Packaging is all products made of any material intended to surround, store and protect goods for the purpose of handling, delivering or presenting the goods on the way from the manufacturer to the end user.
The aim of the diploma thesis was to make packaging for Neapolitan-style pizza. The goal was to produce packaging that will be more ecological than classic pizza packaging, and through the process to learn about the characteristics of cardboard packaging and to learn about the importance of ecological design.
The thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part, is presented in general about packaging and food packaging, paper and cardboard used for packaging in the food industry, ecological design and the characteristics of pizza packaging.
In the experimental part, were compared, four different sellers of pizza packaging and made analysis of the materials of two different corrugated cardboard samples. Measurements of the basic properties of the material, measurements of edge resistance and flat crush resistance were carried out. The results of the measurements helped in the selection of corrugated cardboard for the production of packaging. We used corrugated cardboard with E flute.
The planning and design of the packaging was done in Adobe Illustrator. The packaging was printed with a UV printer and cut with a CNC cutter.
The packaging made of corrugated cardboard has a simple shape, suitable for pizza and has an additional function. It can be used as a tray and folded to store pizza.
