Custom Crepes Paper Cones
A crepe cone is street food at its most demanding. Hot batter, melted chocolate, cream and fruit all wrapped into a cone that somebody eats while walking. Grease goes straight through untreated board, the filling settles toward the tip, and the whole thing has to stay rigid in one hand. We produce a lot of crepes paper cones at ZEE Packaging and grease resistance is where every spec starts.
Grease Goes Through Untreated Board
This is the first thing to solve on any crepe cone.
- Butter, chocolate and cream all soak through bare paper quickly
- A grease resistant treatment rather than a full poly lining
- The tip is where filling collects, so that is where leaks start
- A sealed tip prevents drips onto hands and clothes
- Uncoated board goes translucent and limp within minutes
- Coating must be food safe at serving temperature
Most complaints we hear about crepes paper cones are grease breakthrough near the tip.
It Has To Hold In One Hand
People eat these while walking, which changes the requirement.
- Rigid enough that the cone does not collapse when gripped
- A tapered shape that funnels filling downward rather than sideways
- Enough length that the hand grips paper rather than crepe
- A rolled or reinforced rim so the top does not tear
- Fits a standard cone holder, since most stalls use them
- Not so wide that the crepe sags out over the edge
- Standard tapered cone the everyday format for crepes paper cones
- Wide mouth cone for heavily filled or loaded crepes
- Sealed tip version extra protection against drips
- Holder compatible size matched to your stand or rack
- Printed cone full colour branding for stalls and events
- Bulk plain cone highest volume at the lowest unit cost
Sizes We Print Regular
Every cone is built to your serving, though these run often:
- 9" length for a standard portion
- 11" for a larger or loaded crepe
- 8" for a smaller kids serving
- 10" with a wide mouth for heavy fillings
- 12" for a premium or double portion
- Custom sizes to match an existing holder
Tell us your holder diameter if you use one, since a cone that does not seat properly tips over.
Board And Food Safety
- Food grade certified stock, always, without exception
- Grease resistant coating as standard on crepes paper cones
- White SBS for vivid printed branding
- Kraft board for a natural street food look
- 16pt to 20pt, since the cone needs real rigidity
- Coated inner face where filling makes contact
Kraft with a grease barrier is where most street food operators land. It looks right for the setting and it performs properly.
Branding At Stalls And Events
A printed cone does genuine marketing work here.
- These get photographed constantly, since crepes are a visual food
- Full colour print across the whole cone surface
- A social handle printed where it appears in photos

- Sponsor or venue logos for larger events

Frequently Asked Questions
Will grease come through?
Not with the right treatment. A grease resistant coating handles butter and chocolate, whereas bare board goes translucent within minutes.
Do you seal the tip?
We can, and it is worth it for anything with a runny filling. The tip is where everything collects and where drips start.
Will they fit my cone holder?
Send us the holder diameter and we size to it. A cone that does not seat properly tips over and makes a mess.
How much do crepe paper cones cost?
Rough estimate is $0.04 to $0.12 per unit for a plain coated cone, $0.08 to $0.22 with one colour print and $0.12 to $0.32 for full colour at moderate quantity. Volume moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can they be recyclable?
With a grease resistant coating rather than a poly lining, yes. That keeps them in a normal paper stream.
Is the board food safe?
Always. We only run food grade certified stock for anything holding food directly.
Can we print full colour?
Yes, and we would recommend it. Crepes get photographed constantly, so a branded cone reaches far more people than the customer.
