Claims20
An insulative container comprising
- a container body having a floor, a brim spaced apart from the floor, and a side wall extending between and interconnecting the floor and the brim and extending circumferentially around a central axis of the container body, the side wall being formed to include a plurality of projections spaced apart from one another around a periphery of the side wall, and
- a container sleeve extending annularly around the side wall and coupled to each of the projections included in the plurality of projections along an outer surface of the side wall.
A method of forming a container, the method comprising:
- forming a container body from a first polymeric formulation, the container body having a floor, a brim spaced apart from the floor, and a side wall extending between and interconnecting the floor and the brim and extending circumferentially around a central axis of the container body, the side wall being formed to include a plurality of projections spaced apart from one another around a periphery of the side wall,
- forming a container sleeve from a second polymeric formulation different then the first polymeric formulation, and
- heat-shrinking the container sleeve onto an outer surface of the container body so that the container sleeve is attached to each projection included in the plurality of projections.
