History and Recycling of Square Pizza Box

Square Pizza Box is a folding box made of cardboard in which hot pizza is stored for takeout. Square Pizza Box also greatly simplifies the process of home delivery and takeout. The Square Pizza Box had to be highly durable, inexpensive, stackable, insulated to regulate humidity, and suitable for food transport. Also, it offers ad space. The packaging of the pizza is different from the packaging of frozen pizza, which contains the frozen product in heat-sealed plastic foil, like many frozen meals. Next, let's take a look at the history and recycling of Square Pizza Box.

A brief history of Square Pizza Box.

Containers for delivering freshly baked pizza have been around since at least the 19th century when pizza bakers in Naples placed their produce in multi-layered metal containers called stuff and sent them to street vendors. Inflatable containers are round and made of tin or copper. Single-use packaging began to develop in the United States, after World War II. That's when pizza became more and more popular, and the first pizza delivery service came into being. At first, they tried shipping pizzas in simple cardboard boxes, similar to those used in cake shops, but these often got wet, bent, or even snapped in half. Other pizza chefs have tried putting pizza on a plate and shipping it in a paper bag. This partially solved the problem. However, it is nearly impossible to transport more than one pizza in one bag. That way, the pizza on top will ruin the surface of the other pizzas. The first patent application for the corrugated-board Square Pizza Box was in 1963, and it already exhibited the characteristics of today's pizza packaging: flat blanks, foldability without adhesive, stackability, and ventilation slots. The combination of such troughs and water vapor absorbing materials (absorbents) prevents the accumulation of moisture that is characteristic of traditional shipping packaging. Brand historians believe the Square Pizza Box was invented by Domino's Pizza, even though they didn't file a patent application. Until 1988, the hamburger box was a package in which the front was not directly connected to the sides, but the flaps attached to the sides were folded inwardly under the lid. This design is also known as the "Chicago Fold".

Reuse and recycling of Square Pizza Box.

A variation of the traditional cardboard Square Pizza Box is the reusable box. Made from recycled plastic, it comes in a round or square shape and is available in a variety of vented lids. They can be hand washed, dishwasher safe, or used repeatedly with commercial cleaners. One advantage of this new variation is that corrugated cardboard does not absorb odors. Another variant is a biodegradable or compostable box, mostly made of sugar cane, bamboo, or plant material. As with its cardboard counterparts, there are multiple variations on the market. Most variations of the Square Pizza Box support the same carrying method, stackable and nestable, for unused or enclosed pizzas. There are no known differences when using shipping bags or incubators. Cardboard is usually delivered flat and requires 2 storage areas for unassembled and assembled boxes, while most new variants only require one storage area.
