The present invention relates to a method of packaging character ice cream using a horizontal disposable plastic film mold as an inner packaging material. Ice cream packaging material uses a horizontal disposable plastic film mold as the inner packaging material, in which a horizontal disposable character mold for maintaining a shape of bar-type character ice cream is made by forming a plastic film in a character shape or other stereoscopic shapes. Ice cream liquid is injected into the horizontal disposable plastic film mold and then frozen, and the ice cream is packaged together with a rear reinforcement material without separating the ice cream from the horizontal disposable plastic film mold, thereby preventing a surface of the ice cream from being oxidized or preventing the character shape from being damaged.

A system for manufacturing and packaging one or more frozen confection products said system comprising one or more production machines, wherein the one or more production machines comprises chemical applying unit configured to apply one or more anti-moisture chemicals on a hollow wafer. The processing unit is configured to insert the hollow wafer inside the first half of an equally divided mould. The second half of the equally divided two part mould is coupled with the first half to form a closed mould. One or more funnels configured to inject at least two portions of one or more frozen confection material into the closed mould, wherein one portion of the at least two portions of the one or more frozen confection material are injected in the hollow wafer. The closed mould injected with the at least two portions of the one or more frozen confection material to form the one or more frozen confection product. The packaging section is configured to extract the one or more frozen confection products from the closed mould, wherein the one or more frozen confection products comprise at least two portions of the one or more frozen confection material filled inside the hollow wafer. A method for preparing a frozen confection product is also disclosed.

The disclosed invention is an insulating device to protect frozen confections and is supported by a receptacle, for example an ice cream cone. The device includes a dome portion, a clamp, and a clamp attachment. The dome portion comprises a concave portion that faces the frozen confection held in the receptacle, to which the insulating device is clamped. The clamp attachment attaches the clamp to the dome portion and comprises a ball-and-socket rotatable joint. The clamp holds the cone by attaching near the rim of the cone, and comprises sturdy, adjustable material such as metal. Embodiments contemplate varying the dome portion size, malleability of the clamp, or both from device to device, to accommodate various cone sizes and various volumes of frozen confection.

A packaging method and packaging material are disclosed. In accordance with one aspect, a method for forming, filling, sealing and flash freezing a liquid extract or concentrate in a continuous ribbon format is described. The packaging material uses a continuous ribbon of a cold-formed foil base with multiple pockets arrayed in a pattern and a heat-sealed foil cover. Following sealing, the continuously formed strip of product is passed through a freezing medium, optionally perforated alongside the pockets to facilitate separation of individual pockets from a sheet, and then cut to size for convenient and space efficient final packaging, storage and transportation.
