A company called Shenzhen Samore Design & Research created this Accordion Paper Cup concept.
The intention is to add functionality to the paper sleeves used on to-go coffee cups. The idea is that if you're carrying multiple cups of coffee (think new guy at the construction site), you don't need that paperboard tray or a bag.
I don't know how realistic or widespread the use case is, but the thinking is interesting.

Saw similar idea at Starbucks in Shanghai at least 10 years ago. Except it was a thin flat piece of paper that could be used as a carrying net. Place your cups on the stack of those on the counter top, lift 2 corners and go.
