Abstract: The tubular core of a rolled product (e.g., toilet tissue, foil, plastic wrap, paper towels, etc.) includes an advertising or other display thereon, visible to consumers when the product has been removed from the roll. The display may be applied directly to the core, or to a thin, flexible secondary sheet applied in turn to the core. The core tube with its message or secondary sheet and rolled product may be assembled and cut to length during manufacture. Alternatively, the secondary sheet may have a width somewhat wider than the length of the tube, so the ends of the sheet wrap around the ends of the tube and are visible about the ends of the tube when a rolled product is installed upon the tube. The present invention may be used for advertising, safety, public service, chance means (lottery, etc.) or other messages as desired.
