Abstract: An in-mold chip is provided that includes first and second labels, printed visible indicia, a protective coating and a thermoplastic polymer. The first and second labels are disposed adjacent each other about a common central axis, each label having a first surface and a second surface. The printed visible indicia is selectively applied to one or more portions of at least one of the first and second surfaces of the first and second labels. The protective coating is selectively applied to the surface of the first and second labels containing the printed visible indicia. The first and second labels are encased by the thermoplastic polymer during the in-mold process. A method for making an in-mold chip is also provided.
