  • Publication number: 20060208046
    Abstract: A pizza box comprises a container having an assembled state as a box and an unassembled state as a flat sheet, wherein in the assembled state a top portion and a bottom portion of the box define a generally polygon shaped enclosure including at least one diagonal side. The pizza box also comprises means for generating a visual perception of higher volume of contents within the pizza box via increasing a horizontal surface area of the box external to the generally polygon shaped enclosure that contains a pizza pie. Variations of the pizza box comprise flap structures and reciprocating slots for securely fastening the top portion relative to the bottom portion as well as structures for maintaining continuous display of printed matter whether the box is open or closed via pivotal movement of the top portion relative to the bottom portion.
