Why Choose Our PP Ice Cream Cups?

  • Exceptional Clarity – The high-transparency PP material showcases the vibrant colors and layers of your frozen treats, enhancing impulse buying and Instagram-worthy moments.
  • Crack-Resistant at Low Temperatures – Unlike some plastics that become brittle when frozen, our cups remain tough and shatterproof, reducing waste during storage and handling.
  • Smooth, Comfortable Rim – Every cup features a rolled or straight rim design that feels pleasant on the lips and provides a secure seat for snap-on lids, preventing leaks during transport.
  • Stackable Design – Tapered sidewalls allow compact nesting, which saves shelf space and accelerates dispensing in high-traffic settings.
  • Versatile Printing Options – Brand your cups with vibrant logos, nutritional information, or seasonal artwork. Our advanced printing technology ensures sharp, fade-resistant graphics that withstand condensation.
  • Eco-Conscious Choices – Polypropylene is widely recyclable (resin code #5). We also offer lightweighting options to reduce plastic content without compromising performance.

Applications Across the Frozen Dessert Sector

From single-serve takeaway scoops to elegant dine-in dessert experiences, these cups adapt to multiple service styles:

  • Artisanal gelato and sorbet counters
  • Soft-serve and frozen yogurt shops with toppings bar
  • Pre-packaged supermarket ice cream pints and individuals
  • Catering and event dessert stations

Customization and OEM Services

We understand that brand differentiation is key. Apart from the standard clear cup, you can order opaque colors, translucent tints, or frosted finishes. Our in-house tooling allows us to modify dimensions, add custom embossing, or create multi-pack sleeves. All customization projects receive 3D prototype samples and test fills to guarantee compatibility with your existing filling machinery.

Packaging and Shipping

Each cup is carefully packed in PE bags and strong export-grade cartons to avoid dust contamination and deformation. Carton labels indicate quantity, production date, batch number, and certifications. We partner with major freight lines to offer FOB and CIF terms, with typical lead times of 15–25 days after artwork approval for custom printed orders. Stock items can ship within 5–7 working days.

With a 20-year track record in food packaging manufacturing, we combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of the frozen dessert market. Our PP plastic cups provide consistent quality, helping you serve every scoop with confidence.
