Coffee Cup Sleeves are custom-printed paperboard sleeves that slip over hot drink cups to protect hands and carry your branding, made for coffee shops, roasters, and mobile cart operators. Printed in full-color CMYK on a paperboard sleeve wrap, they turn a standard cup into a branded one without changing your cup supply.
A sleeve is the cheapest way to put your logo on a drink you already serve, so you brand every cup without reprinting cups themselves. The paperboard wrap adds grip and an insulating layer for comfort, and the wide print area gives room for a logo, tagline, or seasonal art. A roaster can swap sleeve designs by season while keeping the same plain cups in stock year-round.
