Abstract: The present invention concerns a new use for shrinkable plastic film, particularly shrink sleeve label film, which can be directly anchored to a frame (which may or may not already have a canvas) to form a novel shrink film canvas. The inner and/or outer surface of said film can be printed and/or painted on, preferably heat shrunk to conform to the edges of said frame, and can be further treated by methods and means known to the art, to serve as a painting on a shrink film canvas. If only the inner part of the canvas is printed or painted on, the outer surface of the shrink film can serve as a protective layer, while also providing a glossy sheen normally achieved through the application of a varnish medium.

Abstract: The present invention is a sleeve device for beverage containers. It can be transparent or decorative and made of any suitable material such as plastic or metal. The current prototypes are made of transparent PET plastic. The sleeve is applied from the top of the beverage can. It adheres snugly and stably to the surface of the beverage can and can easily be applied and removed as desired. It has an opening at each end and is essentially cylindrical in shape while fitting the contours of the beverage can. The top end is flush with the top of the beverage can. The bottom end is flush right at or slightly below the bottom of the label of the beverage can. Although variable, the wall thickness is generally no more than 0.5 mm. This construction is essential to ensure that the general appearance of the beverage can is maintained. The sleeve can serve multiple functions. If the correct insulating material is used in the sleeve's construction, it can keep itself and its contents cool.
