What Are Paper Mache Cones? 

Paper mache cones are created by coating with adhesive & layering paper over a mold, the final result being a solid structure. Various materials, such as craft paper and recycled sheets, can be used for making these cones. Drying the layers makes them hard but still light in weight. The cones of paper mache maintain their form remarkably and are convenient to work with. 

Depending on our requirements, we can produce food cones in various sizes and shapes. Paper cones are extensively utilized because of their low price, multi-functionality, and fast manufacturing.

Professional Printing Is Available For Paper Cones

The printing process can turn the paper cone's plain and dull look into a beautiful one. We offer a cutting-edge printing process to create aesthetically appealing custom-printed paper cones. The technical options that we offer include:

  1. Screen printing technique
  2. Offset printing technique
  3. Digital printing technique
  4. CMYK and PMS printing techniques
  • Screen Printing Technique

A mesh screen is utilized in screen printing to apply ink on the paper cone in a direct manner. The result is bright, bold, and clear designs. The method is ideal for colorful and simple patterns.

  • Offset Printing Technique

Ink is transferred from a plate to a rubber sheet, and then to the paper cone in the offset printing process. Sharp, detailed, and high-quality prints are obtained at this stage. It is most suitable for large-scale production and consistent results.

  • Digital Printing

Digital printing is a process in which designs are printed directly from a computer onto the cone surface. Detailed, full-color designs can be created at a quick rate. It is a flexible method that is ideal for small or custom orders.

  • CMYK and PMS Printing 

CMYK printing is a technique that combines four colors to produce a wide range of shades. On the other hand, PMS printing employs pre-mixed colors to attain brand colors that are exact and consistent. We apply both for exact and professional results.

Explore Our Vibrant Finishing Options 

Finishing options not only provide a visual upgrade but also increase the life of raw paper cones. Various methods are applied to create cones having aesthetic appeal, strength, and versatility for packaging or ornamental use.  Our affordable finishing touches include;

  • Glossy Finish

The paper cones are made to look bright and shiny with their glossy finish. The application of a smooth coating not only colors up the cone but also makes it very attractive and impossible to ignore when placed amongst other products in a retail shop.

  • Matte Finish

Matte finish gives the paper cones a soft and smooth texture. The shininess is reduced, but the colors are still bright, giving the packaging a contemporary and classy look.

  • UV Coating

Just as the glossy coating, UV coating shields the paper cones by giving the surface an additional coat of protection. The surface gets a luster, power, and resistance to scratches, water, and wear, thus prolonging not only the product's life but also its aesthetic appeal.

  • Varnishing

Varnishing is a process that offers a thin but complete protective layer on the paper cones. The colors are more vivid, and the strength of the cones is also increased. While at the same time, the surface of the cone offers a smooth and attractive surface for packaging purposes.

  • Laminating

Laminating is a process that puts a paper cone into a thin plastic layer. The overall life of the product, water resistance, and attractiveness of the cone are all increased, along with making it easier to handle and prolonging its life.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
