Measure the cone at the sleeve position

Provide the cone's length and the width where the sleeve will sit, then show how far up or down the cone it should reach. If the sleeve is for a particular cone style or serving size, include a sample or clear measurements. A fit check matters because the cone tapers rather than forming a straight tube.

Set out food-contact and service conditions

Explain whether the sleeve touches the food, the cone, or both, and whether it is applied before or during service. If it may contact food, request confirmation that the proposed material, print and any coating are suitable for those conditions. The Food Standards Agency notes that food-contact controls can apply to packaging, printing inks and adhesive labels.

What to send for a cone-sleeve quote

  • Cone length and width at the sleeve position
  • Serving size and preferred sleeve coverage
  • Material, print or coating requirement to verify
  • Artwork, quantity and delivery postcode

Check the artwork on the tapered format

Send a logo or print file and identify the area that needs to remain visible when the sleeve is wrapped around the cone. Ask for the material, print area and fit to be confirmed against a sample or drawing. Approve the written specification before production; no shelf-life, temperature or sales benefit is assumed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size sleeve fits a cone?

Cone sleeves are sized to the cone's height and top diameter. Send us your cone measurements and we will suggest a fit.

What board is used for cone sleeves?

There is no single board grade for all specifications of Custom Cone Sleeves. Tell us what will go inside and how it will be stored, displayed or shipped; the selected grade is confirmed against that brief.

Can I print my brand on the sleeve?

Yes, your brand and design can be printed in full colour (CMYK) or single colour.

Is the sleeve food-safe?

If food will touch the inside of the pack, include the food type and whether it is hot, oily or damp in your brief. Suitability depends on the exact board, inks, coating and liner, so it must be confirmed for the intended use before production.

Can I print a design that wraps all the way round?

Yes, the design can wrap all the way round the sleeve. We will check the artwork for the right bleed.

How many cone sleeves fit in one carton?

Capacity depends on the internal dimensions and how each item is packed. Send the item measurements, count per box and any divider or padding requirements so the layout can be checked before production.

Can I order cone sleeves as a plain design?

Tell us how you want the plain design to work with the packed product and share the quantity. The suitable specification and any extra charge for Custom Cone Sleeves are confirmed against the final design.

How long does it take to get cone sleeves?

Timing depends on the chosen structure, print and quantity. The quote confirms the production window after artwork and specification approval; delivery timing is checked against the destination.
