An ice cream box is a food-safe carton built with a moisture-resistant coating or lining, designed to hold its shape and strength at freezer temperatures where condensation would quickly weaken standard card. This applies to both retail tubs and gift-style ice cream packaging.
Why Standard Card Does Not Work in a Freezer
Condensation forms constantly on packaging stored at freezer temperatures, and untreated card absorbs this moisture, softening and losing structural strength over time. A proper moisture-resistant coating keeps an ice cream box strong and presentable throughout its time in a freezer, whether that is a shop freezer or a customer's own.
Styles We Make
We build round and rectangular ice cream tubs and boxes in a range of sizes, along with smaller single-serve packaging for individual scoops or tubs sold at point of sale.
Materials
Moisture-resistant, food-contact-safe board is standard, often with a coating specifically rated for sustained freezer storage rather than just short-term chill.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom ice cream boxes are available from around 100 to 250 units, suiting independent ice cream makers and dessert brands.
Average Ice Cream Box Prices
As a general guide, ice cream boxes typically cost between £0.20 and £0.70 per unit, depending on size, moisture-resistant coating, material and finish.
Sustainability
Recyclable moisture-resistant board options are available, though some coatings affect recyclability; we will confirm the most recyclable option that still performs in freezer conditions.
Getting Started
Tell us your typical tub size and freezer storage time, and we will suggest a suitable moisture-resistant specification. We build a proof before production and UK-wide delivery.
