Custom Coffee Sleeves

We offer a variety of sleeves sizes to choose from depending on your needs (some sizes incur a surcharge due to needing to change over equipment). Below are our most common sizes, however we do have the ability to custom make sleeves for almost all cups. We do have custom dies for smoothie and and cold cups as well.

• 12oz – 20oz – (Minimum 1250 order) Sleeves fit standard 12oz, 16oz and 20oz cups. This is the most common sleeve size used. Please note each size of cup (12, 16 and 20oz) has a different tapered edge and so the sleeve will not fit all cup sizes the same
• 10oz – 12oz – (Minimum 3750 order) Most commonly ordered when using 10oz cups (Sucharge applies)
• 8oz – (Minimum 3750 order) For use with only with 8oz cups. We offer two slightly different 8oz sleeves to best fit your cup (Sucharge applies)

PLEASE NOTE : Our cup sleeves are meant to be used with single wall hot cups and will not fit double walled cups. In addition, our sleeves will fit industry standard size cups, however not all manufactured cups are the same and so the fit can vary. 

Our CLASSIC sleeves’ paper is a thick 23pt CCNB (Clay coated newsback). The paper is made from 100% recycled fiber and the printing side is a white semi-gloss surface while the back side is made from recycled newsprint. The semi-gloss print surface provides for extremely high print quality!

We apply either a semi-gloss or matte coating to the sleeves depending on your preference. If you like vibrant colors choose gloss and for a softer duller look select matte.

KRAFT SLEEVES

We do not print on actual Kraft paper. For Kraft sleeves we print a simulated Kraft background on the white paper and apply a matte coating. The benefit of printing this way is that light colors will not look dull and muddy as they would if you printed directly on Kraft paper.

A checkerboard embossed texture is standard on our CLASSIC sleeves.
Our coffee sleeves come standard with a checker board pattern embossed into the paper. This embossing provides better grip of the sleeve as well as assisting in reducing transfer of the heat from the cup through the sleeve.

For orders of 2500 or more coffee sleeves you may choose to have a smooth surface with no embossed pattern. This has become a very popular choice for many people.

We provide digital PDF proofs for all sleeve orders prior to going to print. When considering your turnaround time please allow time for us to review your artwork and to provide proofs for approval.
