It's summertime, so let's take a deep dive into ice cream packaging and food delivery to help you avoid a melted, messy disaster for your customer.
Ice cream mixed with food delivery can result in a delicious frozen treat or a melty, messy disaster for your customer. We want to help you avoid the latter, which ultimately comes down to your packaging choices. By choosing suitable ice cream cups and packaging to ensure they are fit for delivery purposes, you'll be providing your customers with a delectable dessert that looks the same as it did when it left your store, resulting in positive reviews, recommendations, and reorders.
You can find our top tips on packaging ice cream below.
1. Put a lid on it
Using a dome bowl lid is an absolute must for ice cream delivery! The domelike feature is designed to protect and secure contents piled high, whether it be one, two or three scoops of ice cream or gelato - pile away! Detpak's Dome Bowl Lids are 100% recyclable, BPA-free, and made from quality PET for high transparency, making them a superior choice when it comes to ice cream packaging that uses sustainable materials.
2. Pick the right-sized ice cream bowl for your serving
Our ice cream bowls come in six different sizes, which are designed to suit single/double sharing serves of ice cream. By choosing the right-sized ice cream cups from our range of high-quality bowls, you'll ensure your orders are secure and prevent any leakages during delivery.
