The invention relates to a shrink multilayer face film and a label produced thereof. According to an embodiment the multilayer face film comprises a core layer including: propylene random copolymer(s) or propylene terpolymer(s); and polyolefin elastomer(s), polyolefin plastomer(s), or olefin block copolymer(s); and a first skin layer and a second skin layer comprising at least 80 wt. % of cyclic polymer(s). The invention further relates to a method for providing a shrink multilayer face film and a method for labelling of an item.

Label constructions and labeled containers are described which exhibit reduced label defects. The label constructions can be applied relatively soon after manufacture of the container and thereby avoid a requirement of storing containers for pre-designated dwell times. Also described are related methods of eliminating or at least reducing the occurrence of label defects by use of the label constructions and techniques of selecting the label constructions.

A method and apparatus for assisting the cooling or heating of product, such as beverages, in a container can include agitating the contents of the container to create movement and to generate eddy currents in the contents. The method and apparatus can help to reduce the temperature gradients in the contents and to increase the heat transfer rate of the contents while simultaneously cooling or heating the contents and simultaneously transporting the containers. The containers can be cooled or heated using a cooling or heating media, in a cooling or heating tunnel, or in a reservoir. Agitating the contents of the container can be accomplished with a vibration generator, which can be selected from a pulsating fluid, a shaker, a motor rotating an unbalanced mass, a tactile transducer, an acoustic device, and a subwoofer. The vibration generator can be a pulsating fluid that is also a cooling or heating media.
