Pizza packaging is to use exquisite pizza boxes. Have you found a few designs of pizza boxes? For example: pizza is round, why is the pizza box square?

Reasons for choosing a square pizza box

1. Fast packaging

In foreign countries, where pizza is regarded as a daily food, merchants receive many orders every minute. In order to avoid customers waiting for a long time, the packaging must be fast. The square box can be quickly packaged as long as it is folded along the crease.

2. Place stability

The stacking of square boxes is more stable than round boxes and can be placed next to each other. During the transportation of the courier’s “fast horse and whip”, fast food will not “slip away” secretly. Also use such little square container to put round food, leaving a gap at the four corners to make it easier to eat.

Standards required for virgin wood pulp (base paper) for pizza box packaging

The pizza box wrapping paper must meet the requirements of the latest Chinese standard GB 4806.8-2016 (launched on April 19, 2017). It clearly stipulates the physical and chemical indicators that the base paper for food contact must meet, including lead and arsenic indicators, formaldehyde and fluorescent substance residue indicators, microbial limits and total migration, potassium permanganate consumption, heavy metals and other mobility indicators.

Pizza box should choose water-based ink flexo printing technology

Flexo printing is unique, flexible, economical, and environmentally friendly. It meets the hygiene standards for food packaging printed matter and is the main printing method for food packaging paper. The water-based ink is a special ink for flexo printing machines. Because of its stable performance, bright colors, environmental protection, no pollution, safety and non-flammability, etc., it is especially suitable for the printing of packaging paper such as food and medicine with strict hygiene requirements.

The pizza box should choose corrugated cardboard as the protective layer

Corrugated cardboard, a thick, rough paper that is corrugated and elastic. Because the packaging container made of corrugated cardboard has its unique properties and advantages for beautifying and protecting the goods inside, it has become one of the main choices of food packaging paper that has developed rapidly and endured so far.

Corrugated cardboard is made by bonding face paper, lining paper, core paper and corrugated paper processed into corrugated paper. According to the needs of commodity packaging, it can be processed into single-layer, 3-layer, 5-layer, 7-layer, 11-layer corrugated cardboard.

Single-layer corrugated cardboard is generally used as a lining protective layer for commodity packaging, or to make lightweight pads, etc., to avoid vibration or collision of commodities during storage and transportation.

3-layer and 5-layer corrugated cardboard are often used in the production of corrugated boxes; while 7-layer or 11-layer corrugated cardboard is mainly used for packaging boxes for electrical machinery, flue-cured tobacco, furniture, motorcycles, and large household appliances.

The pizza box should choose kraft paper as the outer packaging

Kraft paper is paper produced from unbleached softwood kraft pulp. High intensity, usually yellowish-brown. Semi-bleached or fully-bleached kraft pulp is hazel, cream or white.

The wood fiber of coniferous tree is the main raw material for making kraft paper, and the fiber of this tree is relatively long. In order not to damage the toughness of the fiber as much as possible, it is usually treated by caustic soda and alkali sulfide chemicals. Closely dependent on each other, the toughness and firmness of the wood fiber itself can be well maintained, so the strength of the kraft paper produced is much higher than that of ordinary paper, and it is more durable.

Due to its unique color and environmental protection properties, as well as strong physical properties, kraft paper packaging boxes are very popular in the packaging industry, and the development trend is also very strong.
