A unique pizza box apparatus and methods of forming and using said pizza box are disclosed. The pizza box is formed with an additional plate pocket for receiving plates therein. The pocket is connected to an inside surface of the pizza box lid and expands a distance less than that of the depth of the pizza box. On the pizza box lid is a cut or perforated plate pocket lid with a living hinge on one end and a lid tab on a substantially opposite end for grabbing and rotatably opening the plate pocket lid with respect to the pizza box lid. A pizza bumper may further be included within the box to ensure separation between a base of the plate pocket and a pizza once the pizza is placed within the box. Napkins and/or further utensils may also be placed within the plate pocket if so desired.

The invention provides a foldable box connection structure, a foldable box and a method of using the same. The foldable box connection structure comprises a first side plate, a second side plate, a first hinge, a first top plate, a seam cover plate and a positioning plate. The first hinge is used to connect the first top plate and the second side plate. The seam cover plate can be folded to cover the first hinge, and the seam cover plate and the positioning plate are configured to secure the first hinge. The foldable box includes the above-mentioned connection structure. In the present invention, the first top plate is hooked by the first hinge and the seam cover plate, and a second top plate is hooked by a third hinge, so that the foldable box has a fixed structure. That is, in an expanded configuration, the first top plate and the second top plate are tightly attached to a top of the second side plate to prevent forming gaps between the first top plate and the second side plate, and between the second top plate and the second side plate, which greatly increases the compactness of the box and makes the box have simple and beautiful contour.

A blank used for making a container is disclosed. The blank comprises a first primary panel, a second primary panel, and a secondary panel. The first primary panel is hingedly coupled to a first primary flap. The second primary panel is hingedly coupled to a second primary flap. The secondary panel is hingedly coupled to a secondary flap. The first primary flap comprises a main portion and a tip portion. The main portion is hingedly coupled to a first handle. The tip portion is positioned between the main portion and the first handle. The secondary flap is configured to be positioned between the second primary flap and the main portion when the container is in a box configuration. The tip portion is configured to be positioned between the second primary flap and an interior space of the container when the container is in the box configuration.

A tearable leak-resistant container is provided with creases, partial perforation along selected creases, adhesion of flaps, and a collapsed position to permit rapid reconfiguration to an expanded position. The expanded position of the container enables enhanced filling with food ingredients and transportation without spillage. The adhered flaps provide enhanced leak resistance, and the perforated creases permit disassembly of the container to improve access to the food contained within.
