Cone Sleeves

Crepe Cone Packaging

A rolled crepe is wider, heavier and considerably wetter than an ice cream cone. Fillings move, sauces run, and the whole thing is warm.

Packaging for it is closer to a chip cone than an ice cream sleeve, despite the shape being similar.

Design Your Own

Design Your Crepe Cone Packaging

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

Sleeve colour

Name on the pack

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

Leave two or three centimetres of wafer showing. Customers read a visible cone as freshly made, and the sleeve still catches the first drips.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

Crepe Cones Against Ice Cream Cones

The differences all push in the same direction: more board, more coverage.

	Crepe cone	Ice cream cone
Top diameter	Wider — a rolled crepe opens out considerably	Set by the wafer
Weight	Heavier once filled	Lighter
Moisture	Warm, wet fillings and sauces	Cold melt, slower
Structure	The wrap holds the crepe; there is no rigid cone inside	The wafer holds itself
Board needed	Grease-resistant, heavier	Standard board is usually adequate

The structural point is the important one: a crepe cone holder is doing the job the wafer does in an ice cream cone.

The Holder Is the Structure

With no rigid cone inside, the packaging carries the whole load. A light wrap folds and the crepe collapses out of the bottom.

That is why crepe holders are cut deeper and in heavier board than an ice cream sleeve of the same top diameter.

What to Confirm Before Ordering

The diameter of your rolled crepe at its widest, measured after filling.
Whether sauces are added on top, which sets how high the holder should reach.
Whether the crepe is served immediately or held briefly under a lamp.
How much of the crepe you want visible for presentation.

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Send us two or three of the cones you use, or the top diameter and slant height. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

We supply a die template cut to your cone before design work starts. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.

Turnaround

Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.

Delivery in the UK

Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.

Crepe Cone Packaging: Common Questions

Can a crepe holder be printed on the inside?

It can, and on a deep holder the inner face is visible every time the customer looks down. It adds a press pass, so decide before quoting rather than after.

Do crepe cones need a closed point?

A closed or tightly folded point is worth specifying. Warm fillings settle downwards, and an open point turns into a slow leak by the time the customer reaches the bottom.

How is a crepe holder different from an ice cream sleeve?

It is doing the job the wafer does in an ice cream cone. With nothing rigid inside, the holder carries the whole load, so it is cut deeper and in a heavier board.

What measurement do you need?

The diameter of your rolled crepe at its widest, measured after filling, plus how high the toppings sit. Both change with pan size and how tightly your team rolls.

Do crepe holders need a closed point?

Worth specifying. Warm fillings settle downwards, and an open point becomes a slow leak by the time the customer reaches the bottom.

Can the inside be printed?

On a deep holder the inner face is visible whenever the customer looks down, so it is worth considering. It adds a press pass, so decide before quoting.

Will chocolate sauce soak through?

Not through a greaseproof-lined board within a normal serve. On plain board it shows as a dark patch within a few minutes.

Are these suitable for savoury crepes?

Yes, and savoury fillings are often oilier, which strengthens the case for a lined board rather than a plain one.

Can we use one holder for folded and rolled crepes?

No. A folded crepe is a triangle and a rolled one is a cone, so the dies have nothing in common. Sites serving both need two items.

How do they ship?

Flat and die-cut, assembled at the counter. A deeper holder uses more board per unit but still stores far more compactly than a formed container.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
