Pizza Box FAQ — Ireland

Custom printed pizza box pricing depends on size, quantity, and print type. Full-colour CMYK printing on standard 12" boxes typically starts from around €0.45–€0.65 per unit at 500 units, with lower per-unit costs at higher volumes. Single-colour printing is more economical for budget-conscious operators. Contact PrintNPack for an exact quote based on your size, quantity, and design.

Plain kraft corrugated pizza boxes start from around €0.30–€0.50 per box depending on size and case quantity. Custom printed boxes cost more due to printing setup — expect €0.45–€1.20+ per unit depending on size, colours, and volume. Ordering 1,000+ units significantly reduces the per-box price. Our online quote form gives tailored pricing for your exact requirements.

Custom printed pizza boxes at PrintNPack start from 500 units. This MOQ suits growing takeaways and multi-site restaurants ordering branded packaging in Ireland. Plain kraft pizza boxes have no print minimum — you can order single cases for immediate use while you plan a custom print run.

Yes. We offer tiered pricing on both plain wholesale pizza boxes and custom print runs. Volumes of 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, and 10,000+ units receive progressively lower per-unit rates. Multi-site restaurant groups and franchise operators can contact us for account pricing across regular orders.

Yes. We stock plain kraft corrugated pizza boxes in 7", 9", 10", 12", 14", and 16" sizes with tiered case pricing and fast delivery across Ireland. Plain boxes are ideal for everyday operations, testing new sizes, or bridging supply while a custom print run is in production.

Yes. Our weekly delivery service is available for restaurants and takeaways that need a reliable supply of custom or plain pizza boxes. We establish a regular schedule based on your usage, helping you maintain consistent branding and avoid running out of packaging during busy periods.

Yes. We print full-colour CMYK custom designs on pizza boxes — logos, brand colours, promotional artwork, QR codes, social media handles, and seasonal campaigns. Our free design service prepares professional print-ready artwork from your existing logo or brand guidelines.

We accept vector files (.AI, .EPS, .PDF) for the best results, and high-resolution raster files (.PNG, .JPG) at 300 DPI minimum. Artwork should be in CMYK colour mode with a 3mm bleed beyond the trim line. If you only have a logo or low-res file, our design team can rebuild it at no extra cost.

Yes. Every custom pizza box order includes free professional design support. Our team prepares print-ready artwork from your logo, adjusts colours for CMYK printing, and sends a digital proof for approval before production begins. Unlimited revisions are included until you sign off.

Yes. Inside printing is available on custom pizza boxes — ideal for promotional messages, loyalty offers, QR codes linking to your menu or review page, and "share your pizza" social media prompts. Inside printing adds impact at the moment customers open the box.

Absolutely. QR codes, Instagram handles, TikTok usernames, and website URLs print clearly on our CMYK boxes. This turns every delivery into a marketing touchpoint — customers can scan to order again, leave a review, or follow your social channels.

Single-colour printing uses one ink (typically black or your brand colour) — it is cost-effective and works well for simple logos and text. Full-colour CMYK printing reproduces photographs, gradients, and multi-colour brand identities with vibrant results. Most Irish restaurants choose CMYK for maximum brand impact.

Start with your logo and brand colours, then decide what to include: restaurant name, phone number, website, social handles, and a tagline. We provide a dieline template showing the printable area, bleed, and safe zones. Upload your artwork via our quote form, or send your logo and let our design team handle the rest.

Common mistakes include: using RGB instead of CMYK colours, submitting low-resolution logos (under 300 DPI), placing text too close to fold lines, and forgetting bleed margins. Thin lines and very small text can lose clarity on corrugated board. Our design team checks all artwork before printing and flags issues during proofing.

We supply pizza boxes from 7" (personal) up to 20" (party size), including 9", 10", 12", 14", 16", and 18". Custom dimensions are available on request for specialty pizzas, Detroit-style rectangular boxes, or unique menu items.

For most Irish takeaways, stock 12" first — it is the core size for standard medium pizzas and everyday orders. Add 14" for large and family orders, especially at weekends. Use 7" or 9" only if you sell personal portions, kids meals, or side-order pizzas. Most operators run 12" and 14" as their primary sizes.

