{"product_id":"black-pizza-boxes","title":"Black Pizza Boxes | Custom Logo Printing for Pizzerias in Canada","description":"\u003carticle\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA greasy stain on a white or kraft pizza box is the first thing a customer notices when the lid comes off — and it makes even a great pizza look like an afterthought. Black pizza boxes solve that problem by design: the dark surface hides grease marks, gives the box a cleaner finish after delivery, and reads as a more premium packaging choice on a shelf or in a delivery bag. For pizzerias competing on brand image as much as on taste, that difference matters. This guide covers what a black pizza box is made of, when it makes sense for your shop, and how to order one with your own logo in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/go.kimecopak.com\/widget\/form\/sLt8TyZwYWYP4qbg79pn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePRE-ORDER | DELIVERY IN 6-10 WEEKS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Pizzerias Are Choosing Black Pizza Boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things drive the switch to black: appearance and practicality. Grease and oil marks are far less visible on a black surface than on white or plain kraft board, so boxes look presentable from prep to doorstep, even after a 30-minute delivery. On the branding side, a black box reads as a deliberate, upscale choice — it works particularly well for gourmet, artisan, or premium-positioned pizza brands that want to stand apart from the standard plain-kraft look most competitors use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is printing: light-coloured logos and text show up more clearly on black stock than dark ones do, so artwork needs to be planned with that contrast in mind before you send your logo file for a design mockup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Pizza Box Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCase of 100 pcs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e350–400 gsm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e12 x 12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSquare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCorrugated cardboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompartments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eMicrowavable, recyclable, stackable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA note on recycling:\u003c\/em\u003e the corrugated cardboard itself is recyclable, but once a box is heavily soaked with oil, most Canadian municipal recycling programs ask you to put it in the green\/compost bin instead — wet, greasy cardboard can contaminate a recycling batch.
