Design Your Cone Sleeve

Work through the specification a step at a time. The panel on the right updates as you go, and at the end you can review everything, change anything, and send it to us as a quote request.

Questions We Are Asked

Is this preview a production proof?

No, and this page says so on screen. It shows layout and proportion on a generic shape, not the die cut for your cone. A production proof is issued separately once the specification and the template are agreed.

Will the printed colours match what we see here?

Not exactly. A screen emits light and board reflects it, so the two can never agree. Where colour is critical, ask about a printed sample before approving anything rather than trusting the preview.

Can we save what we build here?

Take a screenshot and attach it to your enquiry. This page is a sketchpad rather than a store, and the details that actually matter — size, board, colour count — are settled in the written specification.

Does the design here get sent to press?

No. What you build here communicates an idea to us. Print-ready artwork is drawn to the die template we issue, at the correct resolution and with bleed, which a browser cannot produce.

Do we need design software to use it?

No, that is the point of it. It runs in the browser and is meant for a rough arrangement of a logo and some text so a conversation can start from something visual.

Can we upload our own logo into the preview?

The designer is deliberately simple, so send your logo with the enquiry instead. That way it reaches us at full quality rather than as a screen-sized copy.

How close is the shape to a real sleeve?

It is representative rather than measured. Real sleeves are cut to your own cone, and the height, taper and overlap all shift with it, which is why the die comes from a physical sample.

What should we avoid putting near the edges?

Anything that has to survive intact — a logo, a name, a legal mark. Cutting has a tolerance, so keep important elements a few millimetres inside the trim and let backgrounds run past it.

How many colours should a first design use?

Fewer than instinct suggests. One or two well-chosen inks print cleanly on almost any board, whereas a four-colour design on unbleached kraft rarely looks the way it does on screen.

What is the next step once we have an idea?

Send it with a photograph of the cone or cup it wraps. The physical product is what turns a sketch into a specification, and it is the one thing a screen cannot supply.
