The Problem: Keeping Hands Comfortable When The Coffee or Tea is Very Hot

Consumers on-the-go like drinking coffee from paper cups. It allows them to enjoy the natural taste, especially with premium and gourmet coffees and teas. But when a coffee or tea in a paper cup gets too hot to handle, coffee and tea vendors often have to provide a second cup or a paperboard sleeve to keep excessive heat from consumers’ hands. A coffee sleeve or coffee clutch is much more economical than double cupping. Using a natural paper product as opposed to Styrofoam sleeves, there are four ways to go with coffee sleeves, namely paperboard that is embossed or smooth, and single faced corrugation of paper making the coffee sleeve with either the corrugation on the inside or the outside. MrTakeOutBags.com offers three of the four options because using the smooth paperboard sleeves is of little value for doing what is desired, and that is to keep the coffee cup from burning your hands when the coffee or tea is really hot.

A Side Benefit of Using Coffee Sleeves or Clutches?

Coffee Sleeves can provide consumers with a side benefit to keeping their hands from getting uncomfortable, namely the fact that a coffee sleeve acts as a insulator also to keep the temperature of the coffee or tea in the cup from dropping as fast as it would without it. This happens because the coffee sleeves have a built-in series of air pockets formed by the corrugated or embossed construction, which slows the heat loss considerably.

Paper Coffee Cups or Styrofoam Coffee Cups, which is better?

I'm not an expert by any means but I offer up a few facts about paper coffee cups versus the foam ones to help you consider what you might want to use. It's important to state that we do not sell Styrofoam or any other foam-packaging product. We have tried to focus on paper based packaging alternatives in light of the green initiatives around the country, and the public perception that most Styrofoam type products are bad for the environment.

Let's start with a few facts like paper is made from a renewable natural and recyclable resource, and Styrofoam is made from a petroleum byproduct which is not renewable and goes through many chemical changes to be made. Although Styrofoam can be remolded in rarely is, while paper coffee cups can be recycled into other paper products. Paper coffee cups can also be composted and fully degrade into the soil and become worm food, unlike foam products which pretty much last forever. There are some pretty scientific and sophisticated arguments easily found on the internet or a library that it costs less in terms of energy and transportation costs to make and ship foam versus poly which I could believe, and this is probably more easily seen because paper coffee cups are incrementally more expense to purchase than foam coffee cups. The general public perception is clearly on the side of choosing paper coffee cups as being more ecologically friendly or green. There are questions about how the process of making Styrofoam produces CFC’s, which are feared to be causing ozone depletion leading to a loss of the natural filtering of the sun's ultraviolet rays that may be causing some of the global warming concerns.

One of the factors in considering paper cups is whether or not you are currently using two cups to prevent from having to juggle an unduly hot cup beverage. In those cases it's advisable to start using the ecologically friendly natural kraft coffee sleeves we offer that have either a fluted corrugated paper on the inside or outside, or the coffee sleeve with a heavier paperboard in natural kraft that has an embossed finish. A paper coffee cup with a paper coffee sleeve is perceived to be a better green option certainly than using two paper coffee cups at a time.

Another important factor in considering the paper coffee cup being more earth friendly or green as many now refer to it is how the cup will be disposed. If a cup is shredded and composted you obviously have the fastest natural breakdown. If the cup is sent to the landfills as most are, it depends how moist the conditions are for the paper coffee cup to degrade into the soil, and if or not it's inside a trash liner that is going to breakdown as well. Biodegradability of paper coffee cups has as much to do with time and moisture. Styrofoam will not degrade in any event so there isn't much point in comparing that element of it.
This argument can go even deeper about paper coffee cups and the relative advantages but suffice it to say when the largest chains in the coffee industry use paper coffee cups and paper coffee sleeves or coffee clutches we think they know what the public wants and expects.
