Custom Cone Sleeves are printed paperboard wraps that hold waffle cones, snow cone cups, and rolled treats steady, built for ice cream shops, dessert trucks, and concession stands that want branding in the customer's hand. Each one is custom-printed in full color.
A snug paperboard wrap keeps fingers off the cone and gives drips a clean barrier, so the cone stays easy to carry while customers walk and eat. Your logo, flavor name, or shop handle prints across the wrap, turning every cone into a small billboard. Use them at a busy summer counter where each handoff doubles as a photo a guest might post.

Sleeve Quantities for a Scoop Shop
Cone geometry varies by supplier, so a sleeve drawn for one taper slides off another. Send a physical cone before the die is finalized. Paper weight controls how the sleeve holds its curl, a coating option limits soak through from a melting scoop, and a simple two color print keeps the artwork legible at the small area available.

Two paths shape lead time: sleeves produced domestically may be ready in about 7 business days, specialty imported coated stock can extend to about 12 weeks, each standing only as planning ranges, not guarantees. Free dieline design comes with the taper we draw around your cone. Send a sample cone, the taper measurements, coating preference, and seasonal quantity.
