Steps to choosing the right ice cream paper cups for your brand

　　Looking for the right ice cream paper cups for your business? From size to printed graphics, the ice cream paper cups you choose for take-out and pre-packaging can have a significant impact on your customer satisfaction, brand and overall business. Paper ice cream cups come in a variety of designs and sizes, from small 3.5-ounce containers to large 14-, 16- and 32-ounce containers. Choosing the right ice cream container can help you make the right choice for your customers while enhancing your brand image.

　　Calculate your size requirements
　　How big is your average serving of ice cream? One of the most important factors to consider when comparing ice cream paper cups is the average serving size your store offers its customers. Most ice cream stores offer a variety of sizes, from one scoop of ice cream all the way up to large pre-packaged ice cream containers. Typically, you will need to consider three different sizes in order to provide the best option for your customers.

　　Generally speaking, 3.5 ounce containers are good for your smallest servings, while 5 ounce and 8 ounce containers are great for medium and large servings. If you sell pre-made ice cream, you'll also want to add some larger 12, 16 and 32 ounce containers for take-out. While it's good to offer your customers choices, it's also important to limit them. Often, you'll want to stick with up to three different sizes of paper ice cream cups to help reduce customer buying friction and keep the menu simple and straightforward.

　　Choose between branded or generic
　　Ice cream paper cups and other supplies can be offered as generic products or with custom branding. Each of these options offers advantages, with generic supplies being cheaper and immediately available, and custom-branded containers being eye-catching and ideal for brand marketing. Most of the time, the best option is to invest in custom-branded paper ice cream cups to market your business and strengthen your brand. However, these products usually have lead times, which means you may have to wait a few weeks for your order to be ready. As an alternative, paper ice cream cups with custom stickers can also help you market your brand and promote your business while waiting for your custom supply.

　　Do you need matching lids
　　While most of your customers will want to enjoy their ice cream immediately, others may want to take it home and enjoy it later. Therefore, it is a good idea to provide matching lids for your ice cream paper cups. There are several types of ice cream paper cups, the most common of which are plastic domed lids and flat lids. If you're serving sundaes, shakes and ice cream mixes, you'll need to make sure you have a range of plastic domed lids available as well as matching scoops. For regular scoops of ice cream, it's also worth investing in flat lids, which can be used for take-out orders as well as pre-made, pre-packaged ice cream products.
