A cup-enveloping sleeve of elongated configuration for creating a thermal barrier around the circumference of a beverage cup or container. The sleeve comprises a flexible body with opposed top and bottom edges, with arcuately spaced apart arrays of radially projecting ribs being formed on the body and extending continuously between the top and bottom edges. At least one additional array of reticulated radially inwardly extending projections are provided, and positioned between mutually adjacent pairs of rib arrays, with these projections being segmented to define circumferentially extending land areas between mutually adjacent segments of projections so as to permit the sleeve to engage a variety of conventional cup sizes, and also to provide space for advertising or instructive indicia. Engageable couplings are provided to convert the elongated sleeve to a frusto-conical configuration.
