I agree, but could I not change it to its'?

In the above example, we got out our fancy die from its' box.

Because I haven't previously explained to the audience that there was a box, saying "the box" made me think "did I miss something"?

Or, you can use its, which is possessive.

Its is the possessive form of it. Its' is not valid English for historic reasons.

You are correct. I don't know why I kept the apostrophe.
