Touch, Feel, and First Impressions Matter

Ever grabbed a flimsy paper ice cream cup that buckled the second you added a scoop? That is what we avoid. Our cups hold their shape, even if they are stacked high in a freezer for months. The sidewalls are sturdy but smooth. When you press your thumb against the cup, it pushes back, not too hard, not too soft. If you are handing the cup to a child or a distracted customer, you want it to feel safe and easy to hold. No sharp rims. No mystery drips. Just clean edges, clean print, and a shape that works with how real people eat dessert.

Clean Print That Stays Crisp—Even With Condensation

Each cup is finished with a polyethylene (PE) or biodegradable PLA coating. These coatings protect the outer print from smudging, while keeping the inside strong against leaks. So you don’t get soggy seams or soggy branding. If you are looking for a sustainable option, our biodegradable ice cream cups are made with compostable PLA linings that break down under the right conditions. No greenwashing, these are real alternatives to traditional plastic-coated cups. Printing options include:
  • Full CMYK custom artwork
  • Pantone matching for brand colors
  • Custom logo placement
  • Gloss or matte finishes
  • Inside/outside printing available
  • Foil stamping or spot UV (for larger orders)
We specialize in custom printed ice cream cups that hold their detail. Even the tiny lines stay sharp.

Optional Lids That Snap Tight (No Wiggle, No Pop-Offs)

We offer custom ice cream cups with lids for takeout and delivery. These snap-fit PET or paperboard lids come in flat and dome styles. The flat lids sit flush with the rim for easy stacking. Dome lids are best for servings that come with whipped cream or toppings. Each lid is sized exactly to match the cup, so there is no guessing or stretching. This is especially useful for frozen storage and delivery apps. You’ll also find these useful if you sell bulk ice cream cups to catering clients or event vendors. Lid styles include:
  • Flat clear PET lids
  • Dome PET lids (with or without hole)
  • Flat white paperboard lids
  • Custom printed lids (available on request)

No Generic Stocks—We Customize Every Run

We don’t run generic warehouse items. Every batch of custom paper ice cream cups is made to order. You choose the paper thickness (usually 280gsm to 330gsm), the inner coating, the shape (straight wall or slightly tapered), and the finish. If you are unsure which combo to choose, we’ll guide you. For example, for frozen yogurt chains doing high-volume orders, we recommend custom ice cream cups bulk with 300gsm paperboard and PE coating. For eco-conscious cafes and bakeries, we suggest biodegradable ice cream cups with PLA lining and matte finish. And if your packaging theme follows a seasonal release, think red and white for winter, or pastel tones for spring, we’ll work with you on short runs with customized ice cream cups that fit the moment.

Who Uses Our Custom Ice Cream Paper Cups?

We work with:
  • Ice cream parlors that do heavy foot traffic in summer
  • Dessert trucks and vendors that need ice cream cups with lids for delivery
  • Cafes that pair frozen cups with other dessert packaging like Bakery Boxes
  • Food courts and catering setups needing custom ice cream cups wholesale
  • Small-batch gelato brands who care about packaging as much as flavor
  • Franchise shops ordering custom ice cream cups in bulk for multiple locations

Here is one real example

A gelato shop in Miami asked us to customize ice cream cups for their 4 seasonal flavors. They wanted different colors, unique print inside the cups, and snug dome lids for each 8oz portion. We produced a 4-design run of custom printed paper ice cream cups with foil-stamped logos, pastel exterior tones, and full-color inner walls. The packaging became part of their brand story on Instagram.

