Every summer, the consumption of cold drinks and desserts reaches its peak. People’s demand for ice cream and other cold treats is not only focused on taste and texture but also increasingly considers the practicality, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness of packaging when making purchases and choosing brands. Among various packaging options, ice cream paper bowls are becoming an increasingly popular choice for many food and beverage brands due to their lightweight, leak-proof, eco-friendly, and customizable features.
1. A structure designed for frozen food
Compared to solid or hot foods, ice cream has higher requirements for packaging materials. Ice cream is sensitive to temperature changes, moisture, and melting. Improper packaging can lead to leaks or deformation. Ice cream paper bowls are typically made from food-grade coated paper, with an inner layer of PE or PLA coating, which effectively prevents water and oil penetration and melting liquid leakage. The paper bowl has high stiffness, making it resistant to softening even when stored in a refrigerator or carried for extended periods. It is suitable for various ice cream types, including American soft ice cream, Italian ice cream, and fruit-flavored sorbet, maintaining good structural support and appearance.
2. Print friendly, enhance brand recognition
Ice cream, a visually appealing product, can leave a lasting impression on consumers when paired with a brand-sensitized packaging design. The surface of the paper bowl is ideal for large-scale color printing, which not only ensures clear and vivid patterns but also facilitates the presentation of the brand LOGO, event themes, and holiday motifs. Whether opting for a minimalist style or a youthful, personalized design, ice cream paper bowls can complement these styles effectively. This visual communication capability is particularly well-suited to the age of social media sharing, helping to boost exposure and customer engagement.
3.Multiple sizes, flexible response to use scenarios
Ice cream paper bowls come in a range of sizes from 120ml to 500ml, suitable for different consumers and sales formats:
Small sizes are suitable for sample tasting, children’s size, diet combination
Medium size is suitable for a regular portion for one person
The large capacity is suitable for two people sharing or family packages
At the same time, the opening diameter of the paper bowl is designed reasonably, which can be equipped with a transparent lid, kraft paper cover or heat seal film, which can be used for takeout, refrigerated display or offline retail.
4. Sustainable materials, adapt to the trend of environmental protection
The raw materials for paper bowls are sourced from renewable resources, and most products come with a PLA coating option, making them easier to recycle or degrade compared to traditional plastic containers. In regions with stringent environmental regulations, such as the EU, North America, and Australia, paper packaging has become the industry standard. By adopting eco-friendly packaging, companies not only comply with local regulations but also build a more responsible brand image among consumers. Paper bowls that meet FDA and LFGB food contact material standards also reduce food safety risks for catering businesses.
5. Flexible customization and batch supply support
Whether it’s a small dessert shop or a chain of cold drink brands, there is a practical need for flexible packaging procurement. Ice cream paper bowls typically support low-order customization, offering a variety of materials (such as kraft paper, white card, gold foil paper), patterns, styles, bowl shapes, and lid designs. These paper bowls are lightweight, making them easy to store and transport, and can be supplied in bulk as needed, adapting to seasonal demand fluctuations. Visually, they can also align with the brand’s other cold drink packaging, ensuring a cohesive and unified overall packaging system.
6. Present a complete part of the dessert experience
For consumers, ice cream is more than just a food; it’s a seasonal memory, a reflection of life’s moods, and a moment to share. The packaging plays a crucial role in this experience. A well-designed ice cream paper bowl serves not only as a container but also reflects the brand’s attention to detail and commitment to environmental responsibility. It is functional in use, impactful in visual communication, and consistent in brand building. The ice cream paper bowl has evolved beyond mere packaging to become an integral part of the cold drink experience.
