Abstract
A laminated or multiple-ply container structure comprising an inner wall of a substantially rigid material and an outer wall of a thin, generally pliant material, such as a glossy finished paper, adhesively fastened thereto by a suitable adhesive or glue. Formed in the outer wall of the container, as an integral component thereof, and through the intermediary of a tear outline constituted of perforations extending through at least the outer ply or wall is a section constituting a readily removable or peelable coupon-like panel, with the peeling off of the panel adapted to be effectuated without adversely affecting the integrity of the container structure or necessitating the use of special cutting instruments or tools. The outer surface of the removable panel has a heat transferable image imprinted thereon which, after separation of the panel from the container structure, is adapted to be positioned in contact with a suitable transfer surface whereby, through the application of a hot iron, the transferable image which is also commonly referred to as an "iron-on" is imparted to the transfer surface to form a decorative image or imprint thereon.
