- a substrate having first and second ends, and a surface for receiving indicia thereon;
a color code printed on a portion of the surface;
a removable, opaque coating layer overlying the color code;
a sheet of transparent material having a first portion attached to the substrate at the first end and a second portion free from the substrate at the second end;
the second portion of the sheet of transparent material overlying the receiving surface of the substrate, the opaque coating layer and the color code;
a layer of adhesive material on a surface of the sheet of transparent material facing the substrate, the opaque coating layer and the color code; and
a removable protective liner covering the adhesive layer on the second portion of the sheet of transparent material.
