Custom artwork on the tub exterior
Paperboard tub with a fitted paper lid
Product Description
BioPack supplies custom cardboard ice cream containers with matching paper lids for take-home and retail freezer sales. Order empty tubs and lids by the number of finished packs you plan to fill.
Nesting paperboard tubs. The tapered walls let empty tubs stack inside one another, saving space at the packing counter and between production runs.
Fitted paper lid. The lid covers the filled tub for freezer storage and the trip home. A sample set lets your team check how easily staff can seat the lid and customers can remove it after freezing.
Custom wraparound artwork. Give a high-volume flavor its own printed tub. For seasonal flavors, use a shared branded tub and change the flavor label to keep fewer printed designs in stock.
Scoop shops can hand-pack ice cream, gelato or sorbet to order. Creameries can fill tubs for retail freezer displays, and contract packers can use client-specific artwork for private-label runs.
Order detail | What to confirm with BioPack |
|---|---|
Tub and lid | Empty, tapered paperboard tub with a fitted paper lid. If you plan to use lids already in stock, send a rim drawing or a physical sample. |
Fill volume | Give the target fill in mL or US fl oz. For machine filling, include maximum tub height and rim diameter. Allow clearance for swirls or inclusions under the lid. |
Board and lining | Share the dessert type, filling temperature and frozen storage conditions. Ask for food-contact documentation for the proposed liner and destination market. |
Print and packing | Specify which surfaces carry artwork and the quantity per design. Request tub and lid counts per sleeve and carton, carton dimensions and gross weight. |
Run a sleeve of empty ice cream containers through your dispenser at normal speed. Watch for two tubs releasing together or a rim catching on the guide. Hand-packing? Pull tubs from the middle of a stack and check that the rims stay round. Fill and freeze several samples, then lift each lid straight from the freezer and check the rim for distortion.
Compare the delivered cost of one complete set. Add the quoted tub, lid, print setup and freight charges, then divide by the number of matched pairs in that shipment. For example, if tubs pack 500 per case and lids pack 1,000, two cases of tubs and one case of lids give you 1,000 sets. Account for any surplus lids separately when comparing repeat orders.
Ask for one price per tub-and-lid set, or for separate line items with the quantity and unit price of each component. Confirm which lid the quotation covers.
Match the rim diameter and profile, then try the lid on a filled, frozen sample. Tubs with the same capacity can have different rims.
List blank and printed quantities separately, with a count for each design. Ask BioPack to confirm the minimum order, print setup costs and lead time for each version.
One US pint is 16 US fl oz, about 473 mL. Ask whether the quoted 500 mL is measured to the rim or to the intended fill line. Check the target fill with the lid in place.
Send your target fill, quantity per design and delivery ZIP or postal code. For split deliveries, include the number of sets each location needs. Request a wholesale ice cream container quote from BioPack.
