Abstract

The present invention provides an easily disposable box that may also be used as a leftover storage container particularly well suited for pizza. In the most preferred embodiment, a pull-tab cord design is used as the primary means of weakening the box structure for disposal, which facilitates separating the overall box into two halves. The resulting open ends of one or both of the resulting halves may incorporate preformed score lines for folding the open end shut, thereby forming a second closed box structure. One half of the split box structure is sized so that when the open end is folded shut, the closed box is essentially half the volume of the original box. By utilizing a destructive pull-tab design, the integrity of the box is not weakened until the customer chooses to pull the tab in order to dispose of the box or store leftovers.
