But when people kept asking for pint-sized portions for their freezer at home, the firm complied by launching a Web-based business. As Director Heather Draper puts it, “They pick any six flavors and those six pints are delivered right to their door.” Dry ice and an EPS foam box are used to keep the ice cream frozen during transit.

The paper-based containers and lids are supplied by Stanpac,  and for now the filling is done mostly by hand. The pressure-sensitive labels (usually applied by hand), are from WS Packaging Group. Printed digitally in four colors, the label stock is a white BOPP with a freezer-grade adhesive.
