I think you’d be able to get it in a little ways before top of the box pushes against its own lid, preventing it from going in any further. If the lid pops back open, then the top of the box will begin sticking out of the box which will likely make it too wide to fit all the way through the wall portal.
But the rules of Portal is that the portals themselves break when moved by any substantial extent anyways so in the game it would just disable the portal altogether.

You can pass two 2d ovals through each other in a 3D space no problem if they’re exactly the same size.
Box moves 1 inch and the portal poofs due to an unstable surface.
This always bothers me when people argue what would happen if you pushed Portal portals into each other. You can’t. The moment the surface moves, it’s unstable and the portal pops. They’re quite specific about this in the games.
In this case, the portals are only moving in planes parallel to each other, so there is no stability introduced.
Portal surfaces can move. By nature everything is moving, we just happen to be in the same frame of reference.
Regardless, here is a video of a portal on a moving surface from portal 2. https://youtu.be/OrAHvenjZpA?si=VY5dRvUP8_LPgOPO (around the 1 minute mark)
Additionally shooting a portal on the moon also demonstrates that movement is allowed (since the moon is in a non synchronous orbit)
So how do you find a box that can fit a blue portal inside, but also itself fits through the orange portal; given that both portals are equal in size?
Pivot
Is their anything that can escape the “self referential” paradox?
It would repel or bounce the box as each portal acts as opposite like magnets.
it just turns the cosmos inside out like a sock . Don’t do it.
The result is a box with a portal in it, in a box with an portal in it, in a box with an portal in it, in a box with an portal in it…∞
you open a rift to the astral plane.
Explosion :P
Portals can only move within planes parallel to each other.
/c/sciencefictionmemes?
Portals cannot be moved. Try putting a portal on a moving surface in the game, it disappears.
Should have used circles, like a manhole cover
THIS is what happens when you succeed in making an AI ( or Hoomin ) that can create MODERN KOANS.
You Bastard!!

Both portals should the same size. Fitting one in a box, means the box should be too big to fit in the other portal.
