  • Patent number: 6233856
    Abstract: A container has a label or decoration in the container and unattached to any interior surface. The label or decoration is in the form of a monolayer film or a laminate film with the decoration and other materials under a coating or within the laminate layers. A preferred mode is for the container to be a pump container having a constricted opening. The film will be of an elliptical to a rectangular shape. If rectangular the film will have rounded lower edges or a parabolic lower portion for ease of insertion into container openings. The container preferably will have grooves, projections or other techniques for stabilizing the film in the container. Monolayer films will have the decoration printed onto the surface and will have a protective coating over this surface. Laminate films can be of the same or dissimilar films with the printed surface between the laminate films. The useful adhesives for the films are those that are not affected by the product in the container.
