Education Coffee Sleeves

Universities and schools use Java Jacket custom-printed coffee sleeves to build campus identity, support fundraising drives, and demonstrate sustainability commitments. Since 1991, Java Jacket has shipped over 50 million sleeves - and campuses benefit from the same eco-friendly materials trusted by major cafe chains.*

A campus runs on coffee, and every cup is a chance to put school colors in students' hands. Pantone matching keeps crimson, navy, or forest green exact across dining halls, athletic concessions, and student-run cafes, while compostable Eco II sleeves give sustainability offices a line item that actually supports zero-waste pledges instead of complicating them.

The same sleeves do double duty as fundraising merchandise: alumni weekends, homecoming games, and booster-club concession stands can sell or feature branded cups that cost a fraction of typical spirit merchandise. One order can split across every campus location, quoted with freight, so dining services and the bookstore cafe pull from the same run.
