A collapsible cup with vented pocket comprises a base member for supporting the apparatus. A plurality of telescoping components form a fluid-tight seal by friction fitting the plurality of telescoping components together. An outermost telescoping component is attached to the base member to form an impervious junction between the base member and the outermost telescoping component. A vented pocket is attached to an innermost telescoping component. The innermost telescoping component is the final component of the plurality of telescoping components.

The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip includes an attachment element for attaching said identification stencil to said interior surface of said cavity. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said carrier strip is adapted to be attached to said interior surface of said cavity using an attachment material. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said carrier strip further includes a barrier layer for preventing said attachment material from coming into contact with said carrier strip. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein each of said voids are formed by a depression in said carrier strip. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein each of said voids is formed by a cutout in said carrier strip. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein each of said cutouts extends fully through said carrier strip. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip is generally flexible in order to conform to the shape of the interior surface of said cavity to which said stencil is attached. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip is made from mineral fiber. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip is made from wood pulp. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip is made from mica. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip is made from a material which can withstand a temperature of at least 3,000 degrees F. without being damaged to the point that said identification stencil is no longer useful for its intended purpose. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip is made from a material which can withstand a pressure of at least 1500 PSI without being damaged to the point that said identification stencil is no longer useful for its intended purpose. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein said identification code is formed of a plurality of identification code elements and wherein said carrier strip includes a plurality of identification code element locations, said voids being formed at selected ones of said element locations. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the presence or absence of a said void at a said element location forms a unique identification code for said identification stencil. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip further includes an attachment element for attaching said identification stencil to said interior surface of said cast. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein said carrier strip is adapted to be attached to said interior surface of said cavity using an attachment material. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said carrier strip further includes a barrier layer for preventing said attachment material from coming into contact with said carrier strip. 19. A method for uniquely identifying a plurality of molded articles using a machine readable bar code number integrally molded into said articles during a molding process, said method comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of bar code identification stencils each having a carrier strip which carries an identification code, each said identification code being formed of a plurality of spaced apart voids and being unique for each of said plurality of articles to be identified; attaching said stencil to an interior surface of a mold used to mold said articles; filling said mold with molding material to mold said articles and to fill said voids to thereby form said bar code number; and using each said stencil for each of said plurality of articles to be molded. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein each of said voids extends through said carrier strip. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein each of said void
