Estimating the term…
A business form including a wristband is provided with a print area forming a badge, the badge having a length less than and a width greater than a width of either of two straps used to attach the wristband to the wrist, the badge thus having a greater print area to improve the readability of the indicia displayed therein. A business form including a wristband has a bulged rectangularly shaped print area to allow information to be printed transversely across the print area to improve readability of the indicia displayed in the print area. Thus, the bulged rectangularly shaped print area can accommodate one or both of bar codes printed thereon in ladder as well as picket fence fashion. A security seal is disclosed which comprises a small, adhesive coated patch of laminate for sealing the joinder of the wristband ends and which has points of weakness such as X's die cut therein so that it separates or destructs upon removal to provide an indication of tampering with the wristband. Also disclosed is an embodiment of the wristband form that is imprinted with identifying indicia for collecting, tracking and administering a patient's blood collection and blood product compatibility.
A business form including a sheet with a separable wristband die cut therein, said sheet comprising a lamination ply and a face stock ply, the face stock ply having a die cut defining a wristband print area, the lamination ply having a die cut defining a wristband laminating portion, said laminating portion comprising a pair of offset panels with a pair of straps extending to their sides, at least one of said panels having an asymmetrical transition between it and the other of said panels, wherein the strap associated with the panel having the asymmetrical transition being substantially adhesive free along its length except for a patch of adhesive at its end, and a die cut in said face stock ply to define a protective layer of face stock covering said adhesive patch so that the wristband may be separated from the sheet by separating it at the protective layer.
A business form including a sheet with a separable wristband, said sheet comprising a lamination ply and a face stock ply, the face stock ply having a die cut defining a wristband print area, the lamination ply having a die cut defining a wristband laminating portion comprising a pair of panels with a pair of straps extending to their sides, wherein at least one of said panels has an offset shoulder transition between at least it and the other of said panels to facilitate separation of said wristband from said sheet while maintaining the integrity of said laminating portion, wherein the strap associated with the panel having the offset shoulder transition being substantially adhesive free along its length except for a patch of adhesive at its end, and a die cut in said face stock ply to define a protective layer of face stock covering said adhesive patch so that the wristband may be separated from the sheet by separating it at the protective layer.
A business form including a sheet with a separable wristband, said sheet comprising a lamination ply and a face stock ply, the face stock ply having a die cut defining a wristband print area, the lamination ply having a die cut defining a wristband laminating portion, said laminating portion comprising a pair of panels with straps extending to their sides, said print area being adhered to one of said panels, at least one of said panels having an overlapping end so that when the wristband is separated from the sheet and the panels are folded over to laminate the print area, said panel end overlaps the other panel's corresponding end, the strap associated with the panel having the overlapping end being substantially adhesive free along its length except for a patch of adhesive at its end, and a die cut in said face stock ply to define a protective layer of face stock covering said adhesive patch so that the wristband may be separated from the sheet by separating it at the protective layer.
A business form including a sheet with a separable wristband carrier die cut therein, said sheet comprising at least a lamination ply, the lamination ply having a die cut defining a wristband laminating portion, said wristband laminating portion comprising a pair of offset panels with a pair of straps extending to their sides, said offset panels being sufficiently offset so that upon folding them over to laminate them, each of said panels has an exposed edge, and at least one of said panels having an asymmetrical transition between it and the other of said panels, each of said straps being substantially adhesive free along their length except for a patch of adhesive at their ends.
A business form including a sheet comprising at least a lamination ply, the lamination ply having a die cut defining a wristband laminating portion comprising a pair of panels with a pair of straps extending to their sides, and wherein at least one of said panels has an offset shoulder transition between at least it and the other of said panels to facilitate separation of said lamination portion from said sheet while maintaining its integrity, said offset shoulder transition extending outboard of the other panel's corresponding end, and each of said straps being substantially adhesive free along their length except for a patch of adhesive at their ends.
A business form including a sheet comprising at least a lamination ply, the lamination ply having a die cut defining a wristband laminating portion comprising a pair of panels with a pair of straps extending to their sides, and wherein at least one of said panels has an offset shoulder transition between at least it and the other of said panels to facilitate separation of said lamination portion from said sheet while maintaining its integrity, each of said straps being substantially adhesive free along their length except for a patch of adhesive at their ends and wherein the panel end adjacent the at least one offset shoulder transition has a substantially straight edge leading into said at least one offset shoulder transition, said straight edge partially forming a periphery for surrounding a print area upon separation and folding over of said panels to substantially encapsulate said print area.
A business form including a sheet comprising at least a lamination ply, the lamination ply having a die cut defining a wristband laminating portion, said laminating portion comprising a pair of panels with straps extending to their sides, and at least one of said panels having an overlapping end so that when the wristband laminating portion is separated from the sheet and the panels are folded over to laminate a print area, said panel end overlaps the other panel's corresponding end, each of said straps being substantially adhesive free along their length except for a patch of adhesive at their ends.
