Pizza Box Guides
Plain answers to the questions shops ask before ordering boxes. Each guide covers one choice, from size to board to print.
Pizza Box Sizes in Inches and mmStandard UK takeaway box sizes from 7 to 16 inch, in inches and millimetres, and how to pick the right one.
E-Flute vs B-Flute Pizza BoxesHow the two corrugated boards differ in thickness, print and heat hold, and which suits each size.
Printing Your Logo on a Pizza BoxArtwork, colours, print on white or kraft board, and what the free proof shows you before anything is printed.
Keeping Pizza Hot and Crisp in DeliveryBoard, vents, liners and stacking: what the box can do to keep a pizza hot and stop the base going soft.
Choosing Boxes for Slices, Calzone and Frozen PizzaSlice boxes, long boxes for calzone and flatbread, and printed retail cartons for frozen pizza.Which guide should you read first?
Start with size. The pizza box sizes in inches and mm guide matches each pizza to its box, in both units.
Then pick your board. E-flute is thinner and folds fast, while B-flute has a thicker wall for longer delivery runs. If you sell slices, calzone or frozen pizza, read the guide on those shapes next.
How the guides help you plan a box order
Each guide helps you settle one detail your quote needs: size, board, colour or print. Note your answers as you read.
Once you have them, design your pizza box online to see your logo on a lid. Send it and we reply by email within one working day.
Questions
Are the pizza box guides written for UK shops?
Yes. They use UK pizza sizes in inches and millimetres and cover UK mainland delivery.
Which guide explains the difference between E-flute and B-flute?
The E-flute vs B-flute guide compares the two boards. It covers thickness, folding and how each suits delivery or counter sales.
Which guide helps with logo files and print colours?
Printing Your Logo on a Pizza Box covers file types, one colour against full colour, and where print can go on the box.
Is there a guide for slice boxes and calzone boxes?
Yes. Choosing Boxes for Slices, Calzone and Frozen Pizza covers the shapes that do not fit a square box.
What should I decide before asking for a pizza box quote?
Your pizza sizes, the quantity of each, the board colour and whether you want print. A logo file helps if you want printed boxes.
How far ahead should I plan a pizza box order?
Allow one working day for the quote and time to approve the proof. Then add 4 to 6 working days to make the boxes and 2 to 3 working days for delivery.
How do I judge the size of my first box order?
Base it on a few weeks of sales for each size. Flat boxes stack neatly beside the oven, so a slightly larger first order rarely gets in the way.
Should I order plain boxes while printed ones are made?
It can help a new shop. Plain white or brown kraft boxes let you trade while your printed proof is checked and approved.
Does a guide cover keeping pizza hot on the way to the customer?
Yes. Keeping Pizza Hot and Crisp in Delivery covers board choice, stacking in the bag and letting steam escape.
