Abstract

A label image can remain impervious to a host of adverse environmental conditions including painting and acid washing with the disclosed invention. A protective clear mask pressure sensitive label having a protective mask sheet (42) releasably adhered with mask adhesive (44) to a sheet of transparent face stock (12) which in turn is releasably adhered with face stock adhesive (14) to a transparent release liner frame (20) section surrounding an image section (22) is disclosed. A die cut (18) is located in the release liner sheet (10) and defines a first removable frame section (20) and a second label defining section (22). The first section (20) surrounds the second section (22) so that when removed, a pattern of the adhesive (14) will be exposed. Reverse image printing (30) is disposed on the release liner second section (22).
