Abstract
Disclosed is a process to manufacture an environmental sensor. The process includes dispensing a dry powder material to a first area on a media element, wherein the powder material includes a plurality of microcapsules, each microcapsule encapsulating an environmental indicator material. The process further includes dispensing an adhesive to the media element. After the powder material and the adhesive have been dispensed to the media element, the powder material is in contact with the dispensed adhesive, and the adhesive holds the powder material in position.
