Choosing the Right Packaging for Frozen Desserts

by Venkat Erpina July 28, 2025

When it comes to serving and storing ice cream, choosing the right packaging makes all the difference. Whether you’re selling scoops at a local shop, or prepping for an event, the packaging you use needs to be durable, leak-resistant, and freezer-safe. That’s where our paper ice cream containers come in.

What Is Double PE Lining and Why Does It Matter?
PE stands for polyethylene, a type of plastic coating commonly used in food-safe paper packaging. A double pe lining means the cup has a polyethylene coating on both the inside and outside surfaces of the container.

Here’s how this benefits you:

Leak Resistant: The inside pe layer creates a strong moisture barrier, preventing melted ice cream from soaking into the paper or leaking out
Structural Strength: The outer PE lining protects the exterior of the cup from becoming soggy due to condensation, helping maintain the integrity of the container even when held in warm hands
Freezer Performance: Double pe lined containers are designed to withstand low temperatures without becoming brittle or cracking. This makes them ideal for short-term to medium-term freezer storage

Can You Store These Containers in the Freezer?
Yes! Our disposable paper ice cream containers are freezer-safe thanks to the double pe lining. Here's what makes them suitable for cold storage:

They retain their shape even when stored at subzero temperatures
They prevent freezer burn better than single-lined alternatives, especially when paired with paper lids
They’re great for batch prepping flavors, keeping stock on hand for busy service days, or packaging pints for take-home orders

Why It’s the Best Option for Ice Cream Shops and Events
Disposable double pe lined containers aren’t just functional, they’re also convenient and cost-effective. They come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small single serve 8oz cups to larger 32oz containers perfect for take-home pints.

Whether you’re running a small gelato business, a national frozen yogurt franchise, or an ice cream pop-up; choosing the right packaging can protect your product and keep your customers happy.
