What Are Pizza Boxes Made Of?

When it comes to pizza boxes’ material, there are two common types that are used in their manufacturing process: Corrugated Cardboard or Kraft Paperboard. There are also White boxes, which are usually bleached corrugated boxes or a white coating applied on the box.

What Is the Difference Between Corrugated Cardboard and Kraft Paperboard?

Corrugated Cardboard is made from several layers; a fluted, wavy material is glued between two layers of a flat sheet of lined board. It can be single-faced, single-walled, double-walled walled and triple-walled. The flute varies as well in thickness; there are A, B, C, E, and F flute options.

It has a great perk, which is shock absorption in case of impact, as well as excellent cushioning ability. The surface is not as smooth as kraft paper; nonetheless, it is good for printing.

Kraft Paperboard is a sheet made from wood pulp that usually comes in two forms: a solid bleached Kraft paper (SBS) and coated unbleached Kraft paper (CUK).

It is heavier than corrugated paper and has a smooth face suitable for high-quality printing. It is durable for different types of packaging.

What Are the Standard Sizes and Shapes of Pizza Boxes?

Sizes

When it comes to pizza boxes, there are three common sizes which are small, medium and large. There are extra-large boxes that are available as well.

You can order different sizes that could be custom-made for your brand.

A pizza box can be custom-made into any shape or size, but the known ones come in several shapes, like

1.      Hexagon-shaped boxes

2.      Square Shaped

3.      A Pizza Slice Box

How Creative Can Your Design Be With a Pizza Box?

We encourage you to get as creative as you want with your design. You dream, and we will make your dream become a reality. Here are some shapes that we thought were very creative when it came to pizza box design.

1.     Perforated Designs

This design is one of my favourite ones because every piece of the box can be turned into a small plate for your slice. The perfect solutions for pizza parties or family dinners.

2.     Handles and Handles Sleeves for Pizza boxes

This would be perfect for big order pizzas and would make it way easier to carry them, and if you don’t want to order boxes with the built-in handles, just get handle sleeves that can be used for different sizes and shapes.

3.     Built-in Holder

As someone who doesn’t like the greasy sensation when eating food, this design would be perfect for me.

4.     Versatile Decker

In case you have different combo offers with appetisers, you can use a double or triple decker with partitions for a compact delivery.

What Are the Key Features of a Pizza Box?

Pizza boxes can come in many shapes and sizes, but there are specific features that can make or break the design and affect the appearance of your brand.

The Material: The world is heading in an eco-friendly direction, so when picking the material for your box, it should be recyclable, compostable or biodegradable. It is better to choose a sustainable packaging solution. The most important thing is that the material should be food safe.

Microwave-Safe: If the customer ended up with leftovers, reheating the pizza inside the box instead of using clean plates and making a mess would be ideal.

Design: When choosing a creative design, you should take into consideration two important things. First, easy access so that people can easily open and close the box. Additionally, there should be a few holes that are necessary to let the steam escape, preventing the pizza from getting soggy and keeping it crisp.

Secure Closure & Stackable: Since pizza boxes are made for fast food places and restaurants, they definitely need to be stackable for storage and securely closed to avoid any issues with the transfer of orders.

How Do You Make a Pizza Box Grease-Resistant?

There are two ways to make a pizza box grease-free. We simply can provide a greaseproof pizza box liner as a barrier between the box and the pizza.

The other option is applying a coating. You can simply apply a thin, food-grade, grease-resistant coating on the inside.
