The present disclosure relates to a permanent identification marking, which preferably comprises a thermally printed label, affixed to a rubber or rubber-like flooring article during vulcanization. The label is made from either thermoplastic elastomer or the same rubber material as the flooring article. Further, a process for producing such marked flooring articles is provided, consisting of providing a die-cut label blank, thermally printing the die-cut label, positioning such label in a desired location on one surface of a flooring article, and vulcanizing the flooring article to produce a finished flooring article and to secure the label to the surface thereof. Specifically, a process for producing mass-customized labels useful for identifying rubber floor mats is described. |
