A business form particularly adapted for generalized use, although it may
be used in a medical or hospital environment includes in a first
embodiment a wristband that is provided with a face stock imaging area
and an overlying laminate portion with each having one or more cinch
slots through which the free end is inserted for securing the wristband
about a person's appendage. The labels and the wristband may each be
imprinted with identifying indicia such as bar coding and the form is
laid out to be arranged in a continuous, relatively narrow, web for
convenient processing through a thermal printer. A second embodiment of
the invention includes a self laminating wristband similar in
construction to other embodiments and comprised of a layer of face stock
and a laminate, with the laminating portion having its overlapping half
adjoined at the end of the first lamination portion instead of at its
side. In other words, the laminating portion includes two halves which
fold together about a fold line to enclose the face stock as before,
except that the halves fold over end-to-end. The cinch comprises two
slots which may both be located outboard of the face stock, and in the
laminate portion alone or in both the face stock and laminate portion.
Any of the wristband constructions may be provided in any combination,
with or without labels, on a sheetlet or a page sized sheet, in any of a
number of configurations, to suit any particular application, as desired
by a user.
