Beverage bottles or beverage cups, including for use in soda, cola, carbonated drinks, juice, coffee, milk, coconut milk, tea, wine, alcoholic beverages, drinking water (including pure water and mineral water;), cold drinks in Bottles, cans or boxes, bags, cups of certain liquid beverages, which can be plastic (eg plastic cola bottles, soda bottles, mineral water bottles, ordinary plastic cups, disposable plastic cups), glass (eg beer bottles) , red wine bottles, glass cups, ceramics (eg drinking cups, mugs), metal (eg aluminum or tinplate cans;), paper (eg milk packaging, milk packaging pillow bags, cola) Paper cups, disposable paper cups, etc.;), or a combination of the above materials.

Disposable cups, including disposable cups and disposable plastic cups, are relatively inexpensive, disposable cups that are used once or a few times.

As we all know, the current commercial bottled beverages (whether or not sealed with a bottle cap;), canned drinks, boxed drinks, bagged drinks and beverage cups (whether or not with a lid;), disposable cups, etc., at meetings, relatives and friends When a group of people gathers together and uses them at the same time, since the same kind of beverage bottles or cups (including disposable cups) have similar appearances, they are difficult to distinguish from each other, and it is easy for the user to mistakenly take other people's beverage bottles or cups. Causes cross-mixing, which causes a series of personal hygiene problems and increases the probability of disease transmission.

Moreover, used cups are sometimes misused because they are difficult to recognize, and they are also prone to cross-infection. Especially for disposable cups, when the same user is unable to determine which cup he is using, he often has to use a new disposable cup, resulting in a meeting or gathering, the same user often uses multiple cups, bringing Waste of resources and increased environmental burdens (especially the impact of disposable plastic cups on the environment is more serious;).

The Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN2659828Y, published on Dec. 1, 2004, discloses an identifiable beverage bottle or cup having a substrate with a printed identification mark on its outer wall, and then covering the coating layer on the identification symbol. , constitute the identification mark. The user can use a fingernail to scrape off part of the coating layer on the identification mark to scratch a special mark, so that the bottle or the cup can be identified, and the misuse can be avoided. However, the The solution uses a nail to scratch the paint layer, which will bring the paint layer dust to bring new hygiene problems to the user's hand and the beverage in the bottle, and the mark scratched by the nail is not beautiful enough, if the scratched stroke More than chaos is not easy to identify and remember. Summary of the invention

The invention overcomes the deficiencies in the prior art and the prior art, and provides a beverage container which can be personalized in appearance pattern, and the user can personalize the appearance pattern between the beverage containers conveniently and hygienically during use. The difference makes the beverage container easy to distinguish, so that the user can very easily identify the beverage container that he uses.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a personalized appearance pattern beverage container suitable for a user to hold, including a beverage container body, characterized in that: further comprising a label layer, the label layer being attached to at least the beverage container body An outer surface of a predetermined area is peelable, the label layer is divided into a plurality of small pieces that can be individually peeled off, and a pattern of an outer surface of at least a portion of the small area is removed in the small area of the portion The patterns displayed on the corresponding predetermined areas are not the same.

In the beverage container, it is further characterized in that the appearance pattern of each of the small pieces is different from the original (i.e., under the label layer) appearance pattern of the predetermined area of the corresponding beverage container body.

The beverage container may be a cola bottle, a cola drink cup, a soda bottle, a juice drink bottle, a soda drink cup with a lid, a can, a drink, a drinking cup, a drink cup, a mug, a disposable cup, a wine bottle, a wine glass, a glass Cups, paper cups, plastic cups, coffee cups, teacups, beverage bottles, mineral water bottles, drinking pure water bottles, beverage boxes, pillow-shaped beverage bags or beverage bags.

The above-mentioned label layer may be a common partial or all area covering the original outer wall of the beverage container, and the label layer can be easily peeled off or removed (for example, using a pressure sensitive adhesive tape, a sticker) , stickers, films, foils, etc. ;). The label layer can be a whole block or several whole areas with a certain interval. The label layer may or may not be printed on the label layer, but the pattern on the surface of the label layer is different from the pattern (under the label layer;) which is revealed after the label layer is removed. The constituent elements of the pattern may be The directionality of an art pattern, graphic, picture, color, text, photo or pattern element, or a combination of these elements. Moreover, the entire area of the tearable label layer has been previously subjected to a cutting process (for example, cutting by a die-cutting indentation process, or by other similar effects of the printing and cutting process to form a hollow scribe line or a hollow hole) Or the division process or division process into several smaller areas; these small areas can be square, rectangular, circular, elliptical, star-shaped, strip-shaped, tandem-shaped Or other differences The combination of a regular rule or an irregular shape allows the user to selectively or randomly remove a small piece, a plurality of pieces or all of the label layer of the label area to obtain a personality. The combination of different patterns makes a significant difference in the appearance of the beverage container.

The ingenious feature of the present invention is that the label layer covering the outer surface of at least a predetermined area of the beverage container body is intentionally peeled off, and the label layer is pre-divided into a plurality of smaller areas on the label layer. The original surface of the predetermined area under the surface and the layer has different patterns, so that the user can easily and freely peel off one or a part of the small area of the label layer, thereby realizing a personalized appearance pattern.

For example, if a 26-letter text pattern is used on the outer wall of a beverage bottle, and the user name is Pan, then he can tear off the label in the three-letter areas "P", "A", and "N" on the text label. The layer, which reveals the complete "P, A, N," three letters different from the label layer pattern, to distinguish this is its own bottle.

Or a canned soda can use a pure art pattern label layer, for example, a dragon, then a user only removes the label layer of the faucet part, revealing the complete and beautiful faucet pattern below, and another A user may only tear the label layer of the dragon's tail part to reveal the dragon's tail pattern; this way, the two can easily distinguish which beverage they are drinking.

In addition, since the present invention realizes a personalized and differentiated appearance pattern through the participation of the user in the use process, when the beverage container is mass-produced, the unified module and the same appearance pattern can be completely used in large quantities. It is not necessary or necessary to use a product specially designed and printed in multiple batches to print different products to produce a differentiated pattern, so that the invention can better control the manufacturing cost, facilitate production and packaging, and logistics. management.
