Custom Printed Ice Cream Cups.

Tell us scoop count rather than ounces — it is how your menu is priced and it is the more reliable way to size the cup.

A standard scoop is a sphere roughly 55–65 mm across. The dimension that actually matters is therefore the mouth diameter, not the volume: a scoop has to drop in cleanly without being flattened, and a flat spoon has to reach the sides.

As rough steps, a single-scoop cup is usually around 4–5 oz, two scoops around 8 oz, and three or a sharing serve 12 oz and up. But two shops serving "two scoops" can portion quite differently, so the reliable method is to send us your actual serve.

If you are also selling sundaes, size for the base serve and use a dome lid for the toppings rather than sizing every cup for the largest build.

Yes, though for slightly different reasons than an iced drink.

Inside the coating handles melting product, which is fatty and will penetrate bare board.

Outside it handles condensation. The cup comes out of a freezer at around −18°C into a warm room, and that temperature difference pulls moisture onto the surface quickly. An uncoated outer face absorbs it and softens.

There is a third requirement specific to frozen service: the coating has to stay flexible at freezer temperature. Some coatings go brittle when very cold and crack at the rolled rim, which is exactly where leaks start once the product softens.
