Cup sleeve sizes
A coffee cup sleeve has to match its cup: the rim, the base and the height set the curve of the band. Here are the common paper cup sizes with a sleeve that fits each, so you can start from yours.

One maker's cups, not a standard: other brands differ by a few millimetres, and some 12 oz cups have a smaller 80 mm rim. Use your own cup's sizes if you have them.
How to measure
- Top Ø — across the rim, outside edge to outside edge.
- Bottom Ø — across the base the cup stands on.
- Height — straight up from the table to the top of the rim.
- Sleeve height and position — where you want the band to sit. Leave room under the rim for lips and the lid, and a little above the base.
One sleeve for several cups?
Cups with the same rim — 12, 16 and 20 oz here — are close enough that many cafés use one sleeve for all of them: the sleeve slides down until it grips. A dieline made for one cup fits that cup best. Print it at 1:1, wrap it round a real cup and check before you order.
