Materials for custom paper cones for food
The right material depends on how your food is served: hot or cold, dry or saucy, eaten on the spot or delivered across town. These are the options we recommend most often:
- Grease-resistant paperboard: holds hot, oily foods without softening.
- Kraft board: natural brown cones for street food.
- Coated paper: lighter cones for snacks and desserts.
- Double-wall board: extra insulation for hot loaded fries.
Standard sizes
Every order is made to your dimensions. These popular sizes are a good starting point:
| Size | Dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | 5 in tall, 2.5 in opening | nuts and candy |
| Standard | 7 in tall, 3.25 in opening | fries and churros |
| Large | 9 in tall, 4 in opening | popcorn chicken, mixed snacks |
| Crepe cone | 8.5 in tall, 5 in opening | sweet and savory crepes |
Printing and finishing options
Full-color CMYK printing reproduces food photography and bright brand colors, while Pantone matching keeps your logo consistent across every paper cones for food and the rest of your packaging.
Finishing options include matte or gloss aqueous coatings, grease-resistant coatings, window patches, foil stamping for premium lines, embossing and spot UV. We recommend food-safe inks and coatings on any surface that may touch the food.
Why packaging matters for snacks and street food
Packaging is part of the meal. For snacks and street food, it controls temperature, texture and presentation, and it's often the only part of your brand that travels home with the customer. Well-designed custom paper cones for food reduce mess and complaints, make your food look as good in photos as it does on the pass, and give you space to share your story, menu or loyalty offer. That is why so many food businesses treat custom packaging as an investment rather than a cost.
Food safety and performance
Food packaging has to perform under heat, grease, steam and cold. For custom paper cones for food, we typically recommend food-safe paper and grease-resistant coatings, and we'll match the board weight to the weight of your snacks and street food. If your food is hot and saucy, vents and grease barriers matter; if it's chilled or frozen, moisture-resistant coatings keep the box firm. Tell us how the food is served and we'll suggest the right build.
Sustainable options
Sustainability matters to diners. Kraft and recycled boards, plant-based windows and PFAS-free grease barriers are available on request, and we can print a short recycling or composting note on the box.
