This Apple Watch box contained a replacement Apple watch. The box is sized to only hold the watch body and lacks space for the band, charging cable, and other items in the typical Apple Watch retail packaging.
The box contains a single sheet that shows the words “Need Help?” in several languages on one side and a QR COde on the other side that directs the user to a Support Article, “Use your Apple Watch after service.”
The box is all white and measures 11 x 11 x 2 cm.
This set contains two luggage tags that feature the 6-color Apple logo on one side and a window for identification on the other side. The tags were originally white, but discolored over time.
The package includes two blank identification cards and two black plastic straps. The set is sealed in the original plastic.
This product is featured on page 61 of the Spring 1993 Starting Line: Apple Marketing Communications Catalog. Its description reads:

These Apple stickers are printed with the logo and adhesive on the same side, allowing them to stick on the inside of a window. The white backing measures 4 x 4.75 inches.
The stickers use the Motter Tekura font and feature the 6-color Apple logo. Between 1977 and approximately 1984, Apple used the font Motter Tekura in their logo in all lowercase type (altered only by the removal of the dot over the “i” in “inc.”). When peeled off the backing, the logotype is not included with the sticker—only the logo.
The stickers also include the helpful direction in all caps to “BEND PACK AND PEEL” to release the sticker.

The somewhat odd look of the stickers is due to the “bleed” of the ink off the outer edges. When peeled off the sticker, the logos have the typical logo shape and the extra color that “bleeds” off the edges is left on the backing.

These Apple Unified School System notepads feature the logotype for the Apple Unified School System at the bottom center with a yellow-gold logo above that depicts a highly stylized image of a three houses with people (perhaps students and teachers) above represented by a combination of shapes and whitespace. The top of the notepads have a black Apple logo.
I have been unable to date these notepads specifically, but an Apple Corporate Timeline on the Mac Mothership website reports that in March 1987, Apple Marketing introduced “the Apple Unified School System and Apple’s Education Purchase Program (EPP) in a shared commitment with educators to integrate computers into the learning process.”
Each notepad measures 8.5 x 11 inches and is bound with a tearaway edge.
My research has not yielded much specific information on the Apple Unified School System. The OAC (Online Archive of California) contains a listing for an Apple Unified School System report at Stanford, but it is not available online (and the report is undated). An online history of the 1985 “edutainment” software Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? claims that the Apple Unified School System helped popularize this game when Apple’s “nationwide computer-in-the-classroom infrastructure” was implemented in the late 1980s.
