The present invention provides a coextruded multilayer sheet adapted for use as a label sleeve on containers, the sheet comprising a foam layer for use on the inside of the sleeve next to the container, and an outer solid skin layer, the skin layer and foam layer being coextruded from an extrudable blend comprising about 30% by weight to about 60% by weight of high density polyethylene, about 10% by weight to 30% by weight of polystyrene, and about 30% by weight to 50% by weight of a compatibility agent which is a block copolymer of butadiene and styrene, the resultant label sleeve being tough and sealable on a high density production basis; and also a container with such a sleeve label. |
