About Cone Sleeves UK
We print cone sleeves, food sleeves, trays, cups, papers and bags for food businesses across the United Kingdom, sized from the products they already serve.
What We Do
We supply printed packaging to UK food businesses: ice cream shops, dessert bars, cafés, takeaways, bakeries, street food traders and event caterers. The catalogue runs to 170 products across 7 ranges, and every one of them is quoted against a specification rather than sold from a shelf.
The common thread is that nothing is a stock size. A cone sleeve is cut to the cone you already buy, a cup sleeve to the cup already in your cupboard, a tray to the portion you already serve. That is the part most packaging orders get wrong, so it is where we start.
How We Work
Send us the product — a cone, a cup, a container, or a photograph of a made-up portion with a ruler beside it. We cut the die from that, confirm the board, lining, print method and finish in writing, and send a flat sample where the job allows it before anything is printed.
Artwork goes onto a template shaped to your product, which we supply before design work begins. Our artwork guidelines set out the file formats, bleed and colour information we need.
What We Will Not Do
A great deal of packaging marketing consists of numbers that apply to nothing in particular. We have deliberately left those off this website.
- No published lead times. Turnaround moves with the print method, the run length and how busy the press is that month. Yours goes on your quote.
- No single minimum order quantity. It follows from the print method your job needs, and a short digital run behaves nothing like a long conventional one.
- No blanket recycling claims. We tell you exactly what board, lining and finish a quoted item uses. Whether it is recycled depends on the collection available where it is thrown away, which we do not control.
- No reviews, ratings or testimonials. None have been independently collected, so none are published. You will not find star ratings in our page markup either.
- No claims of local offices. Our area pagesdescribe the trade in each place, not branches we do not have.
Where We Supply
Anywhere in the United Kingdom. Orders travel on national carriers, and we cover25 areas in detail on this site because there is something specific worth saying about the trade in each. Delivery to everywhere else works exactly the same way — seedelivery information for how dates are given.
Talking to Us
We work by email and telephone and post physical samples rather than meeting in person. Sizing questions are almost always quicker on the phone with the product in your hand.

Company registration details pending confirmationThe trading address is published in the footer and on the contact page. The registered company name, company registration number, VAT number and registered office have not been, because they have not yet been supplied. They are configured through environment variables and will appear as soon as the real values are provided. Nothing has been invented in their place.

Questions We Are Asked
Who is Cone Sleeves UK?
A supplier of printed cone sleeves and food packaging to businesses across the United Kingdom, working to specification rather than from a stock list. The catalogue is broad because the customers are: an ice cream shop and a street food trader need different things from the same range.
Why does the site not publish prices?
Because a unit price with no quantity, board, colour count or finish attached to it is a number that will be wrong when you order. Every job is quoted against its own specification, which is slower to read and considerably more accurate.
Why are lead times and minimum quantities missing?
They have not been confirmed for publication, so rather than invent figures that would bind the business to something it has not agreed, the pages that would carry them say plainly that they are pending. They will appear once confirmed.
Are there any certifications listed?
None, because none have been supplied for publication. Food-contact and forestry certifications are verifiable claims that a buyer may rely on, and stating one that cannot be evidenced would be worse than stating nothing.
Why are there no customer reviews on the site?
Because there is no collected review data behind them. Ratings assembled without genuine responses are straightforwardly misleading, and the structured data on this site omits them for the same reason.
What is the relationship to the old .com site?
The catalogue and the images came across; not a sentence of the writing did. The old site was written for a United States market with claims that do not hold here, so every page was rewritten from scratch.
What kinds of businesses do you supply?
Ice cream shops and dessert bars, cafés and coffee shops, takeaways and chip shops, bakeries, street food traders, event and contract caterers, and farm shops packing their own produce.
Is there a minimum size of business you work with?
No, though the economics differ. A single kiosk usually gets more from sleeving a plain cup than from a printed cup run, and it is worth saying so rather than selling the larger job.
How is a job actually specified?
From the product you already serve. Send a cone, a cup or a photograph with a ruler beside it, and the die is cut to that. Board, lining, print method and finish are then confirmed in writing before anything runs.
What happens after we approve a proof?
The job goes to production against exactly what you approved, which is why the proof stage deserves a careful read rather than a quick one. Errors present in an approved proof cannot be unwound afterwards.
