I need a pizza box with a custom logo as a prop for a movie I'm making. Anybody have any ideas how I should go about doing this? (I already unsucessfully tried printing it on regualy paper then gluing it to a pizza hut box).

That's tough. Getting it printed on a single sheet from a wide-format printer would cost about $30-$40 I think.

Maybe you could paint the box white with flat paint, and then use a stencil or something?

I could give you some graphics places in hollywood that can do that. But you'll be paying a premium price.

Have you considered finding a blank pizza box and doing a stencil or silk screen setup? For the price of a hollywood graphics custom designed pizza box, you could spend a tank of gas finding a pizza place with no-name boxes, buy all the supplies you would need, and an extra large pizza to go into the pizza box.

It seems pretty dumb to make a pizza box when you can get a no-name one that says 'Hot Pizza' or something similar. Look for some local pizza shops, not Papa John's, etc. who have their own boxes.

If you would take notice to my first post I needed a pizza box that has a custom logo on it. Meaning I would make a logo for it. I think I will just end up painting it white and the stenciling it. Thanks for the help.

Look into getting a blank box and get someone that does vinyl graphics and banners to cut your design out in vinyl. It applies like a sticker using a mini squeegee, and vinyl is dirt cheap. (My friends mom has her own business and makes vinyl stuff etc.)
