Q. Why is pizza contained in a cardboard box?

Answer

The majority of the packaging that is used for transporting pizzas is made of cardboard since it is inexpensive, simple to work with, and lightweight while yet keeping the structural integrity to hold and distribute pizzas. In this case, we make use of both single-wall corrugated board and solid fiber board. It is the job of the pizza box to ensure that a cooked pizza is transported with the least amount of quality loss as is humanly possible. This indicates that the box is responsible for completing two distinct activities that are difficult to combine: In order to maintain the temperature of the pizza, the box, on the one hand, should provide as much insulation as possible against the chilly air that is found outside, the occasional wind, and heat radiation. The lid of the box has to be sealed as tightly as possible in order to trap as much of the warm air as possible within.
