Working as a packaging company we work with so many different customer’s, but we never thought an energy company would need Ice Cream Tubs! Did you? We were shocked at first but at the end of the day we are here to help anyone looking for branded packaging, so if you are looking for some, then give us a call.
How long did these tubs take to make?
These tubs had a very small
turn around time, once we have artwork the tubs were delivered within 2 weeks
and were made in time for their deadline. This was an order for 1,000 tubs
which is our minimum order for branded tubs.
Was the customer satisfied with the tubs?
Yes, they were delighted and
they left us a review on Facebook expressing
their happines. It said “Great service and fast delivery! Will definitely order
from them again!” Our aim is to match our customers initial ideas to the best
we can. This was one of many occasions where we achieved this goal.
Do I need my own artwork to create branded tubs?
No absolutely not, we have an
amazing in-house design team that can create artwork for you! Simply explain
what you want them to look like and let us do our magic.
Interested in creating your own?

team about branded packaging. Call us on 01753 655344 or email us on [email protected].
We have been working alongside the Royal Trust Collection to create a unique PLA ice cream tub to be given out in their wonderful ice cream trucks. This has been an ongoing project, and we are so pleased with the outcome and wanted to share it with all of you.
What are the tubs made of?
The ice cream tubsare made of PLA material, making them fully recyclable and compostable. PLA stands for polylactic acid and it is a vegetable-based plastic material consisting of renewable materials. However, even though they are PLA they are not shiny, they have a lovely matt finish to them.
Where will I find these tubs?
These tubs are going to be used to serve ice cream from the trucks placed around Windsor Castle and St James’s Palace. There is a 3ozand a5oz ice tub, so you can either have 1 scoop or if you are feeling hungry get 2 or 3 with lots of toppings of course. Our favourite is a strawberry swirl with oreo pieces and white chocolate sauce on top, hmmm!
Who do I contact to create my own tubs?
You can either give us a call or send us an email. We love to create tubs like these or add custom food packaging stickers, the end product makes it all worthwhile. Our tubs are manufactured from heavyweight paperboard and are coated with PE on the interior (but can also be coated on the exterior). PE coating is proven to be an ideal barrier against frost, liquid and condensation. All printed ice cream tubs are produced to your specific requirements. But like the Royal Collection Trust, we can make them in PLA if requested.
So, if you are interested in making your own tubs just like this then give us a call and kick-start your summer with colour-branded ice cream tubs that people will remember!
Frozen Custard is a cold dessert. It’s very similar to ice cream but is made with eggs in addition to cream and sugar. It is usually stored at a warmer temperature than ice cream, and tends to have a denser consistency.
Ice Cream VS Frozen Yoghurt
Soft serve ice creams often have an overrun as large as 100 percent. This means half of the final product produced is composed of air.
When made in a continuous freezer, Frozen Custard can have an overrun of 15 –30 percent, depending on the machine used. Frozen Custard has a similar overrun percentage to Gelato.

Crumble
Crumbles rose to popularity in Britain during World War II. At this time, the crumble topping was created using an economical alternative to pies due to shortages of pastry ingredients as the result of rationing. To further reduce the use of rationed flour, fat and sugar, breadcrumbs or oatmeal could be added to the crumble mix.
Eton Mess
Eton mess is a traditional English dessert consisting of strawberries, meringue, and whipped cream. It is believed Eton Mess originated from Eton College. The dessert is served at their annual cricket match against the pupils of Harrow School.
Trifle
The word “trifle” comes from French term ‘trufle’, this means something along the lines of ‘whimsical’ or ‘of little consequence’. A proper English trifle is made with real egg custard poured over sponge cake soaked in fruit and sherry and topped with whipped cream.

