About cone sleeves
A cone sleeve is die-cut as a curved arc rather than a straight strip, so it closes into a taper that matches the cone instead of gaping at the bottom or bunching at the top.
A cone sleeve is a curved paper sleeve that wraps a waffle or ice cream cone. It's shaped to match the taper of the cone, so it holds in place, catches drips and keeps hands clean while you eat.
It also gives you a printed surface that travels with the product: your logo, flavor name or event design. Ice cream shops, dessert stands and event caterers use them, and they suit other cones such as popcorn and snack cones. Send the cone's height and its top and base diameter and we'll cut the curve to fit.
