What is a coffee cup sleeve?

A coffee cup sleeve is a protective covering designed to wrap around a hot beverage cup, providing insulation and preventing discomfort from heat. Made from corrugated paper or cardboard, these sleeves create a barrier between the hand and the hot surface, enhancing convenience for customers. They are often customizable and used as an effective branding tool for businesses.

Why do they have bumps on them?

The bumps or ridges on coffee cup sleeves improve insulation by trapping air and minimizing heat transfer to the hand. Additionally, the textured surface ensures a secure grip, reducing the chance of accidental spills.

Custom coffee cup sleeves serve a purpose beyond just protecting your customers’ hands from heat—they can also be a powerful tool for boosting your brand’s visibility. Transform sleeves into a branding opportunity by adding your logo, slogans, and graphics. Enhance brand recognition and foster customer loyalty by introducing personalized coffee sleeves at your café, business, or special events.

Not all coffee cup sleeves are made equal. Hotshot provides an array of customization options that will make your cups stand out from the crowd. We offer both PREMIUM and STANDARD sleeves based on the number of colors printed and whether full background printing is required. You can also select a paper type to suit your preferred level of insulation and sleeve finish.
