Abstract: An apparatus and method for constructing a rotatable label device and attaching it to a container. The rotatable label device includes an inner shell and an outer shell concentrically and rotatably mounted to the inner shell. Either the container, the inner shell or the outer shell may include a set of rims for limiting the movement of the outer shell along the axis of the container. These rims may be created by gluing panels, folding, embossing or by detaching perforated sections of an outer label. The rotatable label device may be attached to the container in one-step by first tacking the inner label to the outer label, mounting the combined unit and then separating the inner label from the outer label.

Abstract: A container has attached to its surface information fields containing information about the container's contents. A shell partially covered with an additional set of information fields and including a window is movably attached to the container so that when the shell is moved with respect to the container, the window reveals at least one of the information fields attached to the container surface. A method for manufacturing comprises the steps of affixing a first set of information fields to a container, defining a transparent window in a shell, and then disposing the shell around the container so that, in response to movement of the shell, the window reveals a variable subset of the information fields.
