When making a plural from a word that ends in "x", you will always add an "-es".
Example sentences:
Singular: She held the box in her hand.
Plural: She held the boxes in her hands.
Singular: The box was full of trash.
Plural: The boxes were full of trash.
Singular: She put the box into the trash bin.
Plural: She put the boxes into the trash bin.
The apostrophe s ('s) is only used for possessives, meaning the box "owns" the next word or the box is related somehow to the next word in the sentence.
Example sentences:
The box's flaps tore so they wouldn't close.
The box's contents were X-rayed for explosives.
The box's label showed my name and address.
Don't confuse apostrophe s with a plural. You can have a single apostrohe ( ' ) on a plural to indicate "plural plus possessive".
Example sentences:
The axes' handles were solid wood. (note the -es indicates plural, and one apostrophe is added to show possessive: axes' (related to/owns their) handles.
The boxes' sides were crushed. (multiple boxes=plural, so "-es is added after the x, but the sides are 'owned by' all the boxes so add an apostrophe).
