Materials Used for Ice-Cream Cone Covers

We have mentioned some popular materials you can choose to get your cone sleeves manufactured:

Kraft Material

Kraft is a popular choice for making ice cream cone sleeves. It is highly customizable into different shapes and sizes.  Kraft is made of recyclable materials, so it is economically and environmentally feasible. For its ability to support numerous add-ons and print techniques, it is considered versatile.

Cardboard Material

Corrugated material being sturdy and durable, offers many applications, one of which is cone sleeves. This material keeps the cone protected and crunchy as it goes through shipping and retail handling. It is also inexpensive and recyclable.  

Cardstock Material

It is a very versatile material commonly used in the food industry. Cardstock is highly customizable; hence can be made into different sizes, thicknesses, and shapes. It also supports various printing techniques and add-ons. It is budget-friendly as well as eco-friendly. 

Printing Techniques for Cone Sleeves

Making the correct choice of printing technique is essential if you want your custom cone sleeves to look trendy and well custom designed. Here are the two popular printing methods we offer;

1. Offset Printing Technique
2. Digital Printing Technique

Offset Printing 

This printing technique is also known as lithographic printing. It involves transferring an image on a rubber plate with paint and then shifted onto the sheet/paper. Offset is the ideal choice for large-scale orders and delivers high quality prints with vibrant images.

Digital Printing 

Digital printing is a quick and easy method of printing small and large-scale orders without requiring a big setup. The technique involves digitizing the logo/image and directly printing it on the sheet/paper. It also provides high-quality print at a low cost. 

Get Custom Cone Sleeves That Stand Out With Exclusive Add-Ons

Phoenix Custom Boxes helps your custom ice cream cone sleeves stand out. We offer popular add-ons, as listed below, that help you achieve this.

Spot UV 

Spot UV technique raises the colors of a specific area. We apply a glossy liquid on the surface and dry it using UV light. The result is a smooth texture. Spot UV helps your custom cone sleeves become moisture resistant.

Embossing 

Emboss the cone sleeves to add another layer of dimension. You can get images, text, design, or logo pressed into the cone sleeves and create a raised shape with embossing.

Debossing 

This technique is the opposite of embossing and gives your logo, design, or brand name a sunken effect by pushing the material down on your ice cream cone sleeves. Furthermore, you can combine debossing and embossing with other add-ons to create a unique design for your cone sleeves.

Foiling / Hot Stamping

Foiling, also known as hot stamping, uses a metallic print and foil with hot dies to press onto your cone sleeve’s surface. Therefore, the results can be glossy, holographic, matte, or textured, giving an exclusive feel to the customers. 

Window Patching

Window patching is applying a transparent PVC film in a die-cut sheet. You can use this add-on with waffle cone paper sleeves to enhance the customer experience. This customization option will make them have a look at the product tempting them to taste it. 

Color Models for Cone Sleeves

Phoenix Custom Boxes offers vibrant and artistic color models, mentioned below, to create custom cone sleeves for your waffle cone.

CMYK Color Model

It is a subtractive color model based on four primary colors, i.e., Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. These colors mix and provide color gradients, with Black being the key that gives variety in tones with concentration variation. 

It does not provide accuracy throughout the devices and materials hence not suitable for branding. But if color consistency is not a priority, then CMYK is the way to go.

PMS Color Model

Pantone Matching System or PMS has more than 1100 colors. Furthermore, it has a standard coding for each shade to ensure color accuracy. It is a universal color model and provides the same shade across the globe. It is most suitable for branding as it promises color accuracy and precision. 

Finishing Coats for Cone Sleeves

Phoenix Custom Boxes helps you select the finishing coat for your ice cream cone covers, depending upon your requirements. We have mentioned our finishing coats below.

Matte Finish

If you want your custom cone sleeves to look decent and finest, then the matte finishing coat is best for you. It results in subtle shades and smooth touch.

Gloss Finish

If you want your cone sleeves to appear shiny and reflective, you must go for a glossy finish because it looks vibrant and attractive. 

Varnish Finish

If you want a shiny look but not overdone, then a varnish coat is the perfect choice for you as it gives semi-gloss effects.
