Round and die-cut labels with a thermochromic layer over printed artwork. At about 50 °C the dark layer clears to show the picture underneath — fruit characters, a logo, a message — and below about 30 °C it returns. The change can cover the whole label or only part of it. Used on milk-tea and coffee cups, mugs, lids and promotional drinkware.
