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.
