Abstract
At least one sidewall panel of a pizza box blank is provided with at least one removable punch-out section. For disposing of the assembled (inter-folded) pizza box, the punch-out section is removed, and the assembled box is folded in half to diminish a major dimension thereof. Additionally, a series of weakening lines are provided which allow the punched out sidewall panel to deform inwardly, into the assembled box, for further facilitating easy folding for disposal in a trash receptacle.
