Cone Sleeves for Glasgow Businesses

Glasgow has one of the oldest ice cream traditions in Britain, built by Italian-Scottish families whose cafés have been trading for generations. Several of them still sell the same cones from the same premises.

Alongside that sits a fast-moving contemporary scene in Finnieston and the Merchant City, which buys packaging on quite different terms.

Two Very Different Customers in One City

A long-established café usually wants a plain or single-colour sleeve that fits the cones it has always used, and it wants that supply to stay identical for years.

A newer dessert business wants full-colour artwork, changes it seasonally, and cares more about how it photographs than how it stores.

Delivery into Scotland

Scottish addresses are served by the same national carriers, and transit is typically a day longer than for English mainland addresses. Some carriers apply a surcharge to Scottish postcodes. We will tell you what applies to your address when we quote rather than after you order.

Packaging in Glasgow: Common Questions

Does delivery to Glasgow cost more?

Some carriers apply a surcharge to Scottish postcodes and transit is often a day longer than to English mainland addresses. We confirm what applies to your specific postcode on the quote rather than leaving it as a surprise.

Can you match a sleeve to cones we have used for years?

That is the usual request from established cafés. Post us two or three of the cones and the die is cut to their shape, so nothing about your counter has to change.

Can you match sleeves to cones we have used for years?

That is the usual request from established cafés. Post two or three cones and the die is cut to their shape.

Do you supply traditional Italian-Scottish cafés?

Frequently, and they usually want plain or single-colour sleeves that fit existing cones rather than a redesign.

What suits a Finnieston dessert bar?

Full-colour printed sleeves and trays, changed seasonally. That trade cares more about how it photographs than about unit cost.

Is there a Glasgow depot we can collect from?

No. We have no premises in Scotland, so everything travels by national carrier to your address.

How far ahead should we order for summer?

Earlier than English mainland sites, because Scottish transit adds time and surcharges apply to some postcodes.

Do you supply chip shops?

Yes, and grease-resistant board is the whole conversation there rather than print quality or finish.

Can we order plain sleeves only?

Yes, and many long-established cafés do exactly that. The die still has to be cut to your cones.

Do you supply Merchant City venues?

Yes, and that trade tends towards full-colour printed packaging changed seasonally, unlike the long-established café side of the city.
