Cup made of paper or paper-like material

A cup comprising paper or paper-like material having a fillable interior space which is formed by a shell and a base, wherein the base at the lower end of the interior space is fastened in a substantially liquid-tight manner to the shell via a skirt, wherein a lower periphery of the skirt forms a footprint for the cup, wherein the cup further includes an external shell, wherein the external shell is composed of a planar blank of paper or paper-like material, longitudinal edges of said blank at least in portions being connected to one another in an overlap region so that the external shell forms a sleeve, wherein the external shell, at least up to a predefined spacing from a lower end of said external shell, has a frustoconical shape having a first cone angle and, with the exception of the overlap region, at least from the predefined spacing to the lower end is configured in a single ply, wherein the external shell in a lower region thereof, from the predefined spacing to the lower end, tapers at least in portions more heavily than in the region above the predefined spacing, wherein the external shell in the portions that taper more heavily than in the region above the predetermined spacing are connected to an external side of the shell.
