Abstract
A beverage cup-sleeve designed for the retail beverage industry is disclosed herein. The cup-sleeve consists of two key components, a sleeve, and an absorbent liner, securely adhered together. Unlike conventional hot beverage sleeves, this innovative design situates the sleeve at the top of the cup, precisely where it meets the rolled-lip, positioning it just beneath the lid's ridge. With the lid in place, the integrated absorbent liner and cup-sleeve combination effectively prevent drips by containing potential leakage resulting from the normal manufacturing imperfections in the paper beverage cup, specifically at the seam and rolled-lip. This containment mechanism proves especially crucial when the beverage is hot. Once the sleeve-liner combination is slipped onto the cup and positioned at the rolled-lip, it ensures the effective containment of potential leakage, thereby preventing drips and minimizing any undesired soiling of the beverage holder's hand and surroundings.
