Method of manufacturing a cell tag

A method of manufacturing a cell tag having a call sign visible under low light and dark conditions, comprising steps of:

• providing a first sheet having a front surface, a back surface, and peripheral edge portions defining a plurality of apertures of a predetermined size through the first sheet comprising characters of the call sign;
• providing a second sheet having a front surface comprising one of a photoluminescence material and a thermal reflective material;
• and
• fixedly attaching the back surface of the first sheet to the front surface of the second sheet using only an adhesive or adhesives selected from a group consisting of a contact adhesive, a pressure sensitive adhesive, and a reactive adhesive, closely about at least a substantial portion of the peripheral edge portions.

A method of manufacturing a cell tag having a luminescent and infrared reflective call sign, comprising steps of:

• providing a first sheet having a front surface, a back surface, and peripheral edge portions defining a plurality of apertures of a predetermined first size through the first sheet comprising characters of the call sign, the back surface including an acrylic based pressure sensitive adhesive layer thereon;
• providing a second sheet having a front surface, a back surface opposite the front surface, and peripheral edge portions comprising a photoluminescence material defining a plurality of apertures of a predetermined second size smaller than the first size through the second sheet and comprising the characters of the call sign, the back surface of the second sheet including an acrylic based pressure sensitive adhesive layer thereon;
• providing a third sheet having a front surface including a material thereon reflective of radiation in the infrared range only;
• fixedly adhering the back surface of the first sheet to the front surface of the second sheet and the back surface of the second sheet to the front surface of the third sheet, respectively, with the acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives such that the peripheral edge portions of the second sheet are located within the apertures through the first sheet in substantially parallel relation to the peripheral edge portions thereof and the material reflective of radiation in the infrared range only is located within the apertures of the second sheet outlined by the peripheral edge portions of the first and second sheets.