Our biodegradable ice cream tubs launched in 2018 and vendors have been serving sustainable ice cream ever since. Here’s everything you need to know to make sustainability cool.
How Sustainable Are These Ice Cream Cups?
Rest easy knowing these ice cream tubs tick all waste boxes:
– Biodegradable — Most ice cream tubs are lined with a thin layer of plastic to stop the card from crinkling when the contents of your tub melt. This practice instantly makes a product non-biodegradable. Our version of compostable ice cream tub gives customers the same level of protection, yet with a plant-based barrier. We use Ingeo™ PLA to line the surface, so your experience is supportive and sustainable. Ingeo™ PLA is a form of bioplastic used in many of our products where flexibility and transparency matter.
– Recyclable — Removing all forms of plastic from a product makes these ice cream tubs easily recyclable. Although this is a single-use product — unless you’re keen on immediate second servings — its materials can be recycled, so the remains of your sweet treat don’t end up stuck in a landfill.
– Compostable — That’s right, our biodegradable ice cream tubs are so natural they’ll be accepted in a composting facility. This isn’t to be confused with your household compost bin (where veggies and fruit peels lie) — you’ll have to commercially compost these leftovers so that the tailored treatment can break down the PLA coating.
We’re proud of these A+ waste credentials and you should be too. We make it easy for your customers to get the latest sustainable scoop by printing a disclaimer on these products that reads, “This tub is fully biodegradable, compostable and recyclable.”
What Serving Sizes Will Fit?
These conscientious cups are available in 3oz, 4oz, 5oz and 8oz sizes.
These four sizes cater to most appetites, so as a vendor you’re covered. For context, most major ice cream brands serve scoops somewhere between 4 and 6 ounces asGood Housekeeping put to the test.
Plus, you won’t want to serve anything much larger than this when you check out the average nutritional value of a Baskin-Robbins 4oz scoop (seriously, it equates to 25% of your daily fat allowance in an average 2,000 calorie diet). Perhaps that 8oz cup will work best as a sweet to share!
Are These Containers Just for Ice Cream?
Although ice cream is the most common use, you can easily repurpose these ice cream containers for other sweet treats with a bit of imagination. Here are some dishes we suggest:
– Frozen Yoghurts — Froyo is trending right now because of its likeness to ice cream and the fact it’s way healthier than a classic 99. Those who are lactose intolerant can also enjoy frozen yoghurt if it uses plant-based alternatives. When frozen, yoghurt has a similar consistency to ice cream and is a lighter, smoother snack for when you’re verging on the edge of a food coma.
– Nuts — Chopped walnuts, pecans and almonds are perfect as ice cream or yoghurt topping, but they’re also a hit when served solo. Those with less of a sweet tooth may prefer nuts and berries as a grazing portion that promises a natural (and manageable) sugar high.
– Confectionary — If you’re looking to sell snacks that don’t require fancy equipment, filling these tubs with confectionary items is a quick way to make a buck. You’ll have the backing of big-name chocolate and sweet brands and you’ll be oozing with pick n’ mix nostalgia.
– Desserts — If you’re dishing out desserts, you can make plating up simple for those on the go with our ice cream tubs. Add brownies, cookie dough or cake to ice cream for a truly decadent experience.
Delivery FAQs about our Biodegradable Ice Cream Tubs
– What quantity are the ice cream tubs sold in? We sell all sizes of biodegradable ice cream tubs in boxes of 1,000. We sell in quantities substantial enough for a demanding business yet small enough to cater for standalone events. Hungry for more? You can always contact us for larger orders.
– How fast will my tubs arrive? Great news. Your tubs will arrive before your ice cream melts! These productsare all available with next day delivery when selected at checkout. Last-minute party planning? Surges in demand at the start of Spring? We understand. That’s why we’ll never make you wait more than twenty-four hours to get restocked.
– Why is my order delayed? Your order might take longer than usual if you’ve requested our branding service. This is because we’ll be creating and shipping bespoke products that aren’t readily available in our warehouse. Trust us — these unique products are worth the wait.
It’s hard to believe that a product brought to Europe in the early 1300s is still so popular today! On average, every person in the UK will eat around 9 litres of ice cream every year.
With summer nearing, we are very excited to share with you our range of unbranded ice cream tubs – available to purchase now.
