Custom Paper Cone Holders
A cone is brilliant to eat from and useless to put down. That is the whole problem a holder solves. Somebody wants to hold a drink, check their phone or sit at a table, and without somewhere to rest the cone they simply cannot. We produce a lot of paper cone holders at ZEE Packaging and this small item removes a real friction point for street food operators.
A Cone Cannot Stand Alone
A paper cone holder makes the format practical.
- Gives the customer somewhere to put the cone down
- Stops cones tipping and emptying on a counter
- Lets a customer carry a cone and a drink together
- Makes table seating possible for a cone based menu
- Presents better in photographs, which matters at events
- Turns a walking format into a sitting one
Most operators add a paper cone holder because customers kept asking where to put things down.
The Fit Has To Be Right
This is the detail that decides whether it works.
- The opening must match your cone diameter closely
- Too loose and the cone tilts and spills
- Too tight and staff struggle to insert it at speed
- Depth matters, since a shallow hole gives no stability
- A wide base, because a narrow one tips with a full cone
- Send us the actual cone and we size the holder around it
- Single cone holder the standard paper cone holder for one serving
- Double holder a cone and a side, or two servings
- Four cone tray for sharing and group orders
- Holder with a sauce well cone plus a dip in one piece
- Combo holder a cone and a drink cup together
- Table rack multi cone stand for a counter or a stall
Sizes We Print Regular
Every holder is built to your cone, though these run often:
- 3" x 3" x 2" for a single small cone
- 4" x 4" x 2.5" for a standard cone
- 7" x 4" x 2.5" for a double holder
- 8" x 8" x 3" for a four cone tray
- 5" x 4" x 2.5" with a sauce well
- 9" x 5" x 3" for a cone and drink combo
Send us a real cone. Stated diameters vary between suppliers and the fit is everything here.
Board And Food Safety
- Food grade certified stock where food contact is possible
- Corrugated E flute for rigidity, since the holder must not flex
- Kraft board for a street food position
- White SBS for vivid printed branding
- 20pt to 24pt on flat board versions, which need real stiffness
- Grease resistant treatment where oil may drip from the cone
A flimsy paper cone holder is worse than none at all. It needs enough caliper to stay flat when a full cone sits in it.
Kinder Material Choices
- Recycled corrugated across most grades we run
- FSC certified board, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Board replacing plastic and moulded holders
- No lamination, so it recycles alongside the cone
- Right sized so the holder matches your cone exactly

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get the fit right?
Send us the cone you actually use. Diameters vary between suppliers and a hole that is even slightly loose lets the cone tilt.
Do they arrive assembled?
Flat, and they fold up in a second. Storage is minimal, which matters on a small stall or a food truck.
How much is a paper cone holder?
Rough estimate is $0.05 to $0.16 per unit for a single holder, $0.10 to $0.28 for a double or sauce well version and $0.20 to $0.55 for a four cone tray at moderate quantity. Volume moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Will it hold a full cone steady?
With a wide enough base, yes. A narrow base is what tips over, so we spec the footprint against the loaded weight.
Can you add a sauce well?
We do, and it is popular. It saves handing over a separate pot and gives the customer somewhere to rest the dip.
Do they need food grade board?
Where the cone or food touches it, yes. We would specify food grade as standard rather than risk it.
Can you print them?
Yes, and they sit on a table in front of somebody for the whole meal, so the branding gets real exposure.
