Abstract
A method for reducing heat loss of hot pizzeria pizza shipped in corrugated box packaging. The method involves placing a recently-cooked pizzeria pizza into a corrugated box having at least one tab-like structure projecting downward from a wall structure of the box and extending beyond a bottom edge of a wall panel by a distance of at least nine millimeters when the box is in a fully-erected format, whereby the method solves the problem of a downward-warping bottom panel of a loaded corrugated pizza box coming into contact with a cool support surface underneath the box.
Claims29
A method for reducing heat loss of hot pizzeria pizza shipped in corrugated box packaging, said method comprising the steps of:
- placing a recently-cooked pizza into a thermal-leg-equipped one-piece corrugated box and, thereby, creating a pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box, said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box comprising a bottom panel, a plurality of wall structures including adjacent first and second wall structures attached to said bottom panel at respective first and second fold lines, at least one thermal-leg, a cover, and said pizza, said at least one thermal-leg being a downward projection of said first wall structure and extending beyond a bottom edge of a wall panel by a distance of at least nine millimeters when the box is in a fully-erected format, and
- setting said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box on a cool support surface;
- wherein said bottom panel assumes a downward-warping disposition and, yet, a center point of said bottom panel is disposed above and free of contact with said cool support surface;
- whereby said method solves the problem of a downward-warping bottom panel of a loaded corrugated pizza box coming into contact with a cool support surface underneath the box.
A method for reducing heat loss of hot pizzeria pizza shipped in corrugated box packaging, said method comprising the steps of:
- placing a recently-cooked pizza into a thermal-leg-equipped one-piece corrugated box and, thereby, creating a pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box, said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box comprising a bottom panel free of a projection extending therefrom, a plurality of wall structures including adjacent first and second wall structures attached to said bottom panel at respective first and second fold lines, at least one thermal-leg projecting from one of said first and second wall structures, a cover, and said pizza, and
- setting said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box on a cool support surface;
- wherein said bottom panel assumes a downward-warping disposition and, yet, a center point of said bottom panel is disposed above and free of contact with said cool support surface;
- whereby said method solves the problem of a downward-warping bottom panel of a loaded corrugated pizza box coming into contact with a cool support surface underneath the box.
A method for reducing heat loss of hot pizzeria pizza shipped in corrugated box packaging, said method comprising the steps of:
- placing a recently-cooked pizza into a thermal-leg-equipped one-piece corrugated box and, thereby, creating a pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box, said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box comprising a bottom panel free of an interior opening therein, a plurality of wall structures including adjacent first and second wall structures attached to said bottom panel at respective first and second fold lines, at least one thermal-leg projecting from one of said first and second wall structures, a cover, and said pizza, and
- setting said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box on a cool support surface;
- wherein said bottom panel assumes a downward-warping disposition and, yet, a center point of said bottom panel is disposed above and free of contact with said cool support surface;
- whereby said method solves the problem of a downward-warping bottom panel of a loaded corrugated pizza box coming into contact with a cool support surface underneath the box.
A method for reducing heat loss of hot pizzeria pizza shipped in corrugated box packaging, said method comprising the steps of:
- placing a recently-cooked pizza into a thermal-leg-equipped one-piece corrugated box and, thereby, creating a pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box, said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box being a non-fastened-corner folder-style box comprising a bottom panel free of a projection extending therefrom and free of an interior opening therein, a plurality of wall structures including adjacent first and second wall structures attached to said bottom panel at respective first and second fold lines, at least one thermal-leg, a cover, and said pizza, said at least one thermal-leg being a downward projection of said first wall structure and extending beyond a bottom edge of a wall panel by a distance of at least nine millimeters when the box is in a fully-erected format, and
- setting said pizza-loaded thermal-leg-equipped corrugated box on a cool support surface;
- wherein said bottom panel assumes a downward-warping disposition and, yet, a center point of said bottom panel is disposed above and free of contact with said cool support surface;
- whereby said method solves the problem of a downward-warping bottom panel of a loaded corrugated pizza box coming into contact with a cool support surface underneath the box.
