A composite multi-ply tubular consumer products container having an outwardly visible raised design formed along a sidewall thereof is disclosed. The container is comprised of a continuous body ply wrapped about a longitudinal axis into an elongate tubular shape. The body ply has an exterior surface on which at least one protruding or raised panel member is positioned, whereupon a continuous label ply is wrapped about the exterior surface of the body ply and the at least one protruding member so that the at least one protruding member forms the raised design on that portion of the label ply wrapped thereabout. A method of making such a container, and an apparatus on which the container may be made, are also disclosed.
