In the frozen dessert market, the cup is the final barrier between your brand and the elements. At Hexa Custom Boxes, we engineer custom ice cream cups that maintain structural rigidity at temperatures as low as -40°C. Utilizing high-caliper, FDA-approved food-grade paperboard with double-sided PE (polyethylene) or aqueous coatings, our custom ice cream packaging prevents moisture absorption and “side-wall softening.”

We prioritize product freshness by offering precision-fit lids—available in paper, PET, or compostable PLA—that create a “frost-lock” seal to prevent freezer burn. From vibrant, high-definition process printing to “Eco-Leaf” compostable options, our wholesale ice cream cups are designed to look as indulgent as the treat inside. Elevate your creamery with packaging that survives the freezer and dominates the sidewalk.

Custom Ice Cream Cups: Cryogenic Engineering & High-Gloss Branding

The primary failure of a generic paper cup is “The Melt-Down.” When ice cream begins to soften, the resulting moisture attacks the paper seams. At Hexa Custom Boxes, we specialize in custom printed ice cream cups that solve the “Condensation-Collapse” problem. Our custom dessert packaging is engineered with a 360-degree moisture barrier and reinforced bottom rims to ensure your product stays firm and professional from the first scoop to the last.

1. Material Engineering: The Double-Barrier Defense

Unlike standard coffee cups, ice cream cups require protection on both the inside and the outside.

  • Double-PE Coated Paperboard: The “Internal” coating prevents the ice cream from soaking the paper, while the “External” coating prevents condensation from the air from softening the cup’s exterior.
  • Aqueous “Green-Shield” Coating: A plastic-free, water-based alternative that provides excellent moisture resistance while keeping the cup 100% recyclable and compostable.
  • Heavy-Duty 350GSM Board: We use thicker, high-density board to provide superior insulation, keeping the ice cream cold longer while protecting the customer’s hands from the chill.

2. Retail Strategy: The “Impulse-Buy” Aesthetic

Ice cream is an emotional purchase. We help you use custom printed ice cream packaging to trigger that “crave” response:

  • High-Definition Flexo Printing: We use food-safe, low-migration inks that maintain their color vibrance even in high-humidity and sub-zero environments.
  • Matte vs. Gloss Finishes: Choose a high-gloss finish to make fruit-based sorbets “pop,” or a soft matte finish for artisanal, small-batch dairy brands.
  • Lid Branding: Don’t waste the top-down view. We offer full-color printing on paper lids, ensuring your logo is visible even when the cups are stacked in a freezer chest.

3. Structural Features: The “Frost-Lock” Seal

  • Reinforced Rolled Rims: Our cups feature a tightly rolled top rim that provides the lateral strength needed for high-pressure machine filling and ensures a “snap-on” fit for lids.
  • Vented Lid Technology: Our lids are engineered with micro-vents to allow for pressure equalization during the freezing process, preventing the lid from “popping” off as the air inside contracts.
  • Recessed Bottoms: The base of the cup is recessed to create an air-pocket, which acts as a thermal buffer between the cold product and warm tabletops.

4. The “Perfect Fit” Sizing Guide

Choosing the right volume is essential for calorie-portioning and scoop-geometry.

The Hexa Standard Ice Cream Sizes:

  • The “Sample/Mini” (4 oz): Perfect for in-store tastings or kid-sized scoops.
  • The “Standard Scoop” (8 oz): The industry favorite for single or double-serving retail.
  • The “Pint Master” (16 oz): Heavy-duty construction designed for grocery freezer shelves.

5. How to Order Your Custom Ice Cream Cups

We move your creamery from “Standard” to “Elite” in five steps:

  1. Select Your Size: Choose from 4 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz, or 16 oz volumes.
  2. Define Your Coating: Choose between traditional Double-PE or our Eco-Aqueous barrier.
  3. Upload Your Art: We provide free Pantone® matching to ensure your brand colors stay true at sub-zero temperatures.
  4. Technical Pre-Press: Our engineers check the “Bleed-Zones” on the curved surface to ensure your logo doesn’t warp.
  5. Direct Delivery: Delivered in 12-14 business days, with specialized sleeves to prevent scuffing during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the ink run or smudge as the ice cream melts?
No. We use water-based, heat-set inks that are moisture-resistant. Once cured, the printing is “locked” into the coating and will not bleed, even if the cup is covered in heavy condensation.
Are your ice cream cups microwave-safe?
While they are heat-resistant, we do not recommend microwaving Double-PE coated cups. For products that require heating, we recommend our Aqueous-Coated “Eco” line.
Can I get a lid that holds a small wooden spoon?
Yes! We offer “Dome” or “Flat” lids with a specialized recessed underside designed to hold a standard wooden “gelato” spoon, making it the perfect “on-the-go” solution.
How do you prevent freezer burn?
Freezer burn is caused by air exposure. Our “Frost-Lock” lids are engineered with a precision-fit tolerance of +-0.1mm, ensuring an airtight seal that keeps moisture in and ice crystals out.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For custom printing, our MOQ for wholesale ice cream cups starts at 100 units. We offer significant volume discounts for franchises at 5,000+ unit increments.
Are the materials "Sustainable" or "Compostable"?
Yes. We offer FSC-certified paper paired with PLA (cornstarch-based) or Aqueous linings. These cups are 100% compostable in industrial facilities, helping you market your brand as an eco-leader.
