Durable Materials, Thickness & Coating Specifications for Cone Sleeves

To ensure complete food safety and optimal protection against moisture, grease, and oil selecting the right material, coating, and thickness for your custom cone sleeves is one of the most critical decisions your brand will make. As a leading manufacturer of custom printed ice cream cone sleeves in the USA, Elixir Packaging offers a comprehensive range of FDA and FSC certified food safe material options:

Materials for Cone Sleeves with Logo

Kraft Paper a sustainable, fully recyclable choice made from virgin or recycled wood pulp. Kraft delivers a natural brown aesthetic with excellent printability making it the perfect eco-friendly option for custom cone sleeves targeting environmentally conscious customers at casual and everyday serving occasions.

SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) premium white board stock with a smooth, bright surface engineered for vibrant graphics and high end brand presentation. SBS delivers superior rigidity and a genuinely luxurious feel making it the top choice for premium custom printed ice cream cone sleeves targeting luxury dessert brands and upscale retail locations.

C1S (Coated One Side) features a glossy coated exterior for sharp, high clarity printing combined with an uncoated interior for superior ink adhesion. This budget friendly option suits promotional custom cone sleeve orders and standard serving applications offering reliable moisture resistance at a highly competitive price point.

Alu-Laminate a foil laminated composite that provides ultimate barrier properties for custom printed ice cream cone sleeves offering maximum protection against moisture, grease, and temperature changes for premium frozen dessert applications.

Thickness of Cone Sleeve Packaging

Standard thicknesses range from 75 to 120 GSM for paper products and 10 to 28PT for paperboard with every thickness option fully customizable to match your specific branding and performance requirements.

Coatings For Extra Protection

Premium coatings enhance the longevity, food safety, and grease protection of every custom cone sleeve while ensuring full eco compliance with today's sustainability standards. At Elixir Packaging, our coating options for custom printed ice cream cone sleeves include:

Lamination a thin PE or PET plastic film applied to both sides of your custom cone sleeve providing complete waterproofing, scuff resistance, and premium tactile quality that elevates your brand presentation at every serving occasion.

Varnish UV cured or aqueous gloss and matte finishes that boost color vibrancy, protect your printing from fingerprints, and extend the lifespan of every custom cone sleeve at a highly cost effective price point.

Grease Barrier specialized oil resistant coatings including silicone and bio-based emulsions applied to the interior of every custom printed ice cream cone sleeve blocking up to 95% of grease migration and keeping your customers' hands clean and comfortable throughout every serving.

We also incorporate micro perforations near the sleeve tops on C1S and Kraft materials releasing condensation naturally and ensuring a consistently superior customer experience from the first lick to the last bite.
