deeper search on bricklink I came up with a thinner 2.5cm (<a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=281-1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">281-1 1 x 2 and 3 x 2 Sloping Bricks, Red</a> with 8.6 x 6.2 x 2.5 cm / 133cm<sup>3</sup>/0.133 litres):</p>

  <p>And after delving in the sets with a low part cound, I came up with an even thinner 1.8cm box with <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=1222-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1222-2 1x1 round bricks</a>, at 7.5 x 5.5 x 1.8 cm (74.25cm<sup>3</sup>/0.074 litres) (same box size as <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=1241-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1241-2</a>, <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=1240-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1240-2</a>, <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=1230-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1230-2</a> and possibly others):</p>

If it is the former then an answer may note be findable and of small interest. An answer to the second seemd more intriguing.

  Similar to [What Lego set has the biggest box?](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/12907/what-lego-set-has-the-biggest-box) but probably more-challenging to answer, what LEGO set has the *smallest* box (either square or cubic dimensions work)?
  
  I'm talking actual sets with an item number and an actual boxes, not polybags or sub-components in a set (like a minifig cape box).

  As with “biggest”, smallest also has different definitions (weight? Width? Volume?). Here are a few candidates:
  
  [5005250 Party Banana Juice Bar](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5005250-1&name=Party%20Banana%20Juice%20Bar&category=%5BCollectible%20Minifigures%5D%5B(Other)%5D#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D) - 8 x 4.5 x 11 cm (the Chicken version also qualifies)

  [600-2 Police Patrol](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=600-2#T=S&O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D) - 9.5 x 5.6 x 3.6 cm
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/vcobm.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/vcobm.png)
  
  I don’t have a link or box picture, but the Dutch store opening gift Windmill comes in a pretty small box as well.
  
  EDIT: username_5 pointed me to [the BL entry for the Windmill](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=Amsterdam-1#T=S&O=). 14.5 x 14.5 x 4.5 doesn’t exactly make the box a good candidate.
