Cone Sleeves

Custom Cone Sleeves That Do More Than Catch Drips

Think of the last time you bought an ice cream. Did you notice the sleeve? Most people don’t — until it’s poorly made, flimsy, or bland. That’s why we work with businesses to design sleeves that are sturdy, grease-resistant, and visually striking. A plain cone disappears; a cone wrapped in your colours, logo, or seasonal design sparks recognition.

We’ve helped everyone from small family-run shops to UK-wide chains create sleeves that customers carry proudly through parks, festivals, and shopping streets. It’s walking advertising at its most affordable.

Why Cone Sleeves Matter More Than You Think

Here’s the truth: cone sleeves aren’t just for mess control. They:

• Protect hands from heat or cold.
• Keep cones intact for takeaway customers.
• Boost hygiene by reducing direct contact with food.
• Showcase your branding in busy public spaces.

A cone sleeve is a low-cost item that adds real value. When customers share pictures of their desserts online, your sleeve becomes part of the photo. That’s free visibility every time.

Tailored Sleeves for Every Ice Cream Brand

Not all cones — or brands — are the same. That’s why we make cone sleeves fully customisable:

• Sizes & shapes: From small kiddie cones to oversized bubble waffle cone sleeves.
• Paper stocks: Choose from eco-friendly kraft, premium glossy card, or tough moisture-resistant board—each designed for real-life use.
• Print finishes: CMYK or Pantone® for colour consistency, plus options for foiling or spot UV if you want to go bold.
• Templates: Already have an idea? Send us your ice cream cone sleeve template and we’ll turn it into reality.

We also offer food-safe inks and sustainable paper options so you can serve with confidence. Many of our sleeves are FSC®-certified, giving you eco credentials customers actually notice.

A Story From the Freezer Aisle

One gelato shop in Brighton told us they felt invisible on the seafront. Their cones looked the same as everyone else’s — just plain white sleeves. We suggested switching things up: a deep blue background, their logo in bold white, and a wave motif that echoed the coastal vibe. Soon enough, locals weren’t just buying cones, they were asking for “the blue-sleeve ones.
