Premium Frozen Dessert Cups, Freezer-Safe & Easy to Hold
We’ve tested these containers in busy creameries and have seen how regular paper bowls can fall apart when they get wet. Our cups use strong paperboard with a moisture-resistant barrier, so your customers won’t have to worry about the packaging collapsing. The sturdy rim stays firm and keeps the lid secure, which helps prevent spills—a relief for parents and kids on the move.
Why Your Dessert Business Needs Specialized Paper Tubs
Generic containers can let in moisture, which softens the paper and causes your logo to fade. We use soy-based inks that stay bright, even in the cold. If you use single wall paper cups for frozen treats, you’ll see that our dessert cups are wider and more stable, so they don’t tip over easily. This is especially helpful for sundaes with lots of toppings.
Superior Thermal Resistance and Leak Prevention
A mess-free experience comes from our special internal coating. We use a double-poly lining or a compostable PLA option to make the surface non-porous. This keeps fats and liquids from soaking into the paper. Unlike eco-friendly cups made for dry foods, ours are built to handle the temperature changes of frozen dairy.
Sustainable Choices Without Performance Loss
We know more businesses want to go green. That’s why we offer kraft paper cups and plant-based linings that work just as well as plastic-coated ones. You can help the environment without worrying about spills in your customer’s car.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Ice Cream & Dessert Paper Cups
We’ve answered the main technical questions our clients often have when they start using custom-branded dessert containers.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Can these cups be stored in long-term deep freezers?
Yes, these cups are made for flash freezing and long-term storage. The thick paperboard helps prevent freezer burn, which can happen with thinner, uncoated containers.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom printing?
We work with both small shops and large franchises. Our minimum order for custom branding starts at just 1 unit.
Are the lids included with the cups?
Lids are sold separately so you can choose what works best. Pick clear dome lids for whipped cream and toppings, or flat, vented paper lids for pre-packed pints for grocery stores.
Do you offer eco-friendly or biodegradable options?
Yes, we offer a PLA-lined version that is fully compostable in industrial facilities. This lining gives the same moisture barrier as regular plastic but is better for the environment.
Will the ink smell or affect the ice cream's taste?
We use food-safe, odorless inks. Since the printing is only on the outside, and the inside is protected by a barrier, there is no risk of ink affecting the taste of your product.
