Abstract
A container configuration having two and three-dimensional characteristics on a single multiple dimensional surface that define a portion of the container. The combination of certain three-dimensional surface areas with two-dimensional graphic indicia overlay wherein indicia impart enhanced dimensional characteristics to actual multi-dimensional surfaces not having the physical characteristics imparted by the surface themselves.
Claims12
A multiple dimensional container configuration comprising;
- a container having a front display surface and oppositely disposed rear surface, integrally interconnecting side surfaces, a top surface, a bottom, and an opening in said container, a plurality of raised interconnected surface areas on said front display surface defining portions of a three dimensional character representation, a flexible overlay sleeve thermally secured to the container surface, said overlay sleeve having indicia thereon corresponding to the raised surface areas and visual three dimensional indicia extending beyond said raised surface areas, a plurality of transitional areas between said raised surface areas and said front display surface, visually distorted indicia on said overlay sleeve for applied registration with said raised and transition surface areas.
A synthetic resin container having a front three dimensional display surface, an oppositely disposed rear surface with interconnecting side surfaces therebetween, a top surface and oppositely disposed bottom, an opening formed in said bottom, a pour spout around said opening, a plurality of interconnected elevated contoured areas on said front display surface, an overlay sleeve thermally secured to said container surfaces, indicia imprinted on said overlay sleeve defining portion of a corresponding three-dimensional image formed within the front display surfaces, portions of said indicia visually distorted registerable with portions of said elevated surface areas and extending therebeyond said elevated surface areas, a cap threadably disposed on said pour spout defining a contoured support surface.
