A beverage-retaining insert is used to retain and orient a smaller beverage container, including but not limited to a soda can or beer bottle, within a larger beverage container, including but not limited to a tumbler, thermos, or travel mug. The larger beverage container is herein referred to as the tumbler. The apparatus is also configured to prevent damage and unwanted shifting or movement of the bottle or can relative to the tumbler. The apparatus includes a retaining lip, a tubular brace, a tubular cushion, and a sealing mechanism. The retaining lip positions the apparatus atop a tumbler. The tubular brace enables arrangement of the apparatus within a tumbler. The tubular cushion provides support for a beverage container. The sealing mechanism retains the position of the present invention against the inside of a tumbler. Thus, the apparatus efficiently and effectively retrofits a tumbler to enable support of a beverage container.

Beverage systems and kits and methods of using the same. A beverage system of the present disclosure includes a container configured to retain a beverage, the container having an outer wall and an internal threaded section above a non-threaded inner wall section; a threaded gasket having a threaded portion and an outer curved profile, the threaded portion configured to engage the internal threaded section of the container when coupled thereto; and a lid having an extension portion extending from a cover portion, the extension portion having a seal positioned thereon, the seal configured to engage the non-threaded inner wall section of the container when coupled thereto.

The invention relates to a sleeve with a window for use with an item. The sleeve includes a substantially planar body, a first surface and a second surface, first part and second part, and a window formed in the first part. A print area is defined on the first surface of the second part, where a graphic can be added and the window substantially overlays the graphic in the assembled article. The invention also relates to a protective sleeve with a substantially planar body, an inner surface and an outer surface, a first junction area of substantially planar body and a second junction area of the substantially planar body. The first and second junction areas enable co-operating attachment therebetween, such that the substantially planar body is maintained as a sleeve. The invention also relates to a method of construction of a sleeve.
