Design and Development work for special boxes can be very expensive by others. With us, special designs are easy and reasonable! Smaller box mfrs will not do custom boxes; larger mfrs will do but must charge so much for their preparation and mechanical services and even add-on extra profit on top of the already costly work. Check and compare before you make a commitment that may cost thousands of dollars |

Do you know that we use FOOD-SAFE INK on all of our pizza boxes? Yes. We now use a Non-solvent, water-based organic ink. We do are diligent with our work and conscientious with the consumers as well as respect for nature. Food-safe ink is not the only feature we do. We are also developing sources for SOY and CORN-BASED ink. Currently these inks are still expensive but as soon as they are more readily available, we will use them for your boxes. |
