Abstract
A method for preparing an insulating packaging material for a container is disclosed. A first layer of insulating material can be placed around a container, a second layer of heat-shrinkable material can be placed around the first layer and heat can be applied to heat-shrink the layer and conform the label to the contours of the container. The insulating packaging material can retain its hot and cold insulative properties after being heat-shrunk. The insulating packaging material can be used as a label.
Claims15
A method for preparing an insulated packaging material for a container comprising applying a first layer to the outside of a container engaging a sidewall portion of the container to cover the surface or a portion of the surface;
- applying a second layer to or around the first layer to engage the inner surface of the second layer to the outer surface of the first layer;
- and shrinking the second layer that is applied to or around the first layer;
- wherein the shrinking causes the first layer and the second layer to conform to the contours of the container.
