Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are your food-grade cones safe for direct contact with hot food?
Yes, absolutely. Our food-service cones, such as our chip cones, are made from certified food-grade paper. We also offer options with a food-safe, grease-resistant coating to ensure they hold up well against hot and oily foods like chips, churros, or fried snacks, without becoming soggy or leaking.
2. Can I order cones in a custom size?
Yes. While we offer a wide variety of standard sizes that fit most needs, we understand that some products or projects require specific dimensions. We can create a custom die-line to produce cones in the exact size you require. Please contact our team with your specifications for a quote.
3. What is the minimum order for custom-printed cones?
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) varies depending on the type of cone and the complexity of the customisation. Generally, custom printing requires a higher volume to be cost-effective. However, we strive to offer flexible solutions for businesses of all sizes. Contact us to discuss your project, and we can provide a detailed quote based on your needs.
4. Are the paper cones delivered flat or pre-assembled?
This depends on the type of cone. Most of our food and confetti cones are shipped flat to save on storage space and shipping costs; they are designed for quick and easy assembly. More rigid types, such as paper mache cones, are shipped in their formed, three-dimensional state.
5. How eco-friendly are your paper cones?
We are committed to sustainability. The majority of our paper cones are made from paper sourced from responsibly managed forests. They are typically recyclable and biodegradable. For the most environmentally friendly option, we recommend our uncoated Kraft paper cones. We avoid plastic linings where possible to ensure easier recycling.
