Description
Overview

Cone Sleeves

A wrap for a cone — branding on a format that otherwise has none.

A die-cut band that grips a rolled cone, adds insulation against a cold or greasy item, and gives an unbranded format somewhere to carry a name.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Drip Containment
Wraps the lower cone so melt does not reach the hand.
Grip Surface
Dry textured board on an otherwise slippery cone.
Sized to Your Cone
Matched to wafer, sugar or waffle taper and diameter.
Chip Cone Variants
Grease-focused version with added rigidity.
Moisture-Resistant Board
Does not soften in the hand as ice cream melts.
Compact Nesting
Stacks tightly behind a counter.
Kraft Mark-Hiding Stock
Drip marks are far less visible on brown board.
Seasonal Print Runs
Summer and event artwork without retooling.
One Sleeve for All Cone Types
Wafer, sugar and waffle cones have different diameters and tapers. A sleeve fitted to one slides off another.
Stopping the Cone Melting
A board sleeve catches drips; it is not insulation. In hot weather the ice cream will still melt at the same rate.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Custom Cone Sleeves is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Custom Cone Sleeves.

Usually not, and it is worth checking before ordering rather than after.

Cones vary more than people expect. A wafer cone is narrow with a steep taper. A sugar cone is wider and blunter. A large waffle cone is wider again with a shallower angle. A sleeve cut for one of those will either slide straight off another or refuse to seat properly on it.

Two consequences:

  • If you serve one cone type, we size the sleeve to it exactly and it works perfectly.
  • If you serve several, you may need more than one sleeve SKU — or you can standardise on a single cone, which some operators do specifically to simplify this.

Send us an actual cone of each type you use and we will tell you honestly whether one sleeve can cover them.
