A label is provided consisting of a lamination of two layers. One of these layers is a printable layer capable of being heat shrunk onto a can the upper and bottom parts of which are tapered inwardly. The preferred material for this layer is polystyrene. The other layer is polypropylene the function of which is to add strength to the first layer and to trap there against the printing ink which is printed onto the polystyrene layer. The polypropylene permits undistorted perception of the printed material. The two materials cooperate to permit printing and label application processes.
