Abstract: A lamination and method provide for an information displaying label with dual image receiving capabilities. The laminate includes a substrate with a thermally responsive coating in adhesive engagement with an overlying light transmissive protective layer. The thermally responsive coating is adapted to receive an information image upon the selective application of heat at a first temperature. The adhesive layer, which is non-reactive with the coating, bonds the coating and the protective layer together when heated to a second temperature lower than the first temperature. The adhesive layer provides a permanent and stable bond and may include ultraviolet inhibitors. The protective layer permits the transfer of heat to the underlying coating and provides an image receiving surface for additional label printing. The protective layer also protects the coating from environmental elements such as heat, moisture, chemicals and abrasions.
