Match boxes are boxes used to cover match sticks. Match sticks are used for producing fire which can be used for various purposes such as cooking, to lit candles, etc.

Most of us grew up seeing these match boxes in our Kitchens. Although recently, there are modern equipment to make it easier for one to light stoves, gas cookers, etc, the use of match boxes have not faded out yet as it is still being patronized by millions of households.
