Package or box ?

Please, in relation to "Band-Aid" and tea, what do we say :

- a package (or) a box of Band-Aid ?

- a package (or) a box of tea ?

And when (e.g.) at a charitable tea souvenirs were distributed * in an aleatoric way, do we say that those souvenirs were distributed by raffle ?

* Here I mean, the guests' names were written in sheets and placed into a box, then they were raffled and won some souvenirs.

Thanks,

Molly
