Abstract: An improved resealable folded label structure provided with a graduated pressure-sensitive adhesive profile which is applied to the label front cover contact side of an outer protective overlaminate so that the label cover adhesion surface and hinge connecting tab portion of the outer protective overlaminate have a substantially thicker pressure-sensitive adhesive layer than does the over-lap opening and resealing tab portion thereof, such that if a user inadvertently attempts to open the label from the hinge tab side, being the wrong side, the extra adhesive thickness applied thereto will provide sufficient adhesion to prevent delamination damage to the label until such time as the user realizes their error and then proceeds to open the label from the proper over-lapping reseal tap side.

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.
