✓
Holder-Compatible Profiles
Sized to seat in stands, racks and cut-out trays.
✓
PFAS-Free Barrier
Handles butter and fry oil collecting at the point.
✓
Retro and Custom Print
Stripe, newsprint effect, or your own artwork.

✗
Standing Unaided
A cone has no base. It needs a hand, a stand or a holder, and that has to be planned before the cones arrive.
✗
Matching a Box for Volume
The taper wastes the lower third. A cone the same height as a box holds noticeably less, and customers who know your box portion will spot it.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Custom Paper Cones for Popcorn 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

Pricing & minimums.

Custom Paper Cones for Popcorn is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

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 Paper Cones for Popcorn.

A cone holds noticeably less than a box of the same apparent size, and it is worth understanding before you switch.

The reason is geometry. A cone tapers to a point, so the bottom third of its height contributes very little volume. A box has straight or gently flared walls and uses its full height.

Practically, that means if you move from boxes to cones at the same price point, customers who know your previous portion will notice. Either size the cone up, or position it as a different (usually more premium or occasion-led) offer.

The other planning point is support: a cone has no base and cannot stand up. It needs a stand, a rack, or a hole cut in a serving tray — decide that before ordering, not after.
