"need any box of a certain kind":
{nitcu lo'ei cmima be lei'e klesi be lo'i tanxe}.
Maybe you can even get away with:
{nitcu lo'ei lu'a le'i tanxe}
-- I think you can.
"There is an apple of a certain kind that I ate":
mi citka lo lu'a le'i plise
If the nonveridicality bothers you, then change to:
mi citka lo lu'a le'i du ku noi plise fa ro lu'a ke'a
--And.
