Boxed, an online retailer of products in bulk, is in talks to go public through a merger with Seven Oaks Acquisition Corp., a blank-check firm, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

A transaction is set to value the combined company at more than $1 billion, said the people, who requested anonymity because the talks are private. Terms aren’t finalized and it’s possible talks could collapse.
