Abstract: A container having a preapplied appliqué, the appliqué being applied at a time that is significantly prior to the time of consumption. The appliqué may be an edible appliqué. The appliqué is applied to a portion of the container, such as to the rim of the container. The appliqué may be applied by applying an adhesive to the portion of the container and applying the appliqué to the adhesive. Alternatively, the appliqué is applied to the container directly with or without use of an adhesive.

Abstract: A container rim attachment has a pre-applied appliqué. The container rim attachment comprises a carrier with an outer surface and a rim-receiving recess. An attractant appliqué is applied to the outer surface of the carrier such that there is an adherence between the appliqué and the outer surface. The adherence between the appliqué and the carrier is sufficient to withstand conditions associated with shipping, storage, or handling of the carrier and appliqué without substantial appliqué degradation. The appliqué may be an edible appliqué for use with beverage containers.
