Applesauce Cups packaging is a custom-printed paperboard carton that holds and brands your single-serve applesauce portions, made for fruit-snack brands, baby-food lines, and private-label producers. We manufacture it in the US in SBS white or kraft board.
Clear flavor and variety labeling helps parents pick the right multipack at a glance, and printing both sides of the carton gives you space for ingredient and serving copy. The flat-folding format keeps storage tidy across several SKUs, and a window cutout lets the fruit color show through to build trust on shelf.

Buying Applesauce Cups at Case Volume
Portion cups run in polypropylene or PET with either a heat sealed film lid or a snap on lid, and that choice shapes your fill line more than the artwork does. Send fill weight, sealing head diameter, and whether cups travel in trays or loose inside the master case so the quote reflects real handling.
| Cups ordered | Portion cup planning note |
|---|---|
| 50 | Smallest custom run, useful for dialing in seal temperature. |
| 500 | Covers a market season or one school pilot. |
| 1,000 | Two fill weights sharing a single printed lid design. |
| 5,000 | Print setup spreads thin once reorders repeat monthly. |
| 10,000+ | Program volume, quoted from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Lead time planning: eligible in-house work may run in about 7 business days, while specialty imported work may take about 12 weeks, and both are planning ranges, not guarantees. A digital proof reaches you before any lidding film prints. To price the job, send fill weight, cup diameter, lid style, and yearly usage.
