Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a substrate including an interior side and an exterior side, the exterior side having an adhesive layer, a metallization layer provided on the adhesive layer, a printing layer of textured graphics arranged on the metallization layer, and a clear and flexible plastic layer configured and arranged to provide a planar surface over the printing layer, the substrate being configured and arranged to flex between a planar state, in which the interior side and the exterior side are opposing and substantially parallel with respect to one another, and a cylindrical state in which the interior side and the exterior side form concentric cylinders; a first closure mechanism including a first set of a plurality of engageable portions and a plurality of insertable portions; and a second closure mechanism including a second set of a plurality of engageable portions and a plurality of insertable portions, the second closure mechanism being configured and arranged with the first closure mechanism to hold the substrate in the cylindrical state by insertion of the first set and second set of the plurality of insertable portions into the first set and the second set of the plurality of engageable portions, to engage the first closure mechanism and the second closure mechanism, and to mitigate withdrawal of the plurality of insertable portions from the plurality of engageable portions, the substrate being configured and arranged with the closure mechanisms to, in the cylindrical state, form a receptacle for an object, and to provide insulation to mitigate heat transfer of the object, with opposing ends of the substrate being interleaved along a linear direction and with the closure mechanisms engaging with the interleaved ends of the substrate along the linear direction.
