Food Sleeves

Custom Crepe Sleeves

Crepes are served folded into a triangle or rolled into a cone, and the two need completely different packaging. This page covers the folded version; the rolled one is closer to a cone holder.

Either way, warm chocolate sauce is the material the board has to survive.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Crepe Sleeves

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.

A representation of custom crepe sleeves in the colour you pickYOUR NAME

Sleeve colour

Finish

A narrow band uses less board than a full wrap and carries the same name. Wrap deeper only where the filling actually runs.

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.

Sweet Fillings Are Harder on Board than They Look

Chocolate spread and caramel are oil-based and warm when served, which is a demanding combination for untreated board. Fruit adds water on top of that.

A greaseproof-lined board handles both. Plain board goes soft at the fold within a few minutes.

Folded Crepes: What the Sleeve Has to Do

  • Hold the triangle closed so fillings do not escape at the fold.
  • Give a clean grip at the wide end where the customer holds it.
  • Leave the point open so the crepe can be eaten without unwrapping.
  • Resist warm sauce for the length of a walk around a market.

Measure the made-up item as it leaves your pass, at its widest point. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

We send a flat die line so artwork is built on the right shape. 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.

Custom Crepe Sleeves: Common Questions

Do folded and rolled crepes use the same packaging?

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

Will chocolate sauce stain through the sleeve?

On a lined board, not within a normal serve. On plain board it shows as a dark patch at the fold quite quickly, which is why lining is the standard specification here.

Will chocolate sauce stain through?

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

How do we size a folded crepe sleeve?

From your folded crepe, which varies with pan size. Fold one as you serve it and measure the triangle rather than the flat crepe.

Should the point stay open?

Yes, so the customer can eat down without unwrapping. A fully closed sleeve means unwrapping a warm, sauced item in one hand.

Do fruit fillings need a different board?

Fruit adds water on top of the oil from a sweet filling. A lined board handles both; plain board goes soft at the fold faster with fruit.

Can we print full colour?

Yes, and crepe stands are usually visual businesses where it earns its cost. A matt finish handles warm, sticky contact better than gloss.

Are these suitable for savoury crepes?

Yes. Savoury fillings carry more free oil than sweet ones, so a lined board matters even more on a savoury crepe menu.

How do they ship?

Flat and die-cut. A triangular sleeve nests well, so a case holds a good quantity for the storage space it takes.

Can we order these alongside crepe cone holders?

Yes, and running both in one job keeps the colour consistent between the folded and rolled formats.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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