Abstract
A wristband configuration for receiving an accessory is described herein. In some implementations, a wristband includes a first side that includes a printable section of the wristband that includes a print coating. The wristband may include a second side, opposite the first side, that includes. The wristband may include may include a comfort coating, and an adhesive material on an adhesive section of the wristband. The wristband may include a receiving hole pattern that is configured to receive an accessory associated with the wristband and secure the accessory to the wristband when worn by a wearer.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- forming a wristband having a first side and a second side, the first side includes a printable section with a print coating the second side is disposed opposite the first side and includes a comfort coating;
- providing an adhesive material on an adhesive section of the wristband;
- defining a sensed region that longitudinally extends a length of the wristband;
- and
- forming a receiving hole pattern in the wristband to receive an accessory associated with the wristband to enable the accessory to be attached to the wristband when worn by a wearer,
- wherein at least one hole of the receiving hole pattern is positioned outside of the sensed region.
A method, comprising:
- forming a wristband web including a plurality of wristbands, the plurality of wristbands in the wristband web having a first side and a second side, the first side includes a printable section with a print coating and the second side is disposed opposite the first side and includes a comfort coating;
- providing an adhesive material on adhesive sections of the plurality of wristbands in the wristband web;
- defining a sensed region that longitudinally extends a length of the wristband web;
- and
- forming receiving hole patterns in the plurality of wristbands in the wristband web, the receiving hole patterns configured to receive an accessory to enable the accessory to be attached to the wristband when worn by a wearer,
- wherein holes of the receiving hole patterns are positioned outside of the sensed region.
A method, comprising:
- forming a wristband web including a plurality of wristbands, the plurality of wristbands in the wristband web having a first side and a second side, the first side includes a printable section with a print coating and the second side is disposed opposite the first side and includes a comfort coating;
- providing an adhesive material on adhesive sections of the plurality of wristbands in the wristband web;
- defining a sensed region that longitudinally extends a length of the wristband web centered along a central longitudinal axis of the wristband web;
- and
- forming receiving hole patterns in the plurality of wristbands in the wristband web, the receiving hole patterns includes extending through the first side to the second side that are configured to receive accessories,
- wherein a first one of the holes and a second one of the holes of the receiving hole pattern are aligned on a line that is parallel to and offset from the central longitudinal axis outside of the sensed region.
The method of claim 20, wherein the holes of the receiving hole patterns are offset from the central longitudinal axis to position the holes outside of the sensed region in an arrangement that maintains a strength of the plurality of wristbands and prevents interruption of the plurality of wristbands from receiving a printing operation from a printer caused by misinterpretation of the holes being detected by the printer as an end of one of the plurality of wristbands.
