CUSTOM GELATO CUPS

Gelato is presented differently to ice cream, and the packaging is part of how that difference is communicated to the customer. Eco Packaging America produces custom gelato cups with the shallower, wider profile the category uses, in finishes that support artisan and premium positioning.

Why Choose Gelato Cups?

• ✓Profile suited to the spade gelato is served in shaped layers rather than scooped balls, and a wider, shallower cup lets staff present it the way the product is meant to look.
• ✓Finishes that read as artisan matte, soft-touch and uncoated looks signal small-batch craft far more effectively than a high-gloss finish.
• ✓Right-sized portions gelato portions are typically smaller and denser than ice cream, so our formats reflect real serving practice rather than borrowed sizing.
• ✓Consistent across your line the same design language runs from tasting cups through to take-home containers, which supports a premium price point.

Styles & Options We Offer

Shallow Gelato Cups

A wide, low profile that shows off a spaded presentation and the texture of the product. This is the shape most closely associated with authentic gelaterias.

Matte & Soft-Touch Gelato Cups

Premium exterior finishes with a tactile feel that customers register as soon as they take the cup. Suited to brands competing on craft rather than price.

Gelato Take-Home Tubs

Larger sealed containers for customers taking product home, with space for flavor labeling and storage guidance. Also the format most often used for local wholesale accounts.

Customization Options

• ✓Materials: Double poly-coated food-grade paperboard, freezer-stable PP and PET, and PLA-lined compostable stock
• ✓Printing: Offset and flexographic printing, full CMYK, PMS color matching, water-based food-safe inks
• ✓Finishes: Gloss, matte and soft-touch exteriors, uncoated natural looks, and spot gloss on the logo

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Every cup in this range can be produced on PLA-lined, FSC-certified board that behaves the same way in a walk-in freezer as a conventional poly-coated cup. Eco Packaging America prints these with water-based, food-safe inks, and we will tell you honestly which compostable options your local waste stream actually accepts before you put a claim on the cup.
