A beverage holder with an insulating sleeve holds a beverage container and a light mount with a light. The light mount comprises an exterior housing located outside the insulating sleeve and on a lateral wall of the insulating sleeve. A light is carried by the exterior housing and located outside of the insulating sleeve. An interior backing is located on an interior of the insulating sleeve and fastened to the exterior housing through the insulating sleeve. The exterior housing and the interior backing sandwich a portion of the lateral wall of the insulating sleeve.

Methods and apparatus for manufacturing vacuum forming a produce container using a fiber-based slurry. The slurry includes a moisture barrier comprising alkyl ketene dimer in the range of about 4% by weight, and a cationic liquid starch component in the range of 1%-7% by weight.

A household tissue paper container includes a container body that is configured to store household tissue paper therein and has a take-out portion having an outlet through which the household tissue paper is taken out; and an open/close lid that is pivotably attached to the container body and closes the outlet. The outlet is formed at a swelling portion having a substantially spherical raised shape in the take-out portion. The outlet has a protruding piece that is protruding from a front edge of the outlet toward a rear where the open/close lid is attached to the container body.

A vessel, e.g., a bowl, suited for holding water or foodstuff for use as a pet bowl or human kitchen houseware. The vessel is scaled for use by pets or humans. Generally, this means that an inner surface of the vessel defines a volumetric space of 60 cubic centimeters to 30 liters for holding water or foodstuff. The bowl has a water level, and, at the water level, the surface area of the bowl being 56 cm to 900 square cm. To facilitate lifting and gripping by one or two human hands of a user, the vessel's outer surface includes one or more graspable elements disposed between the top and bottom of the vessel. Each graspable element is configured to receive one or more fingers of a user so that the user can grasp or otherwise engage the graspable element and lift the bowl from a surface when the bowl is upright on the surface.

Overvarnished aluminum cans which are not usable because of label graphic errors or other reasons are conditioned for reuse by first treating the existing overvarnish to accept an opaque new layer of overvarnish. The opening of the can is engaged with a plug having a pin communicating with a pressurized gas supporting the can on a wheel to supply gas pressure according to the rotational position of the pin. The overvarnished can is pressurized to allow printing an opaque new layer of overvarnish on to the can over the existing overvarnish. The treated can is visually inspected and the internal coating resprayed, and the opaque overvarnish and the internal coating are cured in a final curing oven, the can being then ready for printing of new graphics or sold as a brite, silver or blank can where other graphics can be applied.

A handheld can, such as an aerosol can, having a high friction surface thereon to improve a user’s grip on the can. The high friction surface is grippy or tacky, but not sticky, and does not attract dirt, dust, and other debris thereto. The high friction surface retains its coefficient of friction under wet conditions and over extended use. The coating can be on at least the top 25% of the length of the can, in relation to the applicator nozzle. An example of a suitable material to form the high friction coating is a water-based polyurethane, optionally with a filler.
