Custom Ice Cream Cone Holder
A cone cannot be put down. That single fact causes more friction at an ice cream counter than anything else, because customers want to pay, take a photo or carry two at once and physically cannot. A holder solves it for a couple of cents. We produce a lot of ice cream cone holder work at ZEE Packaging and it removes a real problem for parlors and vans.
A Cone Has Nowhere To Rest
An ice cream cone holder gives the customer a free hand.
- Cones cannot be set down without tipping over
- Customers struggle to pay while holding one
- Carrying two cones at once becomes possible
- It lets somebody sit at a table with an ice cream
- Photographs look considerably better with a holder
- Melting drips get caught rather than reaching a hand
Most parlors adding an ice cream cone holder do so after watching customers juggle cones at the till.
The Fit Around The Cone
This detail decides whether it actually works.
- The opening must match your cone diameter closely
- Too loose and the cone tilts and drips
- Too tight and staff struggle to insert it quickly
- Hole depth affects how stable the cone sits
- A wide base stops the whole thing tipping over
- Send us an actual cone and we size the holder to it
- Single cone holder the standard ice cream cone holder
- Double holder two cones in one piece
- Four cone tray for families and group orders
- With a napkin slot holder and napkin together
- Combo holder a cone and a drink cup
- Counter rack multi cone stand for a parlor
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 napkin slot
- 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 contact is possible
- Corrugated E flute for rigidity under a loaded cone
- Kraft board for a natural parlor position
- White SBS for vivid printed branding
- 20pt to 24pt on flat board versions
- Grease and moisture resistant treatment for drips
A flimsy holder is worse than none at all. It needs enough caliper to stay flat when a full cone sits in it.
Materials Worth Choosing
- Recycled board across most grades we run
- FSC certified stock, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Board replacing plastic and molded holders
- No lamination, so it recycles alongside the cone sleeve
- Right sizing so the holder matches your cone exactly

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get the fit right?
Send us the cone you actually buy. Diameters vary between suppliers and a slightly loose hole lets it tilt.
How much is an ice cream cone holder?
Rough estimate is $0.05 to $0.16 per unit for a single holder, $0.10 to $0.28 for a double 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.
Do they arrive assembled?
Flat, and they fold in a second. Storage stays minimal, which matters in a small parlor or a van.
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 load.
Can we add a napkin slot?
Yes, and it is popular. It saves handing over a separate napkin and catches drips at the same time.
Does it need food grade board?
Where the cone or ice cream touches it, yes. We would specify food grade as standard here.
Can they be printed?
Yes, and they sit in front of somebody while eating, so the branding gets real exposure.
