I'm looking for ice cream manufacturers to make private labeled molded
ice cream pucks. They are approx. 2.5 to 3 oz. of vanilla or chocolate
ice cream. We would provide the re-usable rubber molds for them. We
would need lots of 10,000 units at a time. The closest standard
product would be an "Ice Cream Dixie Cup" shape and size. They should
be molded and slip sheeted.

Colin:

The info so far is outstanding. I could use a little more help. I
would be interested in the overseas contacts such as Israel. The exact
type of firm I am looking for is closest to "The House of Flavors" in
size and capabilities in that all they do is private label. Dean Foods
seems too big. Do you know of any others so I have a few more options.

Thanks so much!
