The Story Behind the Sleeve

The Story Behind the Coffee Sleeve Invention

Long before the coffee sleeve became a staple in coffee culture, Jim Chelossi was developing a practical solution for holding a hot paper cup. His work led to U.S. Patent No. 5,454,484, with an application history tracing back to February 28, 1992. This site explores the history of the coffee sleeve through the patents, documents, designs, and records behind the sleeve.
