All you need to know about personalized paper ice cream cones
In the world of artisanal ice cream, every detail contributes to the customer experience and enhances the product. The paper cone, although it may seem secondary, plays a strategic role: it ensures a good grip, improves hygiene, reduces drips… and above all, it becomes a full-fledged communication medium when personalized.
Covr offers a complete range of custom ice cream cones made of paper, designed to meet the expectations of ice cream makers, restaurateurs and event professionals looking to combine aesthetics, quality and environmental responsibility. Here’s everything you need to know before placing an order.

Customization: a true communication tool
Customizing the ice cream cones is much more than adding a logo. It’s an opportunity to:
-
Strengthen your brand recognition through immediate visual presence
-
Create visual consistency with your other media (signs, storefront, social networks)
-
Offer a polished customer experience from product to packaging
Covr’s cones can be printed with up to three colors in CMYK, using inks specifically developed for food contact. The finish can be tailored to your visual identity: subtle design, marketing message, seasonal graphic theme, etc.
Production and delivery times
The standard lead time is 8 to 10 weeks after approval of the proof (BAT). This includes production, printing, shaping and delivery. For specific needs or tight deadlines (season launch, event…), please contact us to assess the feasibility of a reduced timeframe.
Food compliance and safety
All cones are made from food-grade paper. Printing is done with inks that comply with European regulations, specifically:
-
Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food
-
Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practice
The manufacturing processes ensure no ink migration, taste, or undesirable odor – for an optimal tasting experience.
A responsible choice: certified and biodegradable materials
Covr’s paper cones are made from materials sourced from sustainably managed forests and PEFC-certified. They are biodegradable under certain environmental conditions, making them a credible alternative to plastic or mixed-material packaging.
This choice aligns with a global approach to eco-responsibility, increasingly expected by consumers and valued by brands.
In summary
The custom ice cream cone is a discreet but strategic medium: it enhances your product's quality, communicates your brand, and contributes to your business’s eco-friendly image. Covr provides its expertise in food packaging to offer cones tailored to your requirements, image, and commercial ambitions.
