Ice Cream Cone Holder printed for a UK food business

Ice Cream Cone Holders

A filled cone cannot be put down. That sounds trivial until a customer is trying to pay for two of them with a card and a pushchair.

A cone holder solves exactly that, and it is one of the few items here that customers thank staff for.

Design Your Own

Design Your Ice Cream Cone Holder

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

Put the branding on the face that points upwards. That is the one a customer looks at while carrying the tray back to a table.

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.

The Moments a Holder Is Needed

Paying at the Till

Two cones already made and a card to tap. Without a holder, one cone goes to a stranger or gets held under a chin.

Carrying More than One

A parent with two children cannot carry three cones. A four-cone holder makes it one trip.

Sitting at a Table

A holder lets a cone stand while a customer eats something else or takes a photograph.

Hole Size Decides Whether It Works

The cut-out has to grip the cone partway down its taper. Too large and the cone drops through; too small and staff force it and crack the wafer.

Because it grips the taper rather than the rim, the hole size is specific to your cone. This is not a product that works from a stock size.

Holders are normally ordered with the cone sleeve range these are sized alongside, cut from the same cone measurements.

Specification

Capacity	One, two or four cones
Hole size	Cut to grip your cone partway down the taper
Board	Rigid enough to hold cones without flexing
Supply	Flat, assembled at the counter
Print	The top face, which is what customers see

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Tell us the internal size you need and what the tray has to carry. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

Artwork sits on the rim and outer faces; the base is covered by food. 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.

Ice Cream Cone Holder: Common Questions

Will one holder fit both our cone sizes?

Rarely. The hole grips the taper, so a hole cut for a waffle cone lets a sugar cone drop straight through. Sites with two cone types normally need two holders or one with mixed hole sizes.

Do holders work with a sleeve already on the cone?

They need to be cut allowing for it, because the sleeve adds thickness at exactly the point the holder grips. Tell us if cones are sleeved first and we will size the hole accordingly.

Do holders work with a sleeve already fitted?

Only if cut allowing for it, because the sleeve adds thickness exactly where the holder grips. Tell us if cones are pre-sleeved.

How many cones should a holder take?

One, two or four. Beyond four it becomes too wide to carry comfortably through a doorway.

Do these arrive assembled?

Flat, and formed at the counter. That keeps storage small, which matters at a kiosk where counter space is tight.

What board weight does a holder need?

Rigid enough not to flex under filled cones. A holder that bends at the centre tips its cones, which is the failure customers notice.

Can we print the top face?

That is the face worth printing, since it is what customers see while the holder sits on the counter.

Will the holder stand on an uneven surface?

A wide flat base helps. On a market stall or a van counter that is worth specifying rather than assuming.

Can we order these with matching sleeves?

Yes, and cutting both from the same cone measurements is the reliable way to make the fit work together.

Can we order holders and carriers together?

Yes, and sites doing both counter service and takeaway usually need each. One job shares the setup between them.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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