Custom White Pizza Boxes That Show Your Logo Clearly

Printing Bright Logos on Custom White Pizza Boxes

Most pizza boxes are printed on the lid only, and for many brands one or two colours look strongest: a bold logo, a phone number or web address and perhaps a strapline. Fewer colours also keep the cost down on large volumes. If your identity relies on full colour illustration, we print in CMYK across the lid and sides.

Side printing is underused. When boxes are stacked on a counter or in a delivery bag, the sides are what people actually see. A repeating logo band or your order line along the front edge makes stacked boxes look like a branded wall rather than a pile of anonymous cardboard.

The inside of the lid is another place to talk to customers. It is the first thing they see when they open the box, which makes it a good spot for a reorder QR code, a loyalty stamp area or a short thank-you. The print and finish comparison guide explains spot colours versus CMYK.

• Lid: logo, phone number, web address
• Sides: repeating brand band for stacked boxes
• Inner lid: QR code, loyalty message or thanks
• Keep vent positions clear of key artwork

Sizing by Pizza Diameter

Pizza boxes are sized by the diameter of the pizza in inches, a habit the whole trade uses even in the UK, but we cut and quote in millimetres. A box needs a little room around the pizza so cheese does not stick to the walls, so a 12 inch pizza, roughly 305 mm across, normally goes in a box with an internal size around 315 mm square.

Depth is usually around 40 to 45 mm for thin and medium bases. Deep pan, stuffed crust and pizzas with tall toppings need 50 mm or more, otherwise the lid presses on the cheese. If you sell several sizes, it is worth checking the depth for each one, because a deep-pan small and a thin-crust large may need different heights.

Rectangular pizzas, such as Roman-style al taglio slabs or Detroit-style pans, need rectangular boxes cut to the tray size rather than a standard square. Send us the tray dimensions and how many portions go in each box, and we will size the base and lid so the slices sit flat without sliding into a heap at one end during the journey. Slices sold by the piece go in our printed pizza slice boxes.

Keeping White Boxes Looking White

The obvious worry with a white box is marks. Oil, sauce and fingerprints show more on white than on brown. In practice, a grease-resistant inner coating, a pizza box liner or a slip of greaseproof paper under the pizza keeps most oil away from the outer face. Matt varnish over the print helps hide fingerprints and light scuffs from delivery bags.

Store flat boxes in a dry area away from the oven. Steam and flour dust settle on stacks left near the prep line, and white board shows that more readily. Fold boxes just before service rather than hours ahead, and keep a few spare bundles wrapped in their shrink film until needed.

If marks still worry you, choose a design with a coloured band or pattern near the edges, where hands hold the box. Small smudges disappear into the print there, and the white centre stays clean.

Who Orders White Pizza Boxes

Independent pizzerias wanting to stand apart from chains, street food traders with a wood-fired van, restaurants adding a takeaway menu, dark kitchens building a delivery-only brand, pubs serving pizza alongside their usual menu and frozen pizza producers selling at farmers' markets all use them. Event caterers also choose white boxes for weddings and corporate parties where brown boxes would look out of place on a buffet table.

Dessert pizzas, flatbreads, focaccia and tarte flambée fit the same box style, so one design can cover more of your menu than you might think. Kitchens with a classic brown look can choose standard custom pizza boxes instead.

Getting Your Boxes Made

Tell us the pizza sizes you sell, the quantity of each, how many print colours you need and whether you want side or inside print. You will receive a custom quote by email within one working day. Prices start from £0.25 per box on simple builds, and minimums are low and quoted per job, which helps new pizzerias that are still settling their menu.

We send a free design proof showing the lid, sides and vent positions. The production window is 4–7 working days once the proof is approved, and free tracked delivery to the UK mainland adds 2–3 working days. Boxes are delivered flat in bundles, ready to fold. If any white pizza boxes turn up misprinted or damaged, tell us within 10 days and we will reprint or refund them.
