Abstract
A container assembly comprised of a sleeve can be provided so as to circumscribe an underlying container and fixedly coupled to the underlying container at one or more portions of the underlying container. The container can have sidewalls with a surface geometry or geometries that prevent or make difficult the application of either a pre-printed pressure sensitive label or direct printing. Thus, the sleeve can have a decoration of label provided therein, while as the same time optionally allowing viewing access to the underlying container. The sleeve can be supported by the underlying container and may have a rigidity less than a rigidity of the sidewall(s) with the surface geometry of the underlying container.
