A metalized shrink film for contoured containers and other articles and a process for manufacturing the same. A preferred metalized shrink film includes a heat-shrinkable film layer, a varnish disposed over the film on at least one side, and a metalized layer disposed over the varnish. The metalized layer is preferably viewable through the heat-shrinkable film layer. Preferably, the varnish is a clear and ultraviolet curable, and the heat-shrinkable film includes images or graphics. A preferred method of manufacturing the metalized shrink film includes: providing a heat-shrinkable film material; applying varnish over the film; and applying a metal material over the varnish and any regions of the film not covered by the varnish. Preferably, the heat shrink film is incorporated into a heat-shrinkable label or sleeve used on contoured containers, such as bottles. When the label or sleeve is shrunk over contours of the container, the metalized regions viewable through the film and the images or graphics on the film do not discolor or become cloudy near the contours.
