a distance (D 2 ) of the second area of adhesive from the overlapping edge is between 0.5 mm and 5 mm and at least as large as a width (W) of the overlapping area,

wherein the overlapping area is free of adhesive between the two overlapping ends of the blank, and

the first area of adhesive is separated from the second area of adhesive in the circumferential direction by an area that is free of adhesive.

2. Cup according to claim 1 , wherein the width (W) of the overlapping area is between greater than 0 mm and not greater than 4 mm.

5. Cup according to claim 4 , wherein the first area of adhesive is provided at a distance (D 1 ) from the corresponding edge of the blank.

6. Cup according to claim 5 , wherein the distance (D 1 ) of the first area of adhesive from the overlapped edge is at least as large as the width (W) of the overlapping area.

7. Cup according to claim 6 , wherein the corrugated layer has wavepeaks spaced apart from the substrate layer the wavepeaks extending in straight lines or in a wavelike pattern or in a zigzag pattern.

8. Cup according to claim 7 , wherein the distance (d) between adjacent wavepeaks is constant.

9. Cup according to claims 7 or 8 , wherein the width (W) of the overlapping area is less than three times the average distance (d) between adjacent wavepeaks.

10. Cup according to claim 1 , wherein the first area of adhesive or the second area of adhesive comprises at least one strip of adhesive.

11. Cup according to claim 10 wherein the strip is arranged parallel to the corresponding edge ( 11 , 13 ) of the blank ( 10 ).

12. Cup according to claim 1 , wherein the first area of adhesive and/or the second area of adhesive comprises at least one spot of adhesive.

13. Cup according to claim 12 , wherein several spots of adhesive are arranged on a line parallel to the corresponding edge of the blank.

14. Cup according to claim 1 , wherein at least one additional area of adhesive is provided between the first and the second areas of adhesive.

15. Cup according to claim 14 , wherein a hot melt glue is provided on the first area of adhesive and/or on the second area of adhesive.

16. Cup according to claim 1 , wherein cold glue is provided on at least one additional area of adhesive.

17. Cup according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is made from plastic or cardboard material.

18. Cup according to claim 1 , wherein the internal wall of the cup is provided with de-nesting means.

19. Cup according to claim 18 , wherein the de-nesting means are shaped as at least one projection projecting into the interior of the cup.

20. Cup according to claim 19 , wherein the projection comprises a circumferential projection and/or at least one sectional projection.

21. Cup according to claim 1 wherein the first adhesive area is spaced apart from the second adhesive area.

22. Cup according to claim 1 wherein the area that is free of adhesive includes at least part of the overlapping area.

23. A cup comprising:

an internal wall; and

an external sleeve wrapped around the internal wall in a circumferential direction and comprising a blank with a corrugated layer and a substrate layer, wherein the blank comprises:

a first edge at a first end of the blank; and

a second edge at a second end of the blank opposite the first end of the blank in the circumferential direction,

wherein the second end of the blank extends over the first end of the blank to define an overlapping area that extends from a bottom of the blank to a top of the blank in a longitudinal direction;

a first area of adhesive attaching the first end of the blank to the internal wall; and

a second area of adhesive attaching the second end of the blank to the internal wall,

the second area of adhesive is separated in the circumferential direction from the first area of adhesive by an area that is free of adhesive, and

the area that is free of adhesive includes at least part of the overlapping area.

24. The cup of claim 23 wherein the first area of adhesive is more than 0 mm and less than 4 mm from the first edge of the blank, and

the second area of adhesive is at between 0.5 mm and 5 mm from the second end of the blank.
