- a light-pervious cup;
a film at least partially disposed on the cup, the film defining a light-impervious region and a light-pervious region, the cup at least partly viewable through the light-pervious region; and
at least one volume dispensing indicator that is part of the light-impervious region of the film and that traverses a light-pervious region to create a visual demarcation, each volume dispensing indicator indicating a volume of product that has been dispensed into the cup;
wherein the light-pervious region is configured to provide visual detection of the at least one volume dispensing indicator, as well as the dispensed product, from a side of the measuring cup assembly.

19. A measuring cup assembly, comprising:
-
a clear plastic cup, wherein the cup defines a closed bottom and an annular projecting lip, with threads on the inside of the lip that are constructed and arranged to engage mating threads carried by the container so that the cup also acts as a cover assembly, and where the cup extends on both sides of the lip and comprises an extension portion configured as a cylindrically shaped wall that extends past a lip; a generally opaque shrink-wrap film disposed on the cup, the film defining a light-impervious region and one or more light-pervious windows that are clear regions of the film, the cup at least partly viewable through the windows; and at least two volume dispensing indicators that comprise narrow straight portions of the light-impervious region of the film that are essentially parallel to the closed bottom of the cup and that traverse the light-pervious region to create a visual demarcation, each volume dispensing indicator indicating a volume of product that has been dispensed into the cup; wherein the windows are configured to provide visual detection of the volume dispensing indicators, as well as the dispensed product, from a side of the measuring cup assembly.
