How custom printeD cup sleeves caN BE OF BENEFIT

Custom cup sleeves provide a unique way to differentiate your hot cup beverages from the competition while offering several practical benefits. Not only do cup sleeves protect hands from hot cup temperatures but they are a great marketing vehicle. Printed coffee sleeves can be customized with logos, colors, and other designs to elevate your brand and help it stand out in the market. Lastly, cup sleeves are cost effective and can be printed in bulk to fit any size order or budget.

Sizes of customized sleeves

Sleeve SizesWe have a wide range of sizes available to suit your needs. (some sizes will incur a surcharge because we need to change our equipment). Here are some of the most commonly used sizes. However, we have the ability to make sleeves for nearly all cups. We can also make custom cups for cold and smoothie drinks.

  • 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 cups sleeves are designed to fit single wall hot cups but they may fit some double wall cups as well as plastic cold cups. Additionally, the sleeves will fit industry-standard size cups, however not all cups are made the same so the fit might vary.  We recommend requesting a sample pack so you can try out the sleeve.

Our two types of paper

Sleeve Sizes

We now offer two types of paper for custom cup sleeves…thick 23pt Duplex paper (Classic Sleeves)  and corrugated paper (Corrugated Sleeves).

Our Classic Sleeves paper(crafted from 100% recycled fiber) offers excellent print quality with a semi-gloss finish on the printing side and recycled newsprint backside. Depending upon your preference, you can choose either a glossy or matte coating to be applied to the sleeves for maximum color vibrancy or subtlety respectively.

Our corrugated coffee sleeve paper has a smooth white paper for the print side and this has a matte coating applied. The backside is made of fluted corrugated materia which offers the best insulation from the heat.

KRAFT SLEEVES

Do you want some kraft paper sleeves? Instead of actually printing on Kraft paper, we print a simulated Kraft background on white paper and apply a matte coating. This way, light colors will stay vibrant and attractive without looking dull or murky like they would when printed directly onto Kraft!

 

Texture for coffee sleeves

embossed vs non-embossed textureOur Classic Sleeves are available with a embossed texture. This helps in providing grip to help reduce heat transfer. You can choose a smooth version with no embossed patterns if you order 2500 or more coffee sleeves. This is a popular option among many!
