Apple has done a lot of work to create packaging that is mostly paper, eliminating most of the plastic and foam. Even the little doohickeys to keep the cables neatly coiled are made of paper now. They have also shrunk the overall size of the boxes. A 2023 14” MacBook Pro is about the same size as a white plastic iBook G4 from 2005, but the box is about half the volume. This also lowers the per-machine shipping costs because they can fit more of them in the plane.
