Abstract
A rotatable label system includes a drinking vessel having indicia disposed on an exterior surface of the drinking vessel and a rotatable label formed from a heat-shrinkable shell or sheet arranged about the drinking vessel. The rotatable label has indicia disposed thereon and may include at least one transparent window through which co-located indicia disposed on the surface of the drinking vessel may be viewed. The rotatable label is rotatable relative to the drinking vessel about a vertical axis thereof to enable viewing of a selected subset of the indicia disposed on the drinking vessel. Surface features and contours of the drinking vessel maintain the rotatable label longitudinally upon the drinking vessel.
