Frequently Asked Questions About Our Ice Cream Boxes

Quite a few. Corrugated board is a renewable, recyclable material, and because it's disposable there's no washing, sanitizing, or return logistics — saving roughly $1.10 per container in handling versus reusable tubs. It insulates better than thin plastic, it's lightweight to ship and stack, and it can be fully custom-printed with your brand. For most shops it's the most cost-effective option on the shelf.

In most cases your frozen dessert goes straight into the box. Our boxes have a food-safe moisture-barrier coating that handles ice cream, gelato, custards, and sorbets directly.
