How to choose the right pizza box size
Pizza boxes are specified by their inside dimensions. Start from the diameter of your largest pizza in each size and add a small clearance on every side, so the pizza does not touch the walls and can be lifted out easily. The box height should leave room for toppings without pressing the lid onto the pizza.
- Send us the pizza diameter for each size you sell (for example small, medium, large, family).
- Tell us whether one box design is used for all sizes or each size has its own artwork.
- For pide and calzone, send the length and width of the product instead of a diameter.
E-flute or B-flute corrugated for pizza boxes
E-flute is thinner and lighter, with a smoother surface that takes printing well; it suits smaller pizzas and short delivery routes. B-flute is thicker and stiffer, keeps its shape better in large sizes and stacks more reliably in delivery bags. Double wall board can be used for very large or heavy pizzas.
Printing options: one-colour logo or full-colour design
Most pizza boxes are printed with one or two colours by flexo printing directly on the corrugated board — economical and well suited to large quantities. For photographs, gradients or detailed artwork, the design is printed offset on paper and laminated onto the corrugated board (litho-lamination). Inside printing is also possible for a branded unboxing.
Grease, heat and food contact
A pizza box holds hot, oily food, so board and inks are chosen together with you for this use. Vent holes let steam escape and help the crust stay crisp. If you need grease resistance, the options are agreed at quotation stage.
In the European Union, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation restricts PFAS in food-contact packaging from 12 August 2026, so grease-resistant solutions for EU markets should be PFAS-free. Food-contact obligations in your market remain with the brand placing the product on the market.
Orders for chains, distributors and export
Pizza boxes ship flat in bundles on pallets, which keeps freight volume low. For export, delivery terms such as EXW or DAP are agreed per order and we work with your forwarder. For chains with several sizes, prices are quoted per size and per quantity tier so you can compare options.
