ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved container holder having a unique shape that facilitates efficient manufacturing of the holder and printing of advertising material at a predetermined location on the holder. The container holder comprises an elongate body delimited by top and bottom edges and first and second end edges. The top and bottom edges define straight lines that are parallel to each other. The body further comprises a first tab positioned at the first end edge of the body, and a second tab positioned interiorly of the body, and generally adjacent to the first tab. The tabs are positioned at an acute angle with respect to one of the top and bottom edges, and extend away from each other in opposite directions. The body further comprises a first slot positioned adjacent the second end edge, and a second slot positioned generally adjacent the first slot. The first and second slots are positioned so as to receive the corresponding first and second tabs, the slots being positioned at an acute angle with respect to one of the top and bottom edges. The body further comprises an outer surface having a texture embossed thereon so as to increase the grippability and insulating properties of the container holder.
