Livestock security tag assembly
First Claim
1. A livestock identification tag assembly comprising:
- (a) a heat seal laminate comprising;
(i) a first facestock having an upper surface and a lower surface;
(ii) a heat-activatable layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface of the heat-activatable layer is adhered to the lower surface of said facestock; and
(b) a flexible polymeric substrate, having an upper surface;
wherein the lower surface of the heat-activatable layer of the laminate is bonded to the upper surface of the substrate;
(c) identifying indicia positioned between the heat-activatable layer and the flexible substrate; and
(d) a carrier layer overlying the upper surface of the first facestock.
