Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for attaching a radially expandable rotatable label to a container. The expandable rotatable label is radially expanded and then longitudinally advanced over the container. After being expanded, the expandable label is permitted to contract into a tight, rotatable relationship with the container. The expandable rotatable label is preferably adapted with a transparent window portion to permit viewing of indicia disposed underneath the rotatable label. By rotating the expandable label relative to the container, a user can view written indicia disposed on the container or on an inner label affixed to the container.
