Custom Ice Cream Packaging
Printed to your exact size · from 50 boxes · free design & US shipping
Freezer packaging is a different discipline. Condensation attacks the board, standard inks can craze at low temperature, and anything that delaminates in a freezer looks like a product fault rather than a packaging one.

What to get right
The three things that decide whether ice cream tubs work in practice, from the people who print them.
- Say "freezer" on the enquiry. It changes the board, the coating and the adhesive, and none of the three can be corrected later.
- Soft-touch laminate marks badly with frost. Matte or gloss holds up much better.
- If the tub is the primary container it needs a liner. If it sleeves a tub, it can run on far cheaper stock.

Ice cream tubs — FAQs
Will the box survive a freezer?
When it is specified for one, yes — freezer-grade board, freezer-safe coating and an adhesive rated for low temperature. Flag it on the enquiry.
Can you make the tub itself?
We make the carton and the sleeve. Where the pack is a lined tub, tell us and it is quoted on poly-lined stock.
What is the minimum order?
Fifty units. Freezer stock has no tooling charge here, which is unusual for the format.
