An individual beverage bottle, with added convenience features making the bottle easy to open, and provides features to customize, personalize, and/or share in a very hygienic manner and providing a mechanism to secure a cup to the bottle such that an otherwise ordinary cup adapts and screws onto existing beverage containers that can be used to share the beverage or just be able to drink from a cup rather than directly from the bottle wherein, existing bottles can be utilized with very little, if any, extra footprint and minimal retooling. A proprietary labeling system is adapted to the bottle and cup.

The present invention relates to a novel customizable bottle or container. The outer surface of the bottle or container has a plurality of ridges, recesses or other delineations positioned around the outer surface. Each adjacent pair of ridges, recesses or other delineations creates a distinct region. A plurality of flexible or removable bands is provided with the bottle or container that are slid on distinct regions positioned between the ridges, recesses or other delineations. The flexible bands come in various colors and designs and decorate the distinct areas to personalize the bottle or container.

Described herein is a container with a removable sidewall configured to generally extend the height of a bottom portion of the container, wherein the removable sidewall is removed as the contents of the container are used. Accordingly, a user of the device is provided easier access to the bottom of the container. The container includes an upper portion and a lower portion secured in a removable coupling and including a lid. The lid is configured for securing to both a top of the upper portion and an upper portion of the lower portion.

A container assembly includes a container, a closure and a one-piece tamper-evident label. The container has a neck portion defining an opening and a body portion. The body portion includes at least one sidewall and a bottom opposite of the neck portion. The closure fits to the neck portion of the container for closing the opening. The closure includes a top wall portion and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The one-piece tamper-evident label is permanently attached to the container and the closure. The label includes at least one line of weakness extending across thereof. The label covers a majority of the at least one sidewall and substantially extends around the circumferences of the container and the closure. The label is configured to be separated into at least a first label portion and a second label portion via the at least one line of weakness.

Provided is a synthetic resin container that includes a container main body molded into a predetermined container shape and a covering layer laminated on an outer peripheral surface side of the container main body. A label is mounted on a container body portion. The container main body is provided with a step portion formed by raising or denting a peripheral surface that extends continuously or discontinuously along a predetermined direction and the covering layer is provided with, continuously or discontinuously along the step portion, a linear thin portion that is linearly thinner than a surrounding area. At least part of the label is adhered to a portion of the covering layer adjacent to the linear thin portion.

An invention to protect the surface of dining table food containers that are commonly used among patrons of eating establishments, dining halls and cafeterias from the collecting and retransmitting of non-sanitized hand-borne or air-borne germs and pathogens introduced through contact with commonly used dining table food containers. The invention involves the new use of specially formed paper as an external container for various dining table food containers. The specially formed paper is configured in a tubular shape to encase dining table food containers of various dimension and thereby protect the enclosed surface of a properly sanitized dining table food container from germ accumulation. The specially formed paper tube is further treated with commercially available chemical agents, applied to its outer surface, in order to inhibit the collection, accumulation and retransmission of non-sanitized hand-borne or air-borne germs introduced through repeated non-sanitized hand or atmospheric contact.

This disclosure describes container(s) having an ultraviolet (UV)-cured matrix and methods to create the same. For example, a glass container according to this disclosure has a bottom and a body extending in a direction away from the bottom along a longitudinal axis. The body has a surface having an UV-cured matrix including UV-curable varnish drops arranged in a plurality of layers and having voids existing therebetween to form a porous matrix structure. One method to form the glass container is to apply a layer of UV-curable varnish to an outer surface of the glass container as a plurality of varnish drops, so as to establish a plurality of voids between the varnish drops, cure the layer of UV-curable varnish, apply one or more additional layers of UV-curable varnish, and cure the additional layer(s) of UV-curable varnish, wherein all of the varnish drops and the voids form the UV-cured matrix.

A labeling device includes a container transporter that conveys the containers along a conveyor path and a first conveyor that runs between the return-stations. The labeling stations are arranged along the conveyor path between the return-stations. The frame's frame ends lie at opposite ends of a longitudinal axis. Attachment-sections associated with the frame ends attach to respective return stations, with at least one of them permitting attachment of a return-station at multiple positions along the axis. These attach to the mounts, which have continuous mounting-elements extending between the return-stations along the longitudinal axis. The mounts enable mounting a labeling station in any position between the return-stations using an attachment element that is complementary to the mounts and with which the labeling stations are equipped.

A cluster pack with at least two containers, each of which each container carries a label. One or more glued joints interconnect the containers. At least one of the glued joints is applied in a cut-out section of a label.

The present invention provides a disposable, physical barrier for a container, such as a condiment container, in public settings in order to prevent transfer of microorganisms from one user to another user of the container. The barrier is manufactured from sheet material which can be configured on a roll, a dispenser, or contained in a receptacle for easy, one-time use, thus ensuring that a user of a condiment container does not touch the same surface touched by a previous user.
