In the ice cream business, a cup is not only a container — it’s a part of the customer’s experience. When cups crack in the freezer, leak, or fade, the brand’s image melts faster than the ice cream inside.
Poor packaging shows quickly: rims that warp, prints that smear, cups that collapse under cold. That’s why we designed the Ice Cream Paper Cup Series — cups built for real-world use.
How Does Haokelao’s Ice Cream Paper Cup Solve Daily Shop Problems?
Ice cream cups need to survive cold storage, look good on shelves, and protect the product inside.
Our series uses solid paperboard with a PE coating, resisting moisture and grease, while keeping the structure intact even at −40°C.
Key performance metrics:
- Leak-resistance: Over 2 hours in stationary test
- Freezer durability: No cracks at −40°C
- Stacking stability: Over 20 layers without collapse
- Rim curl strength: ≥ 15N, resists tearing
- Moisture permeability: ≤ 5 g/m²·24h, keeps toppings fresh
- Reinforced base load: Holds 1.2 kg in 500 ml size without cracking
These are tested, not theoretical, figures — reducing returns, waste, and customer complaints.
What Printing and Customization Options Are Available?
Ice cream is a visual product, so packaging must match that appeal.
We use high-resolution (≤0.1 mm) water-based ink printing, delivering sharp, vivid logos with strong adhesion and color-fastness rated 4–5.
Custom features:
- Up to 8 colors per design
- Color accuracy (ΔE ≤ 2.0) for brand consistency across stores
- OEM/ODM service for unique branding
- Water-based inks with fewer VOCs, safer for food contact
Logos remain crisp through handling, cold storage, and service.
How Do These Cups Meet Sustainability and Safety Standards?
Eco-conscious brands can meet sustainability goals without sacrificing performance.
The paper base is 95%+ recyclable and compostable under industrial conditions, meeting EU compostability requirements.
Sustainability and safety facts:
- Heavy metals: Pb < 5 ppm, Cd < 0.5 ppm
