Custom Pizza Bags

Custom pizza bags are sturdy, grease-resistant paper carriers built to hold hot pizza boxes upright while carrying your pizzeria brand from oven to doorstep. A flimsy bag that soaks through with grease ruins the handoff before the first slice. At Apexio Packaging, we make custom pizza bags in the USA from food-grade greaseproof kraft, with reinforced bases and strong handles that keep stacked boxes level and warm. With zero MOQ, free design, a free 3D mockup and free US shipping, you can order a single branded sample or a full wholesale run and get the same leak-resistant, heat-friendly build.

What Are Custom Pizza Bags?

Custom pizza bags are food-grade paper carry bags shaped to hold one or more pizza boxes, fitted with handles and a reinforced flat base. Built for hot, greasy pies, they use greaseproof kraft paper, a strong bottom and twisted or flat handles that carry the weight of stacked boxes without tearing. The tall, upright shape keeps boxes level so cheese does not slide, and the printed panels turn every delivery into brand exposure. The result protects the pizza, speeds up handoff and markets your pizzeria on every route.

Which Food Businesses Use Pizza Bags

Pizza bags suit any kitchen that sends hot pies out for delivery or carryout. Pizzerias, Italian restaurants and fast-food outlets use them daily, while food trucks, cloud kitchens and caterers rely on the reinforced base for multi-box orders. Delivery-only brands add printed handles for shelf presence inside the courier bag. Many pair them with our custom food packaging bags for a matched takeaway range.

Pizza Bag Sizes and Capacity

Bags are cut to any size, and the chart shows the most requested dimensions with the box loads they carry.

Bag size (W x G x H)	Fits / capacity	Common use
8 x 4 x 12 in	Single 8-10 in box, ~2 lb	Personal pizza order
14 x 6 x 16 in	One 12-14 in box, ~4 lb	Standard delivery pie
18 x 7 x 20 in	Stacked 16-18 in boxes, ~8 lb	Large or multi-box order
Custom	Any box stack	Bespoke pizzeria sizing

These are common starting points, not limits. We size the bag around your pizza boxes, widen the gusset for stacked orders and reinforce the base for weight, so boxes stay level and the handles never tear on the walk to the car.

Materials for Custom Pizza Bags

Custom pizza bags use food-grade greaseproof paper chosen for oil resistance, strength and an eco or premium look.

Material	Typical weight	Best for
Greaseproof kraft (brown)	90-120 gsm	Natural, oil-resistant look
White greaseproof paper	100-140 gsm	Bright full-colour print
Insulated laminated paper	120-150 gsm	Heat retention on delivery
Recycled kraft	90-120 gsm	Sustainability-first pizzerias

Brown greaseproof kraft gives the natural pizzeria look and blocks oil, white greaseproof paper prints the sharpest for bold branding, and insulated laminated paper helps hold heat on longer routes. Every stock is food-grade, and FSC-certified and recycled options are available for sustainability-first pizzerias.

Printing Methods: Flexo, Offset and Digital

We print pizza bags by three methods, chosen by run size, artwork and deadline.

Printing method	Best for	Main strength
Flexographic	High-volume kraft runs	Fast, cost-effective at scale
Offset / litho-lam	Detailed retail-grade art	Sharpest full-colour detail
Digital	Short runs and samples	No plates, quick and affordable

Flexo prints large kraft runs at the lowest cost, offset delivers the crispest detail for photo-led branding, and digital keeps a single sample or seasonal batch fast and plate-free. Tell us the quantity and artwork and we recommend the most cost-effective route free.

Colour Options: CMYK, PMS and RGB

Custom pizza bags print in CMYK and match exact Pantone (PMS) brand colours, while RGB stays for on-screen design.

Colour system	Use it for	Note
CMYK	Full-colour art, gradients, photos	Standard four-colour print
PMS (Pantone)	Exact logo and brand colours	Identical shade on every reprint
RGB	On-screen design and previews	Convert to CMYK before printing

CMYK reproduces full-colour logos and imagery, while Pantone (PMS) matching locks your signature red or green so every reorder stays consistent. RGB is screen-only, so we convert and confirm it on your proof. Our CMYK, PMS and RGB colour guide explains it in plain terms.

Finishes and Coatings

Finishes protect the print and set the feel, from clean uncoated kraft to a durable coated surface.

Finish	Effect	Best for
Uncoated kraft	Natural, recyclable look	Eco pizzeria branding
Aqueous coating	Light protective seal	Everyday pizza bags
Matte / gloss lamination	Durable, wipeable surface	Premium restaurant bags
Spot UV	Glossy logo accent	Highlighting the brand

Most pizza bags stay uncoated or aqueous-coated for a clean, recyclable finish, while a laminated or spot-UV logo lifts premium branding. We keep any food-contact surface food-safe.

Handles, Closures and Add-Ons

Handles and add-ons decide how the bag carries heavy boxes and keeps hot pizza secure.

Option	What it does	Best for
Twisted paper handle	Comfortable, glued-in carry	Standard pizza bags
Flat paper handle	Strong, low-cost carry	High-volume delivery
Reinforced flat bottom	Keeps boxes upright	Stacked multi-box orders
Ventilation holes	Lets steam escape	Crisp, hot crusts
Insulated liner	Holds heat in transit	Long delivery routes

Twisted and flat handles carry the load, a reinforced base keeps boxes level, and vent holes or an insulated liner manage steam and heat. We match handle strength to the rated load so nothing tears on the way out. Ready to brand your delivery boxes?

Food-Safe Custom Pizza Bags

Every pizza bag uses food-grade paper and coatings so hot, greasy pies travel safely. We build to food-contact standards and follow FDA food-contact guidance, so the paper, inks and coatings stay safe against hot and oily food. For pizzerias building a full set, our custom food boxes match the bags for a consistent experience from box to carry bag.

Our Quality Review Before Production

We review every pizza bag for handle strength, base fold, print and food safety before it ships.
