Custom Pizza Boxes Without a Custom Print Run

If you want custom pizza boxes but don't want to commit to a custom print run, start with stock printed boxes: Packery carries Brown Printed boxes in 9, 11, 13 and 15 inch and White Printed boxes in 10 and 15 inch, sold by the carton with no minimum order. Pair them with plain brown or white boxes (7 to 15 inch) to cover the sizes the printed range doesn't, then add a logo later through custom printing if the shop grows into it.

Key takeaways

• Stock printed boxes give a finished, branded-looking box straight off the shelf: Brown Printed in 9, 11, 13 and 15 inch; White Printed in 10 and 15 inch.
• In the brown range, the printed and plain boxes of the same size are listed at the same carton price and price per item.
• Plain brown boxes run from 7 to 15 inch; plain white boxes come in 9, 11, 13 and 15 inch.
• Pick one colour family (brown or white) and stick with it across every size so the counter and delivery bags look consistent.
• For your own logo, the plain boxes are the ones marked for custom printing. Ask through /custom-print or /contact.

Can I get a branded-looking pizza box without a custom print run?

Yes. A stock printed box already carries a print design, so it looks finished on the counter and in a delivery bag without any artwork from you. Packery's printed range is corrugated board, colour listed as Multi, in Brown Printed 9, 11, 13 and 15 inch and White Printed 10 and 15 inch.

What a stock print can't do is carry your shop name. One practical approach: printed boxes for a polished look now, and a logo box once the menu has settled. Because every box is sold by the carton with no minimum order, you can trial a printed size without tying up storage space.

What's the difference between printed and plain pizza boxes?

The printed boxes carry a stock design and the plain boxes don't. Both are corrugated board, and in the 13in brown size the printed version costs a little more than the plain. The 13in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 100) is $44.57 per carton, $0.45 each, and the plain 13in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100) is $41.08 per carton, $0.41 each.

The other practical difference is logo printing. In the catalogue, the plain brown and white boxes are marked as available for custom printing, while the stock printed boxes are not. If you expect to add your own logo later, the plain box in your chosen colour is the one you'll eventually print on.

Printed and plain pizza boxes compared

The 15 inch boxes come in cartons of 50, while the smaller sizes come in cartons of 100. Plain brown is also available in 9, 11, 13 and 15 inch, at the same carton prices as the matching Brown Printed sizes.

How do I keep one look across every pizza size?

Choose your colour family first, then fill the size gaps from the plain boxes in that same colour. The brown range is the easier one to keep consistent: Brown Printed covers 9, 11, 13 and 15 inch, and plain brown fills in 7 and 10 inch, so a full brown menu runs from 7 to 15 inch in the same brown corrugated board.

White is narrower. White Printed covers 10 and 15 inch, and plain white covers 9, 11, 13 and 15 inch, with no white 7 inch box in the range. If your menu includes a kids' or personal 7 inch pizza, brown is the simpler way to keep one look end to end.

A few habits help a mixed printed-and-plain setup look deliberate:

• Keep one colour. Don't mix brown and white boxes on the same order; the colour change reads as a mismatch more than the print does.
• Print where it's seen most. Put the printed box on your top-selling size and use plain for the sizes ordered less often.
• Use a stamp or label on plain sizes. A shop stamp or label on the plain boxes ties them back to the printed ones without a print run.

Which one should I buy?

Match the box to how you trade:

• Takeaway pizzeria with a standard small/medium/large menu: go brown printed across the board with the 11in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 100), the 13in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 100) and the 15in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 50) for family sizes.
• Café or bar adding a small pizza menu: the 9in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 100) gives a printed look at a single-serve size, with the plain 7in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100) for kids' or snack pizzas.
• Venue that wants a clean white look: use the 10in Serving Container – White Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 100) and the 15in Serving Container – White Pizza Box Printed (Carton of 50), and fill other sizes from the plain white boxes.
• Shop planning its own logo box: start on the plain box in your chosen colour, such as the 13in Serving Container – Brown Pizza Box (Carton of 100), because the plain boxes are the ones marked for custom printing. Then talk to us through /custom-print or /contact about adding your logo.
