Food and hospitality / JETDIELINE

Pizza box

The pizza box is made from one blank with double side walls, interlocking corners and a hinged lid. Inside dimensions determine the space for the pizza; ventilation slots and locking tabs are separate parameters.

How the shape is constructed

Front and back walls carry ears that sit in the double side wall pockets. Turnovers with tabs engage in bottom slots. The back wall is followed by lid, lid dust flaps and tuck flap. A row of oblong holes runs parallel to the lid hinge.

How it is assembled

Erect the front and back walls and fold the ears inwards. Erect the side walls, fold the turnover inwards over the ears and press the tabs into the bottom slots. Insert the pizza, fold in the lid dust flaps, close the lid and insert the tuck flap behind the front wall.

Material and grain direction

Flute direction parallel to blank height as with the mailer: side wall and turnover creases lengthwise, lid hinge across the flute; the large lid deflects less (check with the corrugated board printer).

Test fit, folding and closure on a sample made from the intended material. Confirm material thickness, grain direction and production steps with your printer.

Compare openings and closures for your food product. Check direct-contact material, moisture and grease resistance with the manufacturer.

What to consider for this construction

Rollover width

Width of the double wall's rollover (crease-to-crease); holds the flaps in the pocket.

Flap gap

Gap between adjacent flaps or walls; at least about the material thickness.

Ear length (ratio)

Length of the ears or corner flaps as a proportion of half the inside width.

Lid dust flaps (ratio)

Length of the lid dust flaps as a proportion of the inside height.

Dust flap angle

Angle of the dust flaps (also the ears on a mailer); larger angles prevent collisions during folding.

Frequently asked questions

Which dimensions apply to a 30 cm pizza?

The example uses inside dimension 300 × 300 × 40 mm. The designation 30 cm does not replace measuring the topped pizza and required clearance. Check height, rim and insertion on the sample. The catalogue also lists 260, 330 and 400 mm as starting sizes; each size is recalculated rather than scaled.

Does the box need adhesive?

The construction is erected without glue. Ears sit between the double side walls and tabs engage in bottom slots. The starting run therefore lists no glue area. This works only with suitable pocket clearance and locking in the target material. Check on the sample whether the turnovers stay in their intended positions during filling and opening.

Can I disable ventilation slots?

Yes, vents switches ventilation in the lid. With ventilation enabled, count, length, width and distance from the hinge determine the row of oblong holes. Constraints limit their extent and preserve bridges. The geometry does not simulate steam transport; assess the effect on the packaged pizza with actual filling and transport duration.
