Methods and devices with a circuit for carrying information on a host

An identification device in the nature of a wristband, tag or label, comprising:

• a first substrate having a first circuit host and a first transponder bonded or printed on one side;
• a second substrate having an antenna bonded or printed on one side;
• a first bonding layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate substantially co-extensive with both the first substrate and second substrate but not over the circuit host;
• the first substrate aligned with and bonded to the second substrate, wherein at least a portion of the antenna is aligned with the first circuit host such that the antenna is in communication range of the first transponder;
• wherein the first bonding layer has an adhesive strength less than the adhesive strength of the bond between the first circuit host and the first substrate and the bond between the antenna and the second substrate.

• wherein the first bonding layer has an adhesive strength less than the adhesive strength of the bond between the first circuit host and the first substrate and the bond between the second circuit host and the second substrate.
