What size sleeve and bag for a takeaway coffee cup?
Short answer · takeaway coffee cup (8 oz) for takeaway
Coffee Cup Sleeves, Small (8 oz)
Fits 8 oz cup · 5.5 cm band · Fits 8 oz cup · 2.2" band
To carry it: Oil & Grease Resistant Paper Bags — Small · 15 × 9 × 28 cm
Takeaway coffee needs two decisions: a sleeve that fits the cup, and a bag for anyone carrying more than one. Sleeves are sized by cup volume, because an 8 oz cup and a 16 oz cup taper differently even when their rims look similar. Bags are the harder part — full cups must stay upright and cannot be stacked, so the bag’s base has to hold them side by side, and the sides need to be tall enough to steady them.

What to watch for
- Order sleeves by the exact cup size you stock; a sleeve that is too loose slides off, one too tight will not go on.
- For one or two cups, a small square-bottom bag keeps them upright. Four cups really need a cup carrier tray inside the bag.
- Grease-resistant bags are worth it when coffee goes out with pastries or sandwiches.

Questions
Does one sleeve fit all cup sizes?
No. Sleeves are made for a cup size range — typically 8 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz and 20 oz — because the cup wall tapers at different angles.
What bag carries two coffees?
Two 12 oz cups side by side need a base of about 18 × 9 cm and at least 12 cm of height, which a small or medium square-bottom bag provides.
