Custom Pizza Boxes That Protect, Impress, and Promote Your Brand

Get custom pizza boxes designed to keep your pizzas hot, fresh, and visually striking. At Staysure Packaging, we offer food-safe boxes in kraft, white, or full-color print with low minimum orders, free dielines, and optional design support. Perfect for takeout, events, catering, and wholesale, our boxes turn every delivery into a brand experience.

Why Custom Pizza Boxes Matter

Your pizza box is often the first physical interaction customers have with your brand. A plain, generic box can feel forgettable, while a branded custom box:

• Increases perceived quality — a well-designed box makes customers think the food inside is premium

• Acts as mobile advertising — boxes are carried out, displayed at home, and shared on social media

• Builds brand recall and loyalty — customers repeatedly see your logo and messaging

• Promotes upsells — print coupons, QR codes, or menu items directly on the box

• Differentiates you from local competitors

Investing in smart packaging can boost repeat orders and enhance your brand presence.

Materials and Construction

A high-quality pizza box must balance insulation, durability, and grease resistance. Our options include:

Materials & Flutes

• Corrugated cardboard (single-wall) is standard.

• B-flute provides extra strength; E-flute gives a smoother print surface.

• Double-wall available for larger or heavy pizzas.

Grease Resistance & Food Safety

• Food-grade coatings prevent oil and moisture penetration.

• Water-based, soy-based, or FDA-compliant inks are safe for direct food contact.

• Vent holes help release steam and maintain crust crispness.

Ease of Use

• Engineered lids fold back for easy access to pizza.

• Structural design keeps boxes sturdy during transit.

Standard Pizza Box Sizes

Tips: Match box size to pizza diameter and thickness. Custom sizes available for novelty or deep-dish pizzas.
