(TNG eBook: A Sea of Troubles) A different type of stasis box was used by the ancient Slaver civilization. The box kept items preserved in temporal stasis, where not even time could get to the items inside. These boxes also had the ability to glow when it was near another box, even if it was a few light-years away. (TOS novel: From History's Shadow; TAS episode: "The Slaver Weapon")

Moreover, it is possible that the container found at the Eye of the World containing the Horn of Valere and the Dragon Banner was a stasis box put into place by Solinda, Oselle and Zorelle Sedai after the destruction of Paaran Disen in the hopes that its contents would be recovered in the far future by the Dragon Reborn. Sometime prior to 998 NE, Ishamael located a stasis box that contained dozens of zomara, which later serve wine to Darkfriends at the Darkfriend Social. In 999 NE Graendal found a stasis box that contained Streith and Sammael found another which contained "lots of goodies, and something else," - a possible reference to the gholam.
