A method for forming a device that is releasably attachable to a ferromagnetic surface comprises providing an object formed from one or more flexible or compressible materials, positioning a magnet between the object and a heat-activated adhesive patch, and applying heat and pressure to the patch to fuse the patch to the object around the magnet.

A condiment bottle cover assembly for inhibiting bacteria transmission between a user and a condiment bottle includes a sleeve that is positionable around a condiment bottle to inhibit a user from touching the condiment bottle. The sleeve is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit the transmission of bacteria between the user and the condiment bottle. An elastomeric band is coupled to the sleeve to bias the sleeve against the condiment bottle. In this way the sleeve is retained around the condiment bottle.

Embodiments, apparatuses, and systems associated with providing a two color etchable label for a drinking vessel. In some cases, the label may be formed from two or more layers, each layer having a different color. In some cases, the length of the label may have a first portion and a second portion. The thickness of the label may comprise substantially equal portions of the first layer and the second layer at the first portion and the thickness of the label may be predominately formed from one of the layers at the second portion.

A drinking vessel holder assembly comprising: a base comprising a receiving portion for receiving a lower part of a vessel, the base being provided with one or more connecting portions located along the base; one or more frame members wherein each of said frame members comprises respective locking portions adapted for connection with one or more connecting portions of the base; wherein during use, in an assembled configuration, locking portions of the frame members are adapted to be coupled with respective connecting portions of the base such that the frame members extend upwardly relative to the base to form a vessel holder frame that defines an internal volume to receive the vessel therein.

A packaging sleeve for a bottle includes: a circular bottom wall; a cylindrical lower section attached to the circular bottom wall and an upper section attached to the lower section. The upper section defines fold lines for facilitating the bunching of the upper section closely around the neck of a bottle.

A container for selective display is an apparatus enabling users to store perishable items under controlled conditions. The apparatus includes a display container and an obstruction mechanism. The display container includes an open container end, a closed container end, a lateral wall, a window, and a sealing lid. The display container is designed to store the items under ideal conditions and facilitates the monitoring and control of the conditions inside the display container. The obstruction mechanism maintains the interior of the display container sealed from exterior light. The open container end enables access to the contents inside the display container. The closed container end and the lateral wall form an enclosed storage space to hold the contents. The window enables the users to inspect the contents without opening the display container. The sealing lid hermetically seals the display container to maintain the ideal conditions for the contents to be preserved.

A paper or other fibrous container is capable of maintaining a consistent gas level after sealing, as well as having sufficient stiffness to carry liquids and other heavy materials as well as light weigh materials such as medication and supplements. Preferred embodiments include a fibrous outer sleeve having an inwardly directed curled edge, a first metal sleeve positioned inward of the fibrous outer sleeve, and a bottom piece having a top metal layer. The bottom piece is preferably disposed intermediate the inwardly directed curled edge and the first metal sleeve. A first adhesive is preferably disposed intermediate the bottom piece and the first metal sleeve, and a second adhesive is preferably disposed intermediate the bottom piece and the inwardly directed curled edge.

A container (100) includes a body (110) having an upper end (104) and a lower end (106). The upper end has an opening formed therethrough. The body defines a plurality of ribs (110) between the upper end and the lower end that are configured to actuate between an expanded state and a compressed state to vary a volume inside the body. A sleeve (500) is positioned at least partially around the body. The sleeve inhibits one or more of the plurality of ribs that are in the compressed state from actuating into the expanded state.

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.

A wine bottle is provided with a punt at a lower end which includes a cork retainer therein. A cork can thus be stored within the cork retainer. In one embodiment, the cork retainer includes two retainer surfaces which are opposing each other horizontally, and spaced apart by a length similar to opposing portions of the cork to allow the cork to fit tightly between these retainer surfaces. Space above the retainer surfaces can hold a foil wrap with the cork within the cork retainer and holding the foil wrap in place. Full re-use of the bottle is thus facilitated. In one embodiment, the bottle has an octagonal shape so that multiple bottles can be shipped together and placed adjacent each other with flat surfaces distributing loads therebetween, without forces concentrated at points thereof, and to keep the bottles in good shape for washing, refilling and re-use.
