Product details
Specs after the buying decision
Printed ice cream cups are made for cold, wet desserts that quickly expose weak board or poor seams. The paperboard is moisture-resistant, holds shape as ice cream softens, and works for scoops, gelato, frozen yoghurt, sundaes and small pastry servings.
The standard white kraft format gives a clean printable surface for full-colour dessert branding. Sizes run from compact 4 oz cups through 16 oz tubs, with matte print as standard and lid options for takeaway, freezer display and delivery.

What is the minimum order for ice cream cups?
The standard MOQ is 10,000 units per size and artwork.
Will the cup soften when ice cream melts?
The board and lining are selected for moisture resistance, so the cup stays usable through normal serving and takeaway time.
Can these cups be used for hot desserts?
Yes for many warm dessert applications within the temperature guidance. Tell us the fill temperature so we can confirm the right lining.
Can I print different flavours?
Yes. Each artwork is treated separately, but we can adapt one approved layout into flavour variants to keep the range consistent.
