# Ventilated Pizza Boxes The VENTiT Pizza Box Prevents Sogginess and Keeps Food Hotter By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-01-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ventit References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/01/pizza-box-redesign.html) & [ventit.in](http://www.ventit.in/product/product.asp) The VENTiT pizza box implements an incredibly simple solution to improve [pizza deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glp1friendly-pizza). VENTiT creator Vinay Mehta holds the Guiness World Record for having the largest collection of pizza boxes — since 2009, he’s collected over 650 of them. Mehta used his incredible pizza box collection to build a better box after realizing that [steam trapped inside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolcan) of a pizza box causes sad, soggy pizzas. The VENTiT’s fix to this problem is to give hot pizza some air by putting a few slits in the bottom of the box. Despite the box letting steam out, you might think that food would arrive colder than it should. However, VENTiT notes that it has “experimentally proven that the VENTiT box provides better insulation and keeps the food as hot as a conventional box. On the contrary, the food remains hotter.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ventilated Packaging:** Opportunity for companies to develop ventilated packaging solutions in various industries to prevent moisture build-up and improve product quality. - **Innovative Food Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create new and improved food packaging solutions that enhance food freshness and prevent sogginess. - **Steam Release Technology:** Emerging trend in packaging technology that allows for controlled steam release, providing new opportunities for improved food packaging. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging:** Opportunity for companies in the food packaging industry to adopt ventilated packaging solutions that improve food quality and customer satisfaction. - **Restaurant Delivery Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for restaurant delivery services to differentiate themselves by using innovative packaging solutions like the VENTiT pizza box to deliver hot, non-soggy food. - **E-commerce Packaging:** Trend in e-commerce packaging where companies are exploring new ways to keep perishable items fresh and maintain product quality during shipping and delivery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lockable Pizza Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockable-pizza-boxes.md) - [Transformative Pizza Box Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moving-box-table.md) - [Pop-Up Pizza Box Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-box-table.md) - [Smart Food Transportation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-food-transportation.md) - [Branded Insulated Suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heat-suit.md) - [Insulated Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heat-boots.md) - [Pizza-Warming Console Sleeves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-wrmr.md) - [3D-Printable Warming Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizzawrmr.md) - [Hockey-Inspired Pizza Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hockey-box.md)
