Six simple steps stand between your idea and stunning custom packaging landing at your doorstep. No guesswork, no stress — just results.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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-color 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.
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-color 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.
We print in full CMYK for photos and artwork and match exact Pantone (PMS) colors for logos, then confirm every color on your digital proof. Our color guide explains CMYK, PMS and RGB in plain terms.
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 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.
