Sleeve shapes for a double
| Wide cone sleeve | A tapered sleeve with a flared mouth; the standard; holds the cone from the base |
|---|---|
| Drip-catch sleeve | A wider skirt at the mouth that catches run-off |
| Sleeve with a napkin pocket | A slot that holds a folded napkin against the sleeve |
| Waffle cone jacket | A short jacket for a large waffle cone; the grip, not the drip |
Board that meets cold and wet
Melted ice cream is sugar water, and it wicks into plain board in a minute. The sleeve is a grease- and moisture-resistant board, PFAS-free, 250–300 gsm, coated white or kraft, with a food-safe print outside and a plain face against the cone. It holds its shape wet for the life of the cone. Our ice cream packaging for cups, cones and pints covers the rest of the parlour.
Sizing to the cone
- Mouth diameter: the cone at the rim plus 3–4 mm, so a filled cone drops in without forcing.
- Length: 90–110 mm, so the sleeve reaches the hand.
- Taper: matched to the cone so the sleeve grips at the base and does not slide down.
- Send the cone: sugar, waffle and cake cones each taper differently.
Print for a cone that is photographed
A cone in a hand is the parlour's advertising. A pattern that wraps the taper, a color, the brand near the mouth where it is seen — one or two colors on kraft or full color on white. The artwork is placed on the flat sector and spirals on the cone, and the dieline shows where.
Pre-glued sleeves open with a squeeze at the counter and are faster than rolled sectors on a hot afternoon.
Parlours, trucks and the season
Sleeves ship flat in cases of 500 or 1,000 and take no space. A hundred is a trial; a few thousand is a summer. The die per cone size and the print are kept, and a summer design is a reprint.

On every job
- Print process
- Flexo in one to six colors, printed on the outer face only and before any lining goes on.

- Tolerance
- Cutting plus or minus 1 mm, and fit confirmed by filling a plain sample from your own kitchen or line.
- Tooling
- A cutting die per size, kept. Molded pulp needs a tool per shape, which is a longer lead and a larger one-off.
- Food contact
- Every board food-contact grade, with grease resistance built into the sheet and never a PFAS treatment.
- Sustainability
- Aqueous linings and unlined boards repulp with ordinary paper. PE-lined cups need cup collection, and we say which you have.

- Dieline
- Supplied free with the quote, before you commit. Yours whether or not you order.

