Benefits of Custom Coffee Sleeves

Beyond Just Heat Protection
Not all cup sleeves are made equal. Of course, they offer the primary benefit of better grip and protection from hot coffee or tea, therefore reducing the need to double cup, but they offer so much more! It’s much cheaper to get your branding out there on sleeves than other media! Instead of settling for plain bulk coffee sleeves, why not utilize the blank canvas that a coffee sleeve provides?

Choose from an economical 1 or 2-color print on Kraft paper or fully customizable full-color coffee sleeves in as many colors as you want.

Coffee to go doesn’t have to be bland. While a white cup and kraft sleeve get the job done, why not elevate the experience for your café’s customers? Printed cup sleeves open opportunities to enhance customer satisfaction and increase engagement.

Personalized Cup Sleeves: FAQs and Answers

Cup sleeves have names globally. They can be referred to as coffee sleeves, cup sleeves, coffee clutch, coffee cozy, cup jacket, or paper zarf. These terms generally describe sleeves made of paperboard or corrugated paper used for both coffee and tea.

The coffee cup holders made by Hotshot are crafted from paper making them both recyclable and biodegradable. We encourage you to recycle your cup jackets whenever you can so that they can be repurposed into paper goods down the line! Unfortunately, we can’t make the claim our sleeves are compostable. Certification involves testing procedures that not all paper manufacturers choose to go through.

Sleeves are often associated with hot drinks. They can also be useful in warmer weather to preserve the coolness of your cold beverage. As you grasp a drink in your hand, heat is transferred to it, causing it to warm up. A paper cup holder acts as a barrier, preventing your body heat from reaching the drink surface and allowing you to enjoy its coolness longer.

There are various print processes used to make sleeves for coffee cups, but we use offset printing presses, which allow for very high-quality printing; sleeves are printed multiple-up on very large paper sheets. Once printed, the paper is fed through a machine that creates the embossed texture, which helps with protection from the hot cup. Once embossed, the coffee sleeves are die-cut into the shape of a flat sleeve and then folded and glued using a folder gluer machine to produce the finished product.
