ABSTRACT:
A method especially useful for marking property having a multitude of individually-valuable metal components involves adhering at least one specially-constructed label to at least one painted metal surface of the property to be marked. Each label includes a thermal label stock layer having information relating to the marked property imprinted on one side and a non-release thermal adhesive layer coated on another side. The label is impregnated with a chemical which is visible only when exposed to ultraviolet light and has apertures therethrough forming identifying indicia at a predetermined location, such as a personal identification number unique to the property owner, and/or a bar code imprinted thereon containing the identifying indicia. A durable topcoat on the label provides a protective seal. After the label is adhered to the metal surface, the ultraviolet-visible chemical migrates to substrata thereof. The identifying indicia can be observed by scanning the bar code while the label is adhered to the metal surface. If the label is removed, the identifying indicia can still be observed by exposing the metal surface to ultraviolet light, rendering visible the ultraviolet-visible chemical and outlining the identifying indicia on the metal surface. A label system for marking property using the above-noted method and a method for making the label system are also disclosed.
