SIZES
Ice cream cup sizes in millilitres
Cups are sold in ounces, but what you're choosing is a serve.
| Size | Volume | Suits (as a guide) |
|---|---|---|
| 2oz | 60 ml | Tastings and samples |
| 3oz | 90 ml | Kids' serves, a small single scoop |
| 5oz | 150 ml | A single scoop |
| 8oz | 240 ml | A double scoop |
| 11oz | 325 ml | Three scoops, or serves with toppings |
The serve column is a rule of thumb, not a measured figure. How much fits depends on your scoop or paddle and how high the serve sits above the rim.
You don't need every size. Match each serve on your menu to a cup, then add 2oz if you offer tastings. Leave room for a wafer, a spoon or toppings. A sample pack ($10 ex GST, dispatched the next business day) lets you scoop real serves into the cups before you order.
LIDS
No lids on ice cream cups
Our ice cream cups are supplied without lids. For lidded serves, hot food and larger portions, use our paper bowls instead.
| Size | Volume |
|---|---|
| 8oz | 280 ml |
| 16oz | 440 ml |
| 20oz | 500 ml |
| 25oz | 600 ml |
| 30oz | 700 ml |
Lids: flat (white, black or clear), clear dome with or without a hole, or clear high dome. Paper bowls are PE-lined or aqueous coated, and Wholesale Print only, from 10,000 to 100,000+ bowls.
PRINT AND TIMING
Print options and lead times
- Simple Print: your logo on a white cup, in CMYK with a matte finish. Colours can look slightly faded, and it's our budget option. From 250 cups per size, with 15 business days of production.
- Wholesale Print: flexo printing in 1 to 5 Pantone spot colours on a white cup, from 10,000 to 100,000+ cups, with 30 business days of production.
Full Colour Print isn't available on ice cream cups. There's no white or metallic ink on any print type: white areas of your design are the cup itself. Use the template at 100%, keep text and logos inside the safe area, and keep text at 6 pt or larger. Our artwork guide covers the rest.
Proofs come back within 4 business hours. Approve before 2:30pm (Melbourne time) and production starts the next business day; after 2:30pm, the business day after that. Delivery after dispatch typically takes 1–2 business days to VIC, NSW and the ACT, 2–3 to QLD and SA, 3–4 to WA, and up to 6 to TAS and the NT.
If you need cups for the start of the warmer months or a set date, tell us before you order. This year we're closed from Friday 18 December to Friday 8 January (see Christmas trading), so summer orders are best placed early.
LININGS
Linings, and trading in SA or WA
Our ice cream cups come with a PE lining, a compostable (AS4736) lining or a home compostable (AS5810) lining. The home compostable lining is available on request with Simple Print and Wholesale Print. Compostable linings cost more than PE.
If you trade in South Australia or Western Australia, tell us before you order. Both states ban some plastic-lined single-use cups and foodware (Replace the Waste SA, WA Government, Plan for Plastics), so for SA and WA we supply ice cream cups compostable: AS4736 by default, or AS5810 on request. Our materials and certifications guide explains each lining.
