Provided herewith are methods of preparing a labeled article comprising curing an LED-curable adhesive on a film label such as a shrink film label, wherein at least portions of the LED-curable adhesive are disposed in the overlap formed between a leading edge and trailing edge of the film label. The curing can be conducted at a temperature below 70 C. and is suitable for labeling 500-720 articles per minute in a sequential manner. Also provided herewith are apparatus for labeling articles with film labels, such as shrink film labels comprising an LED station. Further, a method of retrofitting an existing hot-melt labeling system for use in labeling articles with film labels such as shrink film labels is also provided.

The aseptic protective system against germs and dirt for beverage bottles and cans and system for joining beverage cans, consists of applying a protective cover to the end or mouth of the bottles or cans of drinks, whose protective elements are sheets or films, sleeves, caps, lids, stoppers or belts made of biodegradable plastic materials, which protect them from contamination by germs and dirt. attaching or tongue-and-groove joints to groups or rows of cans, the attachments use covers, sheets of tape, bands or a cover of biodegradable material. The groups or rows of cans are constructed in a way that the bottoms of the cans are placed at their ends towards the outside and therefore those carrying the nozzles and opener are protected internally from dirt and contamination. The union is done by tongue and groove, attached or glued, and adding covers or sleeves, tapes or bands of metal sheets.

The present application is directed to container and shrink label systems. The container may comprise multiple label locking features that hold a shrink label in place on a conically-shaped container. The system may further comprise an interactive promotional label system comprising multiple promotional elements that may be linked to complete a promotional event.

The invention relates to a method of protecting a container (1) against impacts, the container presenting a body (2) that is terminated at one end by a bottom and at the other end by a transition portion (4) leading to a neck (3), the method comprising the steps of: putting a bottom cup (5) into place on the container to cover the bottom of the container and project laterally from the body of the container; putting a top cup (6; 60) into place on the container pressing against the transition portion of the container in order to project laterally from the body of the container; covering the assembly with the help of a sleeve (20) of heat-shrink material; and heat-shrinking the sleeve.

An insulated bottle includes an inner container having an inner wall that defines an inner chamber within which a product is received. The insulated bottle includes an outer container having an outer wall that defines an outer chamber. The inner container is received within the outer chamber of the outer container. A space is defined between the inner wall and the outer wall. The insulated bottle includes a label shrink wrapped to an outer surface of the inner wall of the inner container. The label is positioned within the space defined between the inner wall and the outer wall.

A cylindrical shrink label is provided with a heat-shrinkable label base material; and a joint formed by cylindrically forming the label base material so that the edges thereof overlap, and then solvent welding the inner surface of the outside edge, which is positioned on the outside of the cylinder, and the outer surface of the inside edge, which is positioned on the inside of the cylinder. A resin layer, which is soluble in a hot alkaline aqueous solution, is formed on the abovementioned inner surface and/or the abovementioned outer surface, which form the joint.

The invention relates to providing a method for obtaining a multilayer film for thermally inducible shrink labels, products thereof and use of such products. The invention provides a multilayer film for labelling, the multilayer film comprising a first skin layer, a second skin layer and a core layer between the first skin layer and the second skin layer, wherein at least one of the first skin layer and the second skin layer comprises cyclic olefin copolymer and the core layer comprises copolymer of ethylene and butyl acrylate or propylene terpolymer.

A container at least partially surrounded by a shrink sleeve, the shrink sleeve including a shrink sleeve aperture being defined by an aperture peripheral boundary having a peripheral length, where the shrink sleeve and the container are substantially the same color along at least a portion of the peripheral length. Processes for making such containers. Containers where the shrink sleeve and the container are substantially different colors along the peripheral length.

A beverage bottle, a method of manufacturing a beverage bottle and a method of designing an illustration on a beverage bottle, the beverage bottle including a container (12) and a shrink-wrap (14), the container (12) having an annular sidewall (16), a bottom (18) and an opening (20) opposed to the bottom (18), the sidewall (16) extending along a longitudinal central axis (X-X) between the bottom (18) and the opening (20), the sidewall (16) being provided with a first outside constriction (22) and a second outside constriction (24) and with a first embossment (26) located between the first and second outside constrictions (22, 24), the sidewall (16) being covered with the shrink-wrap (14), the shrink-wrap (14) being depicted with an illustration having a first simulate relief (R1), the first simulate relief (R1) and the first embossment (26) being in correspondence.

Cartridge for an aerosol generating device and method for making said cartridge is disclosed. The cartridge has:

a container which comprises a bottom, a lateral wall which rises from the bottom and an opening;

a liquid contained in the container;

a cap which closes the opening of the container; and

a coating which covers at least the lateral wall of the container (2) and which is made of a heat-shrinkable material.
