About cup sleeves
A corrugated or fluted layer adds the insulation, so this style is sized and printed differently from a flat sleeve - it needs to grip a curved surface without slipping.
A cup sleeve is a wraparound band that fits around a hot or cold drink cup. It gives the hand a firmer grip and a layer between the hand and the cup, and the printed surface carries your brand with every drink served.
Cafes, juice bars, caterers and events use cup sleeves to turn a plain cup into a branded one. The sleeve is cut as a curved shape that matches the taper of the cup, so give us the cup size or its top, base and height measurements. Tell us if the drinks will be very hot and we'll recommend the board.

How to measure for cup sleeves
- Size to the cup's mid-height circumference, not the rim, since that's where the sleeve grips.

Cup sleeves are sized by the cup's top and base diameter and its height. Send us your cup size (for example 12 oz or 16 oz) and we'll set the dimensions.
Do cup sleeves protect hands from heat?
Yes. The sleeve adds a layer between the hot cup and the hand. Tell us the drink temperature and we'll recommend a suitable board.

Yes, from 100 units. That suits a single cafe, a promotion or a pop-up. Larger orders get a lower unit price.
