Abstract: A glass container, particularly a bottle, is wrapped in a plastic laminate which is held to the glass by an adhesive. The plastic laminate protects the surface of the bottle from abrasive forces which would diminish the strength of the glass, in combination with the adhesive substantially prevents scattering of the glass, should it be broken, and, because of its structure, provides for application of an attractive graphic design or label which is also protected from abrasion. The plastic laminate includes an inner laminate which is generally opaque, and an outer lamina which is transparent, the label or other graphic design being placed between the lamina.
