Custom Snacks Paper Cones
One cone format handles more of a snack menu than any other container we make. Chips, popcorn, nuts, churros, sweets, samosas, fried chicken bites, all of it works in the same shape. For a trader running several items off one stall, that simplicity is worth real money. We produce a lot of snacks paper cones at ZEE Packaging and the versatility is exactly why operators keep coming back to it.
A snacks paper cone covers far more than most containers.
- Dry snacks, fried items and sweets all work in the same shape
- One stock item instead of five different containers
- Less storage space, which matters on a small stall
- Staff learn one filling motion rather than several
- Buying one format in volume brings your unit cost down
- Portion control stays consistent across the menu
Most traders order one snacks paper cone size and use it for their entire range.
Match The Treatment To The Wettest Item
If you use one format for everything, spec it for the hardest job.
- Dry items like popcorn and sweets need almost no treatment
- Fried food needs a grease resistant coating
- Sugar coated items stick to untreated board
- Sauce or dip means the tip should be sealed
- Hot items release steam, which the open top handles
- Specify for the messiest thing on your menu, not the easiest
- Standard tapered cone the everyday snacks paper cone
- Wide mouth version bulky items and loaded portions
- Sealed tip cone for oily and saucy snacks
- Small sample cone tasting portions at markets
- Holder compatible sizes matched to your rack
- Printed cones full colour branding for stalls and events
Sizes We Print Regular
Every cone is built to your portions, though these run often:
- 5" for a tasting sample
- 7" for a small portion
- 9" for a standard serving
- 11" for a large
- 10" wide mouth for bulky or loaded snacks
- Custom sizes matched to an existing holder
Fill a sample with your heaviest item, since a portion of fried chicken sits very differently to popcorn.
Board And Food Safety
- Food grade certified stock, always, without exception
- Kraft board, which suits street food and markets
- White SBS for vivid printed branding
- 16pt to 20pt, since the cone must stay rigid when full
- Grease resistant treatment where fried food is involved
- Uncoated where you only serve dry snacks
Print earns its cost here. A cone is held at chest height while somebody eats, so branded snacks paper cones get seen by everybody in the queue.
Kinder Material Choices
- Uncoated kraft where your menu allows it
- Recycled board where food grade permits
- FSC certified stock, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Grease resistant coating instead of a poly lining
- Right sized so portions match the cone

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one cone cover our whole menu?
Usually yes, provided you spec the coating for your messiest item. That is how most traders keep their stock simple.
Do dry snacks need coating?
Not really. Popcorn, nuts and sweets sit fine on uncoated kraft, which keeps both cost and recyclability better.
Should the tip be sealed?
For anything oily or saucy, yes. It stops drips reaching a customer's hand, which is what they remember.
Will they fit my holder?
Send us the diameter and we size to it. A loose fit means the cone tips over on a busy counter.
Is the board food safe?
Always. We only run food grade certified stock for anything holding food directly.
How much is a paper snack cone?
Rough estimate is $0.03 to $0.10 per unit plain, $0.05 to $0.16 with one colour print and $0.09 to $0.24 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.
How many sizes should we stock?
Two usually covers it. A small for sides and samples, a standard for main portions.
