Wholesale Pizza Boxes in Australia: Pre-Order Checklist

Before you place a wholesale pizza box order in Australia, check five things on every listing: the inch size and its millimetre dimensions, brown or white board, stock-printed or plain, units per carton, and the price per item. Then split the order across sizes in the same proportions your shop actually sells, so no single size runs out first.

Key takeaways

• Read the millimetre size, not just the inch label. All boxes in the range are 40mm deep, and the two 15in white boxes are listed at slightly different dimensions.
• Check units per carton. The 15in boxes come in cartons of 50; the 7in to 13in boxes come in cartons of 100.
• At 9in, 11in, 13in and 15in, the stock-printed brown box and the plain brown box are listed at the same carton price.
• The plain boxes are the ones listed as available for custom printing with your logo.
• Use your own sales records by size to decide how many cartons of each to order.

What size information should I check on each listing?

Check both the inch label and the box dimensions in millimetres. The millimetre figure tells you whether the box fits your heat bag and your shelf.

The range runs from the 7in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100) at 180x180x40mm up to the 15in boxes at 383x383x40mm. One detail worth catching: the 15in Serving Container – White Pizza Box (Carton of 50) is listed at 380x380x40mm, while the 15in Serving Container – White Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 50) is listed at 383x383x40mm. If you stack white boxes in a fixed-width rack, confirm the listed size before you switch between the two.

The 10in size sits between 9in and 11in and comes as the 10in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100) at 256x256x40mm, or as a stock-printed white box.

Brown or white board: what is the difference on the listing?

Every box in the range is corrugated board, so the choice between brown and white is about presentation rather than material. Brown boxes are listed in Brown, white boxes are listed as White+Brown, and the stock-printed boxes are listed as Multi.

On price, plain white costs a little more than plain brown at 11in, 13in and 15in, while at 9in white is cheaper ($0.28 each against $0.31 for brown). For example, the 13in Serving Container – White Pizza Box (Carton of 100) is $46.19 per carton ($0.46 each), against $41.08 per carton ($0.41 each) for the 13in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100). White suits a lighter look for catering; brown keeps the per-item cost down on high-volume nights.

Stock-printed or plain: which should I pick?

Pick stock-printed if you want a box that looks finished without arranging your own artwork; pick plain if you plan to add a logo or a sticker. The stock-printed brown boxes are listed at the same carton price as the plain brown boxes at 9in, 11in, 13in and 15in, so at those sizes the decision is about appearance, not cost.

The plain boxes are the ones listed as available for custom printing. Custom printing with your logo is available on selected products, and you can see what is involved on the custom print page. The stock-printed boxes are not listed for custom printing, so if a logo is on your plan for later, start with plain.

How many units are in each carton?

The 15in boxes come in cartons of 50, and every other size (7in, 9in, 10in, 11in and 13in) comes in cartons of 100. Packery sells by the carton, and each product page shows the carton price and the price per item.

This matters when you compare listings. The 15in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 50) is $26.13 per carton, which is $0.52 each. Compare listings on the price per item, not the carton price.

How do I split one order across sizes?

Use your own sales mix. Pull the last few weeks of sales by pizza size from your point-of-sale system, rank the sizes from most sold to least sold, and order cartons in roughly the same order.

A few practical points when you do this:

• Remember the carton counts differ. A carton of 15in boxes holds 50, so your large size may need more cartons than its share of sales suggests.
• Keep one board colour per size where you can. One colour per size keeps the shelf simple and makes the next reorder easier to count.
• Add the small sizes you only use now and then, such as 7in for kids' meals or garlic bread, as a single carton rather than leaving them off the order.

Which one should I buy?

• Busy takeaway or delivery shop: plain brown in your core sizes, such as the 11in Packaging – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100) and the 13in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100). Plain leaves room for a logo sticker or custom print later.
• Shop that wants a finished look without artwork: the 13in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 100), listed at the same carton price as the plain brown 13in.
• Family-size and share pizzas: the 15in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 50).
• Restaurants, caterers and food trucks wanting a lighter presentation: the 13in Serving Container – White Pizza Box (Carton of 100).
• Small pizzas, sides and kids' menus: the 7in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100) or the 9in Packaging – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100).
