Custom ice-cream cup FAQ

What sizes are available for your custom ice-cream cups?

We offer four sizes: 2oz, 3oz, 5oz and 11oz. These cover small tasting portions through to full-serve gelato cups.

What is the minimum order for custom printing?

Our custom ice-cream cups start from just 250 units, making them ideal for both small events and ongoing wholesale use.

Are the custom ice-cream cups compostable or recyclable?

You can choose between AS5810 home-compostable cups printed with compost-safe inks, or PE-coated recyclable cups. Both options are suitable for frozen desserts.

Can I print full-colour artwork on the ice-cream cups?

For orders under 5,000 units, we offer our Simple Print: your branding on a clean white background for crisp results. For wholesale runs, we can print full-colour backgrounds using individual colour plates (one colour per plate) for rich, all-over coverage.

Do you offer help with the design layout?

Yes. We provide artwork assistance, dielines and free artwork checks to ensure your design wraps cleanly around the curved cup.

Will the cups hold up well with gelato or frozen yoghurt?

Absolutely. Our ice-cream cups are designed specifically for frozen products and maintain their shape even with wet, cold or dense desserts.

Can I order lids for the ice-cream cups?

At this stage, lids are available for our custom paper bowls only. Ice‑cream cups are supplied without lids. If you require lidded packaging, our paper bowls pair with matching lids.

How long does production take for custom ice-cream cups?

Retail orders under 5,000 units: 10–15 business days after proof approval. Wholesale orders over 10,000 units: around 6 weeks.

Can I split my order across multiple designs?

Yes. You can mix several artworks as long as the combined quantity for each size meets the 250-unit minimum.

Are the cups suitable for hot food or only ice-cream?

These are designed specifically for frozen desserts. For hot foods, we recommend our paper food bowls instead.

Will the printed colours match my brand colours?

Colours print very accurately on our ice-cream cup materials. There may be slight differences due to the material surface, but we match your artwork as closely as possible.

Do you accept Pantone colours?

Pantone colours are converted to CMYK for printing on ice-cream cups. We can get close to your Pantone values, but exact Pantone matching isn’t available on compostable stock.

Do you ship custom ice-cream cups around Australia?

Yes. We deliver nationwide with parcel, pallet and express freight options.

Do you have wholesale pricing for high-volume ice-cream cup orders?

Yes. We offer structured wholesale pricing for gelato shops, dessert brands, venues and multi-location groups.

Can I get a sample of the ice-cream cups before ordering?

We can send blank samples or previous print examples. Custom printed samples require the standard 250-unit print run.

What artwork file format do you need for custom ice-cream cup printing?

Please supply artwork as a CMYK PDF with outlined fonts and embedded images. Our dielines are provided for each cup size.

Do you print other cups?

Yes. We also print custom coffee cups. See our Custom Coffee Cups collection.
