Ice cream packaging spans personalized ice cream cups, ice cream cone holders, and branded carriers for pints, scoops, and multi-pack programs. Custom ice cream cups with logo print turn every counter sale and catering order into brand visibility.
This guide covers cup formats, ice cream cups bulk tiers, and related beverage carriers for coffee, beer, and RTD drinks.
Ice cream cup and holder formats
| Format | Use case | Material |
|---|---|---|
| Printed paper cups | Scoop shops, catering | Food-grade paper + PE or aqueous lining |
| Plastic portion cups | Tastings, samples | Food-grade PET or PP |
| Cone holders | Walk-out cone service | Paperboard tray |
| Pint / tub sleeves | Grocery retail | Paperboard sleeve over stock tub |
Ice cream holder trays prevent cones from tipping in bags and cars — specify 1-count, 2-count, or 4-count layouts when quoting.
Personalized cups vs bulk programs
Ice cream cups personalized for boutique shops often run 5,000–25,000 units per SKU. Ice cream cups bulk for multi-location operators benefit from:
- Single artwork across sizes (kids cup, regular, large)
- Predictable reorder cycles
- Warehouse pallet delivery
Share cup capacity (oz), lid fit, and freezer storage requirements.
Beverage carriers beyond ice cream
The same food-safe print workflows apply to:
- Coffee cup carriers
- Beer bottle 4-packs and 6-packs
- Can multi-pack sleeves
