Collection: CUSTOM ICE CREAM CUPS

First impressions are everything in the dessert business. A beautifully branded ice cream cup signals quality before the first scoop. KimEcopak's custom paper ice cream cups are double-wall insulated, leak-resistant, and available with your logo printed directly on the cup — giving ice cream shops, gelato bars, dessert cafés, and food trucks a professional, memorable way to serve every portion. Low MOQ from 10,000 pieces. Free shipping across Canada.

Why Custom Ice Cream Cups Matter for Your Brand

In the dessert industry, presentation is part of the product. Customers photograph their ice cream before they eat it. They share it. They come back because of the experience and the cup is part of that experience.

A custom-printed paper ice cream cup does three things simultaneously:

• Protects your product — double-wall insulation keeps ice cream cold longer without the cup sweating or softening in hand
• Elevates perceived value — a branded cup signals a premium product and professional operation
• Markets your business passively — every cup carried out the door or photographed extends your brand's reach at zero additional cost

Who benefits most from custom paper ice cream cups:

• Ice cream & gelato shops — consistent branded presentation at the counter and on social media
• Dessert cafés & bubble tea shops — serve ice cream-based drinks and sundaes in branded cups
• Frozen yogurt bars — self-serve or staffed, branded cups reinforce your concept
• Bakeries & patisseries — serve individual frozen dessert portions with premium packaging
• Food trucks & pop-ups — lightweight, stackable branded cups that are easy to transport and use
• Catering & event companies — branded dessert stations at weddings, corporate events, and festivals
• Meal kit & grocery delivery — include branded frozen dessert portions in premium delivery boxes

Why Double-Wall Paper Cups Are the Right Choice for Ice Cream

The double-wall construction isn't just about insulation — it solves a practical problem that every ice cream business faces: the sweating cup .

Single-wall cups condensate quickly when holding cold contents, creating moisture on the outside that makes the cup uncomfortable to hold and unprofessional in appearance. Double-wall paper cups trap a layer of air between two paper walls, which:

• Keeps ice cream colder longer — less meltdown between counter and customer
• Eliminates condensation on the outside — no wet, slippery cup in hand
• No need for a paper sleeve — the double-wall provides enough insulation on its own
• Feels premium in hand — the added wall thickness gives a substantial, quality feel

For gelato and ice cream specifically, double-wall is not a luxury — it's the right specification.

PP Coating vs PLA Coating — Which Is Right for You?

PP Coating (Polypropylene) The standard, widely available option. PP coating provides reliable moisture and cold resistance at the most competitive price point. Ideal for businesses prioritizing cost efficiency and high volume.

PLA Coating (Polylactic Acid — Plant-Based) PLA is derived from plant starches (typically corn), making it a bio-based alternative to petroleum-derived PP. PLA-coated cups are certified compostable in industrial composting facilities (DIN certified). Ideal for eco-conscious brands, organic dessert shops, and businesses operating in municipalities with industrial composting programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom logo ice cream cups?

A: MOQ starts at 10,000 pieces per size for custom logo printing. Custom dimensions (non-standard sizes) are available at MOQ 30,000 pieces. If you need multiple sizes, our team can advise on flexible ordering options.

Q: What sizes are available for custom ice cream cups?

A: KimEcopak's custom paper ice cream cups are available in 5oz (150ml), 8oz (240ml), 10oz (295ml), 12oz (350ml), and 16oz (450ml). Two 8oz styles are available with slightly different dimensions to accommodate different scooping or serving styles.

Q: Are these cups suitable for gelato as well as ice cream?

A: Yes. The double-wall construction and cold resistance make these cups equally suitable for gelato, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and other frozen desserts. The 5oz size is ideal for tasting portions; 8oz–12oz covers single servings; 16oz suits large portions or shared cups.

Q: Can I use the same cup for both cold desserts and hot items like soup?

A: Yes. KimEcopak's double-wall paper containers are designed for both hot and cold applications — they are suitable for hot soup, porridge, ice cream, and gelato. This makes them highly versatile if your business serves a range of foods across dayparts.

Q: Do the cups come with lids?

A: Lids are available separately and can be ordered alongside your custom cups. Flat lids are available in Ø 9.7cm (for 5oz–10oz cups) and Ø 11.5cm (for 12oz–16oz cups), in both PP and PET materials.

Q: Are your ice cream cups compostable?

A: PLA-coated cups are certified industrially compostable (DIN certified). PP-coated cups are not certified compostable. If compostability is important to your brand, we recommend the PLA coating option — please confirm industrial composting infrastructure availability in your municipality.

Q: Are the cups freezer-safe?

Can I pre-portion ice cream and freeze it in the cup? A: Yes. KimEcopak's paper ice cream cups are freezer-safe, making them suitable for pre-portioned frozen desserts. This is useful for meal kit companies, grocery delivery services, and dessert caterers who need to prepare portions in advance.

Q: What is the difference between PP coating and PLA coating for ice cream cups?

A: PP (polypropylene) coating is a petroleum-based plastic liner that provides strong moisture resistance and is the most cost-effective option. PLA (polylactic acid) coating is derived from plant starch, is bio-based, and is industrially compostable. Both perform well for ice cream applications — the choice depends on your budget and sustainability goals.

Q: Do you ship custom ice cream cups across Canada? A:

Yes. KimEcopak offers free shipping to all provinces from warehouses in Edmonton, AB (Western Canada) and Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC (Eastern Canada). No customs charges, no hidden fees.
