Abstract: A customizable accessory for steel-walled insulated drinking vessels, comprising a magnetic wrap that conforms to the shape of the drinking vessel. The magnetic wrap includes a magnetic layer formed from a flexible magnetic material and a decorative layer made from a printable, wipe-clean material. The decorative layer is adhered to the magnetic layer using an industrial-strength adhesive. The accessory can be customized to fit different vessel circumferences and the magnetic layer provides a magnetic strength of at least 15 mil and a pull strength of at least 12.5 foot-pounds per square foot. The accessory is lightweight and can be manufactured by printing a design on the design layer, applying an industrial-strength adhesive to the adhesive side of the design layer, and bonding the design layer with the magnetic layer. The combined layers are then rolled tightly to retain a cylindrical shape for application to the drinking vessel.
