It takes the form of a ring-shaped band sized to fit around a disposable cup, with an integrated loop handle on one side, allowing the user to grip and carry the cup without direct hand contact with the hot cup surface. As a reusable, durable alternative to disposable cardboard cup sleeves, which are typically used once and discarded, it can help reduce single-use waste generated from hot beverage service.\n\nThe holder is 3D printed using ABS plastic filament, with a total production time of approximately 95 minutes.\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n! colspan=\"2\" |More Product Information\n|-\n| Author Code\n| GN024\n|-\n| Documentation License\n| CC-BY-4.0\n|-\n| Open Hardware License\n| CERN\n|-\n| Start Date (Development)\n| October 15, 2019\n|-\n| End Date (Development)\n| October 15, 2019\n|-\n| Designer\n| Reuf K.\n|-\n| Maker\n| Reuf K.\n|-\n| Main Materials\n| ABS Plastic\n|}\n\n== Readiness Levels ==\n\n''Levels are identified based on this reference:'' [[Field Ready Readiness Levels]]\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n!

A maker manual provides step-by-step instructions for replicating the design, including materials, tools, and assembly guidance, so that makers in different locations can build the product accurately and consistently. A user manual, where applicable, explains how to properly set up, use, and maintain the product once it is built, helping ensure it performs safely and as intended for the end user. Together, these manuals make the design accessible to both fabricators and the people who ultimately rely on the product.\n}}{{Page data\n| part-of = Global Field Ready Portfolio\n| keywords = Reusable Cup Sleeves\n| sdg = SDG12 Responsible consumption and production\n| authors = Charles Vincent Barrete\n| organizations = Field Ready\n| license = CC-BY-SA-4.0\n}}"}
