Why Ice Cream Brands Choose Kraft Cone Sleeves

A cone sleeve plays more than one role in the customer experience. Alongside protecting the product, it can be considered a small but consistent branding opportunity that is seen and held by the customer at the point of consumption.

The following benefits are commonly associated with kraft cone sleeves:

• Brand recognition is supported through custom logo printing, brand colours, and full-colour CMYK or PMS printing directly on the sleeve.
• Product protection is provided as the sleeve forms a barrier against melting, leaks, and sogginess, helping the cone retain its shape and crispiness.
• An eco-friendly choice is made possible by the use of recyclable and biodegradable kraft material, which is considered suitable for sustainable packaging programmes.
• A comfortable grip is offered, helping reduce mess and making the cone easier to hold.
• Moisture resistance and grease resistance help maintain appearance during service.
• Heat resistance assists in protecting temperature-sensitive desserts during outdoor service and warmer conditions.

Materials Used in Cone Sleeve Production

A range of materials can be selected when custom cone sleeves are being specified, depending on the look, durability, and budget required:

• Kraft Paper

• Bux Board

This variety allows a cone sleeve to be matched to the positioning of the brand — whether that calls for a natural, rustic kraft finish or a more premium, structured board.
