Many pizza businesses want their brand to be visible when the box is opened, but printing directly onto custom printed pizza boxes is not the only way to do this. BULKBUY PACKAGING's product description presents Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets as "a great cheap alternative to printing directly onto your pizza boxes": the printed sheet goes inside the box and the pizza sits on top. Customers see your brand message while they eat.

This guide is about the Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 6 Inch. It covers when this approach fits, how to check sizing and paper options, and what you still need to confirm before buying.

Step 1: Decide whether printed sheets suit your needs better than custom printed pizza boxes

The product descriptions point to printed greaseproof sheets in these situations:

  • You change promotions often. The descriptions say printed greaseproof gives you "the flexibility to print short runs and update your marketing and offers on a regular basis." If your offers, seasonal messages or campaigns change, a sheet can be reprinted without changing your boxes.
  • You want branding without reprinting your boxes. The sheet carries the message, so you can keep the boxes you already use.
  • Your audience sees the inside of the box. The brand message shows while the customer is eating, not only on the outside of the packaging.

When this may not be the right choice: if you specifically need branding on the outside of the box, such as for delivery visibility or shelf display, a sheet inside the box does not do that.

Step 2: Match the sheet size to your box size

Each sheet is a square made for one box size. The 6 inch sheet is described as "specifically designed to fit inside 6 inch pizzas boxes." The same product line also lists square sheets for other box sizes:

ProductDescribed fit
Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 6 InchInside 6 inch pizza boxes
Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 7 InchInside 7 inch pizza boxes
Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 8 InchInside 8 inch pizza boxes
Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 9 InchInside 9 inch pizza boxes
Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 10 InchInside 10 inch pizza boxes
Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 12 InchInside 12 inch pizza boxes

The 6 inch sheet only suits a 6 inch box. If your menu has several pizza sizes, choose the matching sheet for each box. Box sizes can be measured differently, so check your box's inside base against the sheet size before ordering a large quantity. The materials do not give tolerances or exact cut dimensions beyond the nominal size.

Step 3: Choose the paper option

According to the product descriptions, BULKBUY PACKAGING produces and prints greaseproof paper sheets in two options:

  1. Kraft sheets – 60gsm natural greaseproof paper
  2. White – 40gsm natural greaseproof paper

The deciding factors are mainly appearance and weight. The kraft option is the heavier 60gsm paper with a natural kraft look. The white option is a lighter 40gsm paper. The materials do not compare grease resistance, print quality or performance between the two. If those differences matter to you, ask for a sample or a proof before ordering in volume.

The descriptions say both printed greaseproof papers are "biodegradable and compostable papers" and that they are "freezer proof, oven proof and microwave proof." The materials do not give temperature limits, test methods or certifications. If your market or customers need documented compostability or food-contact compliance, ask for the relevant documents before you buy. Do not assume they exist.

Step 4: Prepare your artwork

The descriptions set out two artwork routes:

  • Send your logo. The design team will create the artwork and email it back for you to review. The descriptions say to "allow a little extra time for this."
  • Supply your own artwork. You can email finished artwork after purchase.

Either way, a free PDF proof is supplied for your approval before printing starts. If you plan to update your offers regularly, set aside time to review a proof for each new design.

Step 5: Configure the order and check the price

On the product page, you select the sheet size, quantity and printing options. The price is then displayed, and you can add the order to your basket or request a quote.

Quick selection checklist

  • Does inside-the-box branding meet your goal, or do you need print on the outside of the box?
  • Is your box a 6 inch box? If not, pick the matching size (7, 8, 9, 10 or 12 inch).
  • Kraft 60gsm or white 40gsm: which suits your brand look?
  • Will you send a logo for design (allow extra time) or your own finished artwork?
  • Have you approved the free PDF proof?
  • Have you confirmed price, quantity, delivery and any compliance documents your market needs?

Where the 8 inch option fits

If your most common box is 8 inch rather than 6 inch, the Pizza Box Printed Greaseproof Sheets. 8 Inch follows the same description: a square sheet designed to fit inside 8 inch pizza boxes, with the same kraft 60gsm and white 40gsm paper options and the same artwork and proof process.

Printed greaseproof sheets are best seen as a flexible, short-run branding layer that works with your existing boxes. They do not replace custom printed pizza boxes in every case. Pick the size that matches your box, choose the paper that suits your brand, and confirm commercial and compliance details before placing a large order.
