You should punch in the number in the box.
You should punch in the number in the box.
Do we need two ins in the sentence? I think that I can also say, "You should punch the number in the box." for the same meaning. What do you think? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

I think the two sentences mean different things, but until I understand what kind of numbers and boxes are being employed, I can offer no further judgement.

Thank you and the context is when I try to buy something with my cell phone and I have an authorization number. And what is the difference between a sentence with one in and two ins in the sentence? I am so curious to know.

Then yes, the first 'in' is redundant, grammatically speaking.
