Multi-pack retail sales and delivery orders require sturdy outer packaging that prevents tipping, crushing, and temperature loss. We design custom carrier boxes, multi-cup sleeves, and shipping containers built from rigid SBS paperboard, Kraft board, or sturdy E-flute corrugated cardboard.
Our outer boxes hold 2-pack, 4-pack, or 6-pack cup configurations with custom die-cut inserts that lock each rim into position during transport.
When managing diverse dessert product catalogs, food brands count on our ice cream box packaging solutions to keep cold products safe alongside baked goods.
Our engineering team develops protective custom food boxes equipped with insulated inserts that maintain internal temperatures when shipping with dry ice.
If your shop offers complementary gift sets, we produce eco-friendly custom fudge boxes that pair perfectly with ice cream multi-packs in retail displays.
Our seasoned custom ice cream cup packaging experts assist you from initial dieline creation through final production to ensure a flawless fit and structural integrity.
We also engineer durable ice cream box packaging designs featuring clear PET display windows, built-in carry handles, and tamper-evident pull tabs for takeaway convenience.
Our cup range gives dessert sellers a clear size choice for tastings, sundaes, frozen yogurt, toppings, and takeaway portions. Each custom ice cream cup can use a rolled rim that supports a close lid fit and comfortable hand use.
Cup Size | Capacity | Board Stock | Top Diameter | Height | Typical Use |
4 oz | 120 ml | 230 GSM | 71 mm | 46 mm | Tastings, single scoops |
6 oz | 240 ml | 230 GSM | 94 mm | 53 mm | Soft serve, double scoops |
8 oz | 280 ml | 280 GSM | 95 mm | 60 mm | Sundaes, frozen yogurt |
12 oz | 390 ml | 300 GSM | 101 mm | 76 mm | Large desserts, fruit bowls |
16 oz | 520 ml | 350 GSM | 111 mm | 84 mm | Takeaway tubs, acai bowls |
A clear capacity plan helps staff serve consistent portions and helps buyers avoid oversized packaging. Our ice cream packaging supplies cover compact tasting cups and larger takeaway formats without forcing one size across every menu item.
A strong custom ice cream packaging layout can use CMYK process color, Pantone color references, matte aqueous coating, gloss UV, or textured finishes.
Brands that also sell confectionery items can choose custom fudge boxes with coordinated artwork for a more consistent dessert display.
The finish changes both the look and feel of a cup. Custom Boxes Tech offers practical print options for brands that want a sharp, premium, or high-impact presentation.
Finish | Main Benefit | Best Fit |
Matte aqueous | Low glare and smooth touch | Minimal branding, soft colors |
Gloss UV | Higher shine and stronger contrast | Bright graphics and bold logos |
Textured finish | Noticeable hand feel | Specialty dessert lines |
PLA barrier | Plant-based lining choice | Selected eco-focused projects |
Water-based inks support food-service print needs
Full-color artwork can cover logos and branded patterns
Digital 3D proofs help teams review layout before printing
Physical samples help confirm board feel, print quality, and lid fit
Gloss coating adds stronger visual contrast
Matte coating gives the surface a softer look
Frozen desserts release moisture as temperatures change. Our cups can use an 18 GSM PE layer inside and another 18 GSM PE layer outside. The paperboard core adds wall strength, while the coating helps control liquid movement, grease, and condensation.
Our custom ice cream cup packaging experts check cup size, rim shape, board weight, coating choice, and artwork files before production. This process gives buyers useful material details instead of unclear claims.
The cup structure supports demanding cold-service use. CBT can match stock and coating choices to takeaway service, counter sales, and freezer storage needs.
Inner PE layer: 18 GSM
Outer PE layer: 18 GSM
Paperboard core: 230 to 350 GSM
Freezer-use target for specified builds: down to -20°F / -28°C
PLA option: 100% biodegradable plant-based coating in the supplied specification
Rolled rim supports flat paper lids or PET dome lids
Double-sided barrier helps limit leaks and condensation
Moisture resistance supports cleaner cold-service handling
Larger orders lower the unit range in the supplied pricing structure. That gives stores, distributors, and multi-location dessert brands more room to plan repeat buying.

We are one of the top ice cream packaging suppliers. We cover artwork support, quote review, dieline planning, sample checks, and reorder help. Freight, special finishes, lids, and project-specific extras can change a final quote.
High-volume runs give established sellers a lower unit range. Our team can use order details and confirmed specifications to keep repeat projects consistent.
Outer packs need enough strength to stop cups from shifting or crushing during delivery. Custom Boxes Tech can create 2-pack, 4-pack, and 6-pack carriers with SBS board, Kraft board, or E-flute corrugated stock.
For delivery and retail use, ice cream box packaging can include die-cut locking trays, fitted inserts, carry handles, clear PET windows, and tamper-evident pull tabs.
Brands that sell grouped frozen items can also add custom food boxes with fitted inserts for more controlled transport.
Some sellers need more than a serving cup. CBT can plan custom ice cream cartons for supermarket display, delivery bundles, and multi-cup sets. The outer pack can hold cups in fixed positions and give staff a cleaner way to carry several portions at once.
2-pack carriers for compact takeaway orders
4-pack layouts for mixed flavor sets
6-pack formats for larger group orders
E-flute corrugated stock for stronger outer protection
Die-cut inserts to control cup movement
Clear PET windows for product visibility
Carry handles for easier hand transport
Tamper-evident tabs for added order control

Our structural engineering team completely updates the traditional cup base to stop structural collapse from ice condensation. Custom Boxes Tech fixes this massive industry headache with a reliable, multi-step production method:
Double-Sided Polyethylene (PE) Shielding: We apply a thick 15-micron inner layer and a 12-micron outer layer to block all moisture.
Reinforced Recessed Grooves: Our machines press the bottom rim at 350°F to form a deep, rigid lock that lifts the cup base off wet surfaces.
High-Density Paperboard: We use 350 GSM (grams per square meter) virgin paperboard that keeps 98% of its original strength in deep freezers.
