Abstract
Abstract A dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label, and method of making the same, primarily for application upon in-process components in manufacturing operations to provide a reliable bar code identification means and real time data tracking capability of those components when subjected to high temperature processing environments of up to 800-degrees Fahrenheit, which label, following imprint thereon of either or both machine and human readable matter, is thereafter dimensionally reinforced with a high polymer film mechanically bonded to the face stock top-side surface thereof to produce a laminate structure that protects and maintains the printed imagery in a distortion free configuration during utilization in the high temperature processing environment and consistently provides a 100% read rate legibility of the machine readable matter imprinted thereon when sensed with compatable scanning equipment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label for distortion free utilization upon support surfaces in high temperature application environments of up to 800-degrees Fahrenheit, comprising in combination a face stock material having applied to the lower inward facing surface thereof an adhesive bonding primer and imprinted upon the upper outward facing surface thereof a printing of machine and human readable matter, a carrier lining backing paper having applied thereto a silicone release medium, an adhesive film laminately bonding the lower inward facing surface of said face stock material to said silicone release medium to form a pressure sensitive laminate label structure, and a heat resistant dimensionally stable insulating cover film component comprised of a high polymer having an imide group in the polymer chain being laminately bonded to the upper outward facing surface of said face stock material upon said printing by means of a bonding adhesive component to thereby form said dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
A dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label for distortion free utilization upon support surfaces in high temperature application environments of up to 800-degrees Fahrenheit, comprising in combination a face stock material having applied to the lower inward facing surface thereof an adhesive bonding primer and imprinted upon the upper outward facing surface thereof a printing of machine and human readable matter, a carrier lining backing paper having applied thereto a silicone release medium, an adhesive film laminately bonding the lower inward facing surface of said face stock material to said silicone release medium to form a pressure sensitive laminate label structure, and a heat resistant dimensionally stable insulating cover film component comprised of a high polymer having an imide group in the polymer chain being laminately bonded to the upper outward facing surface of said face stock material upon said printing by means of a bonding adhesive component to thereby form said dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label according to claim 1 wherein said face stock material is unplasticized polyvinyl chloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label according to claim 2 wherein said printing of machine and human readable matter is accomplished by a photocomposition process.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label according to claim 2 wherein said printing of machine and human readable matter is accomplished by a dot matrix impact process.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The dimensionally stable pressure sensitive label according to claim 2 wherein said printing of machine and human readable matter is accomplished by an electrostatic process.