Boards and films we build twin scoop ice cream cone sleeves on
Food packaging is chosen for what the food does to it: grease, steam, heat and time. Every board here is food-contact grade, and none of them uses a PFAS treatment for grease resistance.
Food-grade virgin board
Bleached board made for direct food contact. Clean, bright, no recycled fiber and no mineral-oil risk from recovered paper.
14–24ptGrease-resistant board
Resistance built into the sheet rather than sprayed on. Holds fries, pastry and butter without darkening. PFAS-free.
16–24ptPE-lined cupstock
Board with a polyethylene film for hot and cold liquid. Microwave-safe for reheating; recycled only where cup collection exists.
260–350gsmAqueous-lined cupstock
A water-based lining instead of PE. Repulpable in ordinary paper recycling in more places, and compostable; a slightly shorter hold time.
260–320gsmGreaseproof and glassine
Dense, calendered paper that resists fat through the fiber. Wraps, liners and interleaves; breathable, so pastry stays crisp.
30–55gsmFood-grade corrugated
E and B flute with a food-contact liner, vented where steam has to leave. Pizza, catering and anything hot and heavy.
E and B fluteMolded pulp and bagasse
Fiber pressed into a shape. Holds heat, resists grease with no lining, composts, and takes only an embossed or one-color mark.
Molded to shapeRecycled board
Post-consumer fiber. Used for outers, sleeves and anything that does not touch food directly — not for direct contact.
Non-contact onlyNot sure which? Say what goes in it and where it is sold — the material follows from that. Our notes on recycled, recyclable and compostable cover which claims each stock can honestly carry.
- 01
Send what you have
A dimension, a photograph beside a ruler, or the product itself. No technical drawing needed — that part is ours.
- 02
We quote and draw
A price, a dieline and a date come back together. If a different build would suit the product better, that is in the reply too.
- 03
Approve the dieline
The flat drawing is yours to check: which panel is the front, where the folds fall, how deep the cavity really is.
- 04
Artwork on the dieline
You place your design on the flat we sent, or we place it for you, and you see a proof before anything goes to press.
- 05
A sample if you want one
A plain unprinted sample at the finished size shows fit and construction — the things a drawing cannot.
- 06
Cut, printed, shipped
The die is cut once and kept, so every reorder skips the tooling and goes straight to press at a lower unit price.
Format
Vector PDF or AI where possible. Raster artwork at 300dpi at final size, in CMYK.
Bleed
3 mm past every trim line, so a fraction of drift on the cutter never leaves a white edge.
Safe area
Keep type and anything important 4 mm inside the cut and away from every fold.
Color
Convert to CMYK before sending. Uncoated stock prints lighter; a spot color is the only exact match.
Fonts
Outline them or supply the files. A missing font substitutes silently and the proof will not match.
Barcodes
On a light, matte, unvarnished patch with the quiet zone clear — a code on gloss fails the scanner.
Not set up that way? Send it anyway — fixing a file is a short conversation, and we check every one before press. Our guide to preparing print files covers each point.
Food finishes are limited by what may touch food, and that is the point.
Food-safe inks
Printed on the outer face only. Every food pack we make uses them, laminated or not.
Uncoated kraft
No coating at all. Breathable, so pastry stays crisp, and it takes one or two colors.
Aqueous varnish
Scuff resistance without a plastic film, so the pack still repulps.
Molded emboss
A logo pressed into pulp or bagasse. No ink, nothing to rub off, and it survives grease.
Grease-resistant face
Not a finish you can see. It is in the sheet, it is PFAS-free, and it is why the print stays clean.
Matte lamination
Available on outers and sleeves that never touch food — a cake box lid, a carrier, a gift sleeve.
Not sure which suits the shelf it sells from? Say where the product is sold and we suggest one — our notes on specialty finishes show them on real boxes.
Sizing food packaging around a portion, hot: twin scoop ice cream cone sleeves
Food is sized by serving, not by dimensions, and it is served hot, heaped and in a hurry. Send us the portion — or better, the box you use now with the food in it — and we size to how it is actually filled.
- Portion, heaped
- Fries, popcorn and salad are served above the rim. A box sized to a level fill looks mean and spills in a bag.
- Lid clearance
- Enough that a loaded burger or a topped cake does not touch the lid. This is the single most common complaint about a food box.
- Venting
- Hot food steams. Vents in the lid keep pastry and fries crisp; a sealed box is right only for cold food.
- Grease path
- Where the fat sits decides the board. Say if the food is fried, buttered or sauced, and whether it is held for minutes or an hour.
- Stacking in a bag
- Delivery boxes are stacked five high on a bike. The lid has to hold the box above it off the food below.
- Sample fill
- A plain box filled from your kitchen settles the size in one try, and we send one before the run.
Not sure your numbers are right? Send the product dimensions rather than the box dimensions and we work the box out — the full method is in our guide to measuring for a box.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about twin scoop ice cream cone sleeves? The answers below cover what we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it with a brief, message us on WhatsApp, or call +1 503-461-4788 — we reply the same working day.
Will the sleeve slide down a double cone?
Not when the taper is matched to your cone and the mouth is sized to the rim plus 3–4 mm. It grips at the base.
Does it catch drips?
The drip-catch version has a wider skirt at the mouth for that. The standard sleeve keeps the hand clean.
Will it go soggy?
No, the board is moisture-resistant in the sheet and holds its shape wet for the life of the cone.
Is it PFAS-free?
Yes.
Do I need to send a cone?
Yes. Sugar, waffle and cake cones taper differently and each is its own die.
What is the minimum order?
100 sleeves.
Can it hold a napkin?
Yes, a slot that holds a folded napkin against the sleeve.
Are the inks food safe?
Yes, printed on the outside with a plain face against the cone.
Do they arrive assembled?
Flat and pre-glued; they open with a squeeze at the counter.
Can I print a pattern?
Yes, placed on the flat sector so it wraps the taper. The dieline shows where it lands.
How are they packed?
Flat in cases of 500 or 1,000.
Do you ship outside the US?
Yes, to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, quoted in the delivery currency.
