Paper Cup Sleeve

What is a cup sleeve?

A sleeve is a paperboard band slipped around the body of a hot drink cup, also known as a cup holder or coffee clutch. The extra layer between cup and hand keeps the heat of the drink away from your fingers and makes the cup comfortable to hold.

Construction: corrugated inside, printed outside

The inside of Damla Cup sleeves is corrugated kraft board; the flutes form small air channels that insulate between cup and hand. The outside is smooth and suitable for multi-colour custom printing. The designs in the photos are examples of printed sleeves we have produced for different businesses.

Your brand on every cup

A sleeve is a practical way to brand plain cups without printing the cups themselves: the cups stay standard, while your logo and campaign artwork travel on the sleeve. For seasonal menus and campaigns, simply refresh the sleeve design.

Which cups are they used with?

Sleeves are used with single wall hot drink cups, for example our 8 oz and 12 oz paper cups. We size the sleeve to your cup. If you prefer no accessories at all, our insulated double wall coffee cups need no sleeve.
