       TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0004]    The present invention relates generally to method for providing advertising content on beverage insulating sleeves and cups, more particularly, to creating a method where advertising content may contain up to date information printed on the outer side of the sleeves and/or cups, such as daily national and world wide news, daily local weather report, daily comics, jokes, daily business and stock market information, daily local news, daily emergency local news, sport news, lottery report, health and sport information, and other daily information for the customers, advertising, sales, and the like. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0005]    Hot and cold beverages have been sold in various food and drink venues, such as fast food restaurants, coffee shops, internet café, hospitals, businesses, hotels, etc. People invented thermal insulating sleeves for holding beverage containers, that provide protection against discomfort or burning that can occur when person holds beverage sleeves that is attached to the outer side of the beverage container, which is too hot or too cold due to the temperature off the liquid inside the beverage container. Outer side of the sleeves is used for printing visual information that is used for advertising. Usually, printed information is made from logo of the company and the message that the company want to advertise. In this way, company advertise it self or the desired event. 
         [0006]    However, in the prior art, the visual information that is printed on the outer side of the beverage insulating sleeves and/or the cups, is not corresponding with same speed as the speed of today&#39;s dynamic life. Because of that, daily news information is not printed on the outer side of the beverage sleeves and/or cups. Visual information placed on the outer side of the beverage sleeves and/or cups need to correlate with the changes in the people&#39;s life. That is the essence of this invention. Using this invention, all visual information may be up to date with the reality and give daily information to the customers. In this way, beverage sleeves and/or cups become very informational. News that happened previous day may be printed on the beverage sleeves and/or cups, so people can get the information from previous day first things in the morning. In addition, report from the stock market from the previous day may be printed together with jokes, lottery report, advertising, health information, emergencies, and the like. 
         [0007]    There are different printing techniques to print daily advertisement on the sleeves and/or cups, such as offset printing, stamping stamps and/or screen-printing. Another way to do that is to print labels using same techniques, such as offset printing, stamping stamps, computer printing and/or screen-printing, where customer may choose the desired design and glued on the outer side of the beverage sleeves and/or cups. The designs may be find, chosen and downloaded from the internet and web sites, or send by an e-mail, or other electronic way of delivery information.
