Coffee Cup Sleeves are custom-printed paperboard sleeves for cafes, roasters, and event caterers that want a comfortable grip and a branded band on every hot cup. Made from paperboard, they wrap the cup for a better hold while giving your logo prime placement.
A printed sleeve adds insulation for a steadier grip and a clean spot for your brand without changing the cup you already stock. That makes it a low-cost way to look polished on any drink, even with plain cups underneath. Use them for to-go espresso, catered meetings, or seasonal menu promotions.

Sleeve Supply Once Cup Volume Climbs
Sleeves are cut as curved blanks and glued at a single overlap so the band grips a tapered cup without sliding. Embossed corrugation adds the insulating layer, and kraft or bleached board changes how brand colors reproduce. Sizes are usually split between small cups and a larger band for 16 ounce pours.
