We’re crazy about custom frozen yogurt spoons at the IFYA. And so we asked IFYA’s custom spoon and cups expert, Kalvin Kwong, Sales Manager at CarryOutSupplies.com to give us the rundown on custom froyo spoons.

Custom printed yogurt cups help strengthen a yogurt shop’s brand identity. A beautiful custom yogurt cup is something tangible that your customers can admire. The impact of these custom cups is further enhanced when they are seen outside of your shop and on social media sites like Instagram, Pinterest and Yelp.
The same branding benefits are true for custom designed yogurt spoons. Because spoons are durable can be reused, custom spoons are often saved and reused by frozen yogurt spoon collectors and the eco-conscious.
As a shop owner, have you considered adding custom designed yogurt spoons? If so, read on and learn what’s involved.
Custom Designed Spoons FAQs
What’s the minimum size order?
The minimum order is usually 200 cases with 1000 pieces per case (or 200,000 spoons).
How much are custom spoons?
The cost varies by the weight of the spoons, the amount of customization, and the order quantity. If the design is just on the handle and doesn’t require a custom shape, it’s less expensive than a more elaborate design, such as the Menchie’s character spoons.
There is also a mold that we have to create for that design which the client pays for, or we can incorporate it into the spoon price.
For simple designs (e.g., text added to the handle), the cost of the first order will be about 10-15% higher because of the mold fee we charge, but any other orders after should be close to the same cost as our generic 6.5g PP spoons.
Can you help with spoon design?
Yes, we have an in house designer who can design spoons.
What type of spoons can be customized?
It is the premium spoon that gets customized, either a 5.5g or 6.5g spoon. The premium spoon is the most popular yogurt spoon that stores use. It is shorter, and rounder than your average spoon.
The spoons are available in a variety of colors as seen on our website, with other colors available for an additional fee. We can also get spoons in different finishes like matte, glossy and clear.
Typical turnaround time?
Approximately 8-10 weeks.