Yes. We accommodate custom dimensions for specialty pizzas, rectangular Detroit-style boxes, deep-dish formats, and unique menu items. Specify your required length, width, and height in the quote form and our team will confirm feasibility and pricing.

Deep-dish and thick-crust pizzas need taller boxes — typically 5cm+ internal height rather than the standard 4.5cm. Our 14" and 16" boxes are available in deeper profiles. Tell us your pizza style when ordering and we will recommend the right depth to prevent crushing during delivery.

Kraft (brown) corrugated boxes have a natural, eco-friendly look and are the standard for most Irish takeaways. White corrugated boxes offer a cleaner canvas for vibrant full-colour printing and a more premium appearance. Both are food-safe, recyclable, and grease-resistant. Custom printing is available on both.

Production typically takes 5–7 business days after artwork approval. Plain wholesale boxes ship faster — often within 2–3 business days. Rush orders may be available for urgent rebrands or new openings; mention your deadline in the quote form.

Yes. PrintNPack delivers pizza boxes to all 26 counties — Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, and nationwide. Based in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, we supply restaurants, pizzerias, ghost kitchens, and takeaways across Ireland.

Rush production may be available depending on current print schedule and order size. Select "ASAP — Rush Order" in our quote form or call us directly. Plain wholesale boxes are the fastest option if you need packaging immediately while custom boxes are in production.

Pizza boxes are shipped flat-packed to save space and reduce shipping costs. Assembly takes seconds — fold along the pre-scored crease lines and tuck the tabs. Flat packing means you can store hundreds of boxes in a small area of your kitchen or storeroom.

Yes. We can produce sample boxes so you can check print quality, colour accuracy, and structural fit before committing to a full run. Sample orders are available at an additional cost. Contact us with your size and design requirements to arrange a sample.

Yes. All our pizza boxes use food-safe corrugated board and food-grade printing inks suitable for direct food contact. Materials meet EU food packaging standards. Boxes are clean, hygienic, and designed to keep pizza fresh and secure during transport.

Yes. Our kraft corrugated pizza boxes are fully recyclable through Irish household and commercial paper recycling streams. Remove any food residue before recycling. Custom printed boxes use recyclable board — check with your local waste provider for commercial recycling arrangements.

Yes. Our corrugated pizza boxes include grease-resistant treatment that prevents oil from soaking through the board during delivery. This maintains structural integrity and keeps your branding looking clean when the box reaches the customer.

Yes. Kraft corrugated pizza boxes are our standard eco-friendly option — made from renewable materials and fully recyclable. We also offer unbleached kraft board for operators who want a natural, sustainable brand image without plastic coatings.

Corrugated cardboard provides natural insulation that helps retain heat during delivery. Our boxes are designed with appropriate ventilation to prevent sogginess while keeping pizzas warm. For maximum heat retention, close the box promptly and use insulated delivery bags for longer journeys.

Custom pizza boxes are one of the most cost-effective marketing tools for takeaways. Every delivery advertises your brand to the customer and anyone who sees the box. Branded packaging increases perceived quality, encourages social media sharing, and builds recognition in your delivery area. At 500+ units, the per-box branding cost is typically less than a single flyer.

Ghost kitchens and delivery-only brands rely entirely on packaging for brand identity. Invest in distinctive full-colour CMYK boxes with your logo, brand colours, QR code for reorders, and social handles. Since customers never see your premises, the box is your primary brand touchpoint.

Yes. Many new restaurants order custom pizza boxes for their launch — often featuring grand opening offers, discount codes, or "welcome" messaging. Order 4–6 weeks before opening to allow time for design, proofing, and production. We can include launch promotions in your box artwork.

Start with plain kraft boxes if you need packaging immediately on a tight budget. Move to custom printed boxes once you have confirmed your menu sizes and branding — typically within the first 1–3 months. Many startups run plain boxes while their custom design is in production, then switch to branded packaging for the long term.
