+  A box can provide additional information to the user by supplying an info.json
+  file within the box.

+
+# Additional Box Information
+
+When creating a Vagrant box, you can supply additional information that might be
+relevant to the user when running `vagrant box list -i`. For example, you could
+package your box to include information about the author of the box and a
+website for users to learn more:
+
+```
+brian@localghost % vagrant box list -i
+hashicorp/precise64     (virtualbox, 1.0.0)
+  - author: brian
+  - homepage: https://www.vagrantup.com
+```
+
+## Box Info
+
+To accomplish this, you simply need to include a file named `info.json` when
+creating a [base box](/docs/boxes/base.html) which is a JSON document containing
+any and all relevant information that will be displayed to the user when the
+`-i` option is used with `vagrant box list`.
+
+```json
+{
+ "author": "brian",
+ "homepage": "https://example.com"
+}
+```
+
+There are no special keys or values in `info.json`, and Vagrant will print each
+key and value on its own line.
+
+The [Box File Format](/docs/boxes/format.html) provides more information about what
+else goes into a Vagrant box.
