Plastic ice cream cups are most widely known for their use with gelato, ice cream sundaes, and banana splits. They’re so good for these treats because the clear plastic allows your customers to see all the toppings. It’s a visual treat as much as a tasty one!

Paper ice cream cups are known for traditional ice cream and more to-go options. Paper ice cream cups are slightly thicker than plastic ice cream cups, so they’re better suited for take-out and to-go ice cream. Alongside that, there are more lid options for paper cups. Paper ice cream cups have more patterns and sizes as well.

The type of ice cream cup that best fits your ice cream cup depends on the service you provide and the type of customers you serve. If you serve exquisite sundaes and you really want your ice cream to be the star, then plastic ice cream cups may be your best bet. However, if most of your customers don’t dine, paper ice cream cups may be your best choice as they are better suited for take-out and take-out customers. If variety is your main concern, paper ice cream cups have more color, pattern and size options. You can even choose custom paper cups for your ice cream shop.
