Abstract
A container identification system includes a fastener mechanism that is configured to extend for a length at least partially around an outer perimeter of a container, and a tag holder that is coupled to the fastener mechanism. The tag holder includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a cavity within the tag holder, such that the cavity has a circumferential length that is less than the length of the fastener mechanism. The cavity is sized to receive indicia therein for identifying the container.
Claims15
A container identification system comprising:
- a fastener mechanism configured to extend for a length at least partially around an outer perimeter of a container;
- and
- a tag holder coupled to said fastener mechanism and comprising an outer surface and an inner surface, said inner surface defining a cavity within said tag holder, said cavity having a circumferential length that is less than the length of said fastener mechanism, said cavity sized to receive indicia therein for identifying the container.
A method of identifying a container, said method comprising:
- coupling a container identification system including a tag holder and a fastening mechanism to a container, such that the fastener mechanism extends for a length at least partially around an outer perimeter of the container, and wherein the tag holder has a circumferential length that is shorter than the length of the fastening mechanism;
- and
- coupling an identification tag to the tag holder that facilitates identifying the container.
