The clinic guide to custom round ice packs

Why the round format works for facial care
A rectangular pack sits flat. A round pack contours. When a patient is holding an ice pack against their cheek, nose, or eye area, a round format naturally follows the curves of the face in a way a rectangular pack doesn't. That's why the 4" round has become Gelpax's best-selling size for medspas, dental offices, and plastic surgery practices — not because it's the only option, but because it fits facial anatomy better than the alternatives for targeted post-procedure spots.
It's also the right size. At 4 inches across, it's large enough to cover a full cheek or orbital area, but small enough that a patient can hold it in place comfortably without bracing it with both hands. For clinics that hand out packs to patients going home after Botox, fillers, extractions, or rhinoplasty, the 4" round is consistently the pack that gets used — and kept.

See pricingIf you specifically want round: the 4" is the only true round format in the Gelpax line. There's no 3" or 5" round — this is the size.
If you want something close but square or rectangular: the 3x3 is the most similar footprint for targeted spots, and the 5x5 steps up to broader coverage for post-laser or full-face use.
How custom logo printing works
You send us your logo file (vector preferred, high-res PNG is fine). We send back a free virtual proof showing your logo printed on the 4" round in the pack color you chose. Once you approve, we go into production — 10 business days from proof approval to shipping.
Full-color printing is standard at no extra charge. The round format actually displays logos particularly well because the circular shape creates a natural frame around your branding. Most clinics find the finished pack looks cleaner than they expected.
- Free virtual proof before production
- Full-color logo printing included
- Multiple pack colors available
- Made in the USA since 2004
What custom round ice packs cost
Per-pack pricing for the 4" round depends on quantity and print colors. The product page shows live tiered pricing and the minimum order. Most clinics ordering for patient take-home use find the per-unit cost is comparable to a high-quality branded business card or less — with far more daily visibility.

What clinics say
Real feedback from practices ordering custom round ice packs from Gelpax.
"The round shape is what sold us. It sits perfectly on a patient's cheek after filler without them having to hold it at an awkward angle. Our clients appreciate the thought."
— Medspa Owner, Tennessee
"We tried rectangular packs from another supplier first. The 4" round from Gelpax is what we send home now — patients actually use it instead of putting it in a drawer."
— Dental Office Manager, Michigan
"Logo looks sharp on the round format. The circular frame gives our branding a lot of presence even on a small pack."
— Plastic Surgery Practice Coordinator, Nevada
Quick FAQ
For the full FAQ, see our custom round collection page.
Why do clinics choose a round ice pack over a rectangular one?+
The round format contours more naturally against the face — particularly the cheek, orbital area, and nose. For targeted facial treatment spots, patients find it easier to hold in place than a flat rectangular pack. It also displays logos particularly well due to the circular frame.
What's the only round size Gelpax makes?+
The 4" round is the only true circular format in the Gelpax line. For something slightly smaller, the 3x3 square is the closest alternative. For broader coverage, the 5x5 or 5x7 rectangular formats are the next step up.
Can I print my clinic's logo on the round packs?+
Yes. We print your full-color logo directly onto the 4" round and offer multiple pack colors. We'll send a free virtual proof before production so you can approve the look first.
How long does production take?+
Production lead time is 10 business days from the point your virtual proof is approved.
Can I get a sample before ordering in bulk?+
Yes. The sample pack is free — you just pay $1 for shipping. It comes with a generic Gelpax logo so you can hold the 4" round and feel how it sits against a face or recovery area before committing.
Are Gelpax products FDA-registered?+
Yes, our gel pack products are FDA-registered. We've been manufacturing in the USA since 2004, working with thousands of medical and aesthetic practices across the country.
