We have recently introduced a new label that is ideal for this type of need.
Its called StainerShield -- besides being highly resistant to solvents,
chemicals and stains, (especially xylene) its very easy/economical to print
using a standard bar code printer and does not require any plastic cover or
overlaminate.  Pathology labs are having great success using it, as it
enables you to put a bar code label on the slide before it goes through the
stainer.  You can get more information and testing samples from the website
- www.stainershield.com, or call us directly at 800-733-5252 ext.2700
