Abstract
Various sheeted articles are described. The articles include one or more banding products such as wristbands or ankle bands. The banding products are securely retained within the sheet articles prior to use by one or more regions of adhesive. Upon removal of the banding products from the sheet, one end of the band (an attachment end) comprises an adhesive to allow attachment to the other end, and the second end including the strap portion is generally free of any adhesive or liner material and the under surface of the second end is substantially formed by the material of the face layer. The articles can also include a collection of removable adhesive backed labels.
Claims25
A sheeted article providing at least one identification band comprising:
- a face layer having an upper surface and a lower surface and defining at least one identification band, the at least one identification band having a first region proximate a first end, and a second region defined by a second end and a strap extending between the first and second end;
- a dry peel release coating disposed on the lower surface of the face layer within the second region;
- a liner layer;
- a release material disposed on a first region of the liner layer proximate and in contact with the region of pressure sensitive adhesive;
- and
- a region of pressure sensitive adhesive overlying the release material;
- a permanent adhesive disposed on a second region of the liner extending along at least a majority of the strap and the second end of the band defined by the face layer, the permanent adhesive being chosen from a hot melt adhesive.
A sheeted article providing at least one identification band comprising:
- a face layer having an upper surface and a lower surface and defining at least one identification band, the at least one identification band having a first region proximate a first end, and a second region defined by a second end and a strap extending between the first and second end;
- a liner layer;
- a release material disposed on the liner layer in an area corresponding to the first region of the band;
- a first adhesive overlying the release material;
- a second adhesive disposed on the liner extending along at least a majority in an area corresponding to the second region of the band, the second adhesive being chosen from a hot melt adhesive;
- and
- a deadener disposed on the second adhesive;
- wherein upon removal of the identification band from the sheeted article, the first region of the identification band comprises the region of pressure sensitive.
A method of forming a sheeted article having a removable identification band, the method comprising:
- providing a face layer having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- die cutting a band in the face layer, the band having a first region proximate a first end, and a second region defined by a second end and a strap extending between the first and second end;
- providing a liner layer comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;
- applying a release coating on the upper surface of the linear in a region corresponding to the first region of the band;
- applying a first adhesive over the release agent;
- applying a second adhesive on the upper surface of the liner in a region corresponding to the second region of the band, the second adhesive being chosen from a hot melt adhesive;
- applying a deadener over the second adhesive;
- and
- mating the face layer with the liner layer.
