What does branded packaging do for an ice cream shop?

Every sale is an advertisement

A plain white cup carries the product; a logo cup carries your brand along with it. When customers eat their ice cream while walking, hand it to a friend or put it on a table, the people around them see your logo. This is promotion that repeats with every sale, without an extra advertising budget.

Especially in tourist areas and busy streets, packaging takes your name to people who have never walked past your shop.

Visibility on social media

Ice cream is one of the foods people photograph and share the most. If a shared photo shows a logo cone sleeve or cup, your brand reaches everyone who sees that photo. That is why the logo should sit on the side of the packaging that appears in photos, at a readable size.

On a cone sleeve the logo usually sits in the wide upper part, and on an ice cream cup on the front of the body. Gepako's proof draft places the logo in these visible areas.

Trust and returning customers

Branded packaging shows that the shop invests in itself and takes its work seriously. When customers like the product, the name on the packaging helps them remember and find you again. In takeaway, a branded kraft bag and sticker are a sign of trust that the order came from the right place.

Keep the design simple

The most common mistake in packaging design is trying to fit too much information onto a small surface. Cone sleeves and ice cream cups are seen from a distance and for a short time, so a strong logo, one or two brand colours and, if needed, a short slogan are enough. Phone numbers, addresses and long descriptions can be left to items people look at closely, such as napkins, bags or stickers.

When choosing colours, think of the ice cream itself: brightly coloured ice cream looks more appetising on a simple background. If you do not have a designer, sending your logo is enough; our team prepares the layout and colour harmony during the proof stage.

Where to start?

Start with the item you use most: cone sleeves if you sell in cones, ice cream cups if you sell in cups. Then you can complete your brand language with napkins, paper cups and stickers. By uploading your logo on the See Your Logo page, you can try how the products will look with your brand before printing.
