Would it not look better and more appetizing if pizza is served in a round box?
There is no doubt that pizza is one of the most popular street foods. Don’t believe us, try asking a stranger walking down the street about his favourite foods and we guarantee that pizza would be one of them. We have all experimented with pizzas, their sizes, flavours, crusts, and toppings. We have debated a lot about the presence of fruits especially pineapples on pizza but the thing we should be wondering is why pizza which is round in shape (mostly) is served in a square box. Let us find out.
Easy to manufacture
Let us first talk about the manufacturing benefits of a square box. We have to understand that square boxes are comparatively easier to make and not to forget quite cheaper. Why is that? Because a square box can be made from a single cardboard sheet. And it is quite useful when pizza boxes are just flat pieces of cardboard because they are quite easy to store. So, when someone orders a pizza, these flat, easy-to-store pieces of cardboard can be folded into handy pizzas boxes. They are also much more stable than a round box and can be used to store leftover pizza in the refrigerator.
Easy to transport and store
We have already talked about the benefits of a square storage box and how it is quite easier to store. So, let us give a round box his much-needed chance and see what goes on in making a round box. Manufacturers would tell you that a lot goes on in the making of a round box. And not only does it require a lot of work at the manufacturing stage, but it would also be difficult to make the box at the site to serve the pizza. These boxes would also be more expensive and pizza place owners have to revamp their storage space to store all these round boxes.
It would also require a lot of special machinery
The trouble does not end here, the round box would need at least four separate sections in the manufacturing unit. And at last, would require special machinery to be pressed together. That sure looks like a lot of work and resources when consumers would throw this box in the bin at the end of your meal.
So, isn’t that a fun thing to talk about with your friends at your next get-together?