Need to Personalize? We Do Small Runs Too

We also offer personalized ice cream cups for birthday parties, weddings, team events, or brand activations. These usually go for 50 to 500 pieces. Each one is fully printed, no labels, no stickers. Just a real print on the cup. These are the same quality as our ice cream cups wholesale runs, just made smaller and faster. Popular choices here include:
  • Mini ice cream cups for tasting bars
  • 8oz ice cream cups with individual guest names
  • Custom logo ice cream cups with event branding
  • Short-run custom ice cream cups with lids for freezing ahead of time

Add-ons That Actually Make Sense

We know you care about the details. That is why we offer options beyond just printing:
  • Custom ice cream cups with lids (flat or dome)
  • Die-cut perforation for peel-and-reveal discounts
  • Foil stamping or embossing for a tactile feel
  • Pre-inserted wooden spoons for on-the-go service
  • Nested cup carriers for safe delivery of multi-cup orders
You can also pair your custom ice cream cup with other branded items like napkins, carriers, and if you are offering baked goods too, custom bakery boxes that match your ice cream design.

Keep It Clean. Keep It Convenient.

Every disposable ice cream cup is designed for single use, so there is no cleanup and no cross-contamination. They are freezer-safe and suitable for soft-serve, sorbet, Italian ice, or even shaved ice. Stacking is easy, and because each size is molded to be compact and efficient, you can store hundreds of cups in a small corner without cluttering up your prep space. If you run a delivery service, our custom ice cream paper cups with lids seal well to avoid leakage during transport. And if sustainability is part of your brand message, our biodegradable ice cream cups check that box without affecting durability or print performance.

Choose Your Exact Size—From Mini Tastings to Full Pints

Our sizes range from mini ice cream cups for quick samples to 12oz options for the full dessert. These are our most popular sizes:
  • 4oz ice cream cups – Best for tasters and small servings
  • 5 oz ice cream cups – A standard choice for one-scoop servings
  • 6 oz ice cream cups – Slightly roomier, gives you more swirl space
  • 8oz ice cream cups – Ideal for two scoops with toppings
  • 12 oz ice cream cups – Great for large servings or full sundaes
And if you need something specific, we can customize the dimensions.

Bulk Orders for Shops and Franchises

If you are sourcing custom ice cream cups bulk for a chain or multiple stores, we’ve got scalable options. We handle custom ice cream cups wholesale with consistent specs across batches. You can reorder easily with saved templates, and we offer logistics support for shipments that need to go to multiple locations. Larger clients usually ask for:
  • Ice cream paper cups with high heat-tolerance for machines
  • Custom printed ice cream cups that match store interiors
  • Branded disposable ice cream cups for event handouts
  • Custom ice cream cups with lids for freezer storage
Everything comes packed securely. We test each batch to check sealing, coating, and cut accuracy. With options to customize everything from size and shape to finish and lid style, our custom ice cream cups wholesale program helps you serve better and market smarter, at the same time. If you need ice cream cups in bulk with fast turnaround, low minimums, and full design freedom, you are in the right place. Our team is here to help with dielines, samples, and anything else you need.

I started baking different kinds of cakes as a hobby, and now it has become a small business. I want to thank Glossy Packaging for making things easier for me. Their team has been very helpful, and the custom cake boxes they send are just what I needed. The printing looks great, and the quality is always good. Thank you for the support and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are 2 cups in a pint of ice cream. If you are scooping with a standard 4oz ice cream cup, one pint will fill about two of those. 

One scoop of ice cream is usually about 1/2 cup. That is the size you’d see at most dessert shops using standard round scoops. If you are using custom ice cream paper cups, the 4oz and 5oz sizes fit a single scoop nicely, with just enough space to keep it from tipping over.

A gallon of ice cream holds 16 cups. That means one gallon can fill sixteen 1-cup servings or thirty-two 4oz servings. 

A pint and 2 cups are the same thing. If you are filling custom printed ice cream cups, this tells you how many cups you’ll need for each container size. Two 8oz ice cream cups will empty one pint.

It is usually half a cup per scoop, though some scoops are smaller. If you are using mini ice cream cups or serving small samples, one scoop will almost fill a 4oz cup. Bigger scoops go better in 6oz or 8oz custom paper ice cream cups.
