Abstract
The present application is directed to dual rotating shrink label systems for a container with non-parallel. A base label may be shrunk to non-rotatably conform to the non-parallel sides of the container. A rotating top label may be shrunk to conform over the base label. The rotating top label may have one or more transparent windows displaying printed information on the base label.

A rotating shrink label system for a container having non-parallel surfaces, comprising:
- a base label adhered to the non-parallel surfaces of the container, the base label comprising a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source and having a surface with printed information thereon;
- a rotating top label covering at least a portion of the base label, the top label comprising a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source;
- and
- one or more transparent windows within the top label, the transparent window allowing at least a portion of the printed information to be visible through the transparent window.
A rotating shrink label system for a container having non-parallel surfaces, comprising:
- a base label adhered to the non-parallel surfaces of the container, the base label comprising:
- a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source;
- a surface with printed information thereon;
- a first section positioned about an upper portion of the container;
- a second section positioned about a lower portion of the container and coupled to the first section by a perforation;
- a rotating top label covering at least a portion of the base label, the top label comprising a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source;
- and
- one or more transparent windows within the top label, the transparent window allowing at least a portion of the printed information to be visible through the transparent window.
A rotating shrink label system for a container having non-parallel surfaces, comprising:
- a base label adhered to the non-parallel surfaces of the container, the base label comprising a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source and having a surface with printed information thereon;
- a rotating top label covering at least a portion of the base label, the top label comprising:
- a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source;
- a first section positioned about an upper portion of the container;
- a second section positioned about a lower portion of the container and coupled to the first section by a perforation;
- and
- one or more transparent windows within the top label, the transparent window allowing at least a portion of the printed information to be visible through the transparent window;
- wherein decoupling the top label first section from the second section allows the second section to rotate about the container.
A method for delivering information associated with a container, the container having non-parallel surfaces, comprising:
- providing a base label comprising a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source;
- displaying printed information on a surface of the base label;
- positioning the base label about the non-parallel surfaces of the container;
- exposing the base label to a heat source such that the base label shrinks and non-rotatably conforms to the non-parallel surfaces of the container;
- providing a top label comprising a material that shrinks when exposed to an energy source;
- placing one or more transparent windows within a portion of the top label, the transparent window displaying at least a portion of the printed information;
- positioning the top label about the base label and the non-parallel sides of the container;
- and
- exposing the top label to an energy source such that the top label shrinks and rotatably conforms to the non-parallel surfaces of the container.
