A rolling information display apparatus configured to rotate on the rolling surfaces of a roller grill is provided. The apparatus includes a tubular shaped body configured to roll in contact with the rolling surfaces of a roller grill. The apparatus further includes a calibrated cook timer, a temperature monitor, a temperature indicator, and an information medium removably positioned on the tubular shaped body. The calibrated cook timer includes a printed circuit board that is calibrated to rise in temperature in a similar manner to a food item that is cooked on said roller grill. The apparatus is used to display product information, to monitor the temperature of food items in close proximity to the apparatus, and to indicate when the food item is no longer suitable for consumption and sale.

A shrink sleeve having a portion thereof that can be used for extended text or game information, or coupon, or other label information.

A label strip is provided including a first band and a second band, a label which is optionally provided with a protrusion at each end of the length thereof, wherein each of the first and second bands is provided with a cut out, wherein the first and second bands are located parallel to each other with a gap therebetween, wherein when the label is located between the first and second bands it fits into the gap created between the cut outs of the bands; and wherein a layer of adhesive material is provided on one side of the first and second bands extending over the cut outs such that the label when positioned in the cut outs is held in position by the adhesive material.

A product, system, and method for creating a film capable of allowing a user to create a custom graphical representation is described, which may allow a user to create a custom graphical representation in a film by depressing select areas of the film to form the custom graphical representation.

A label having an imprint layer, a non-opaque layer, and a carrier layer is described. The label allows for printed information to be fixed to the outward-facing imprint layer. It is then removed from the carrier layer and applied to a curved surface so as to wrap completely around the object and overlap and adhere to itself over however many revolutions may be required. The trailing edge of this label can be selectively and non-destructively peeled away, and unwound to reveal the entire length of label and the printed content thereon, with its adhesive still being sufficient to allow the label to be rewound.

A fitted coaster for a beverage container. The coaster may include a base and a first sidewall extending substantially perpendicularly from the base, the first sidewall, comprising: a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge opposite the first lateral edge; and a first top edge and a first bottom edge opposite the first top edge. The coaster may also include a second sidewall extending substantially perpendicularly from the base, the second sidewall, comprising: a third lateral edge and a fourth lateral edge opposite the third lateral edge; and a second top edge and a second bottom edge opposite the second top edge, wherein the first lateral edge is attached to the third lateral edge and wherein the second lateral edge is attached to the fourth lateral edge. The coaster may further include a first notch disposed along the first bottom edge.

The present invention relates to a PET bottle which increases recycling rate of PET bottles, wherein the PET bottle comprises a label that assembles the cap 20 without a retainer ring 21 on to the body 10 of the PET bottle, seals from the top of the cap 20 to the upper portion of the body 10 with the one continuous label and safety seal film 50, and has vertical parallel perforated lines 51 on one portion of the sealed label and safety seal film 50. A flap 52 extends from the end of the upper end of the perforated lines 51 to assist with tearing the label. The sealed label and safety seal film 50 covers the upper portion of the body 10 in shape of an inverted funnel, such that when it is torn along the perforated lines 51, the film 50 will be separated naturally from the bottle.
