Abstract

A sheet of wristbands comprising a plurality of wristband straps, each including opposed side edges. A side edge of each strap is coupled to a side edge of an adjacent strap to form a series of side-by-side straps. A first strap defines a first side edge of the series and a second strap defines a second side edge of the series. A closure is positioned on each strap. A first tear strip is coupled to the first side edge, and a second tear strip is coupled to the second side edge. The first tear strip has a first length, and the second tear strip has a second length substantially equal to the first length. It is preferred that the first and second lengths are substantially equal to a length of the wristband straps. At least one wristband strap has an end edge that is exposed. Each tear strip can also have an end edge that is exposed. Preferably, the tear strips each have a width that is narrower than the width of the wristband straps. Each strap can also have tamper cuts, but it is preferred that the strips do not have tamper cuts.

Claims

1. A sheet of wristbands comprising:

a plurality of wristband straps, each strap including opposed side edges, wherein a side edge of each strap is detachably coupled to a side edge of an adjacent strap to form a series of side-by-side straps, wherein a first strap defines a first side edge of the series of straps and a second strap defines a second side edge of the series of straps;

a closure positioned on each strap; and

a first tear strip positioned adjacent to the first strap and detachably coupled to the first side edge, the first tear strip having a first length; and

a second tear strip positioned adjacent to the second strap and detachably coupled to the second side edge, the second tear strip having a second length substantially equal to the first length, and wherein the first and second lengths are substantially the same as a length of at least one of the wristband straps.

2. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 1, wherein all of the wristband straps have substantially the same length.

3. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one wristband strap has an end edge that is exposed.

4. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 3, wherein each wristband strap has an edge that is exposed.

5. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 4, wherein the tear strips each have end edges that are exposed.

6. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 1, wherein the tear strips each have a width that is narrower than a width of at least one of the wristband straps.

7. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 6, wherein the width of the tear strips is less than 75% of the width of wristband straps

8. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 7, wherein the width of the tear strips is at least 50% of the width of wristband straps.

9. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 1, wherein a detachable coupling between straps comprises a perforation.

10. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 1, wherein a detachable coupling between straps and strips comprises a perforation.

11. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 1, wherein each strap includes tamper cuts, but strips do not include tamper cuts.

12. A sheet of wristbands comprising:

a plurality of wristband straps, each strap including opposed side edges, wherein a side edge of each strap is detachably coupled to a side edge of an adjacent strap to form a series of side-by-side straps, wherein a first strap defines a first side edge of the series of straps and a second strap defines a second side edge of the series of straps, and wherein at least one wristband strap has an end edge that is exposed;

a closure positioned on each strap; and

a first tear strip positioned adjacent to the first strap and detachably coupled to the first side edge; and

a second tear strip positioned adjacent to the second strap and detachably coupled to the second side edge.

13. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 12, wherein each wristband strap has an edge that is exposed.

14. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 13, wherein the tear strips each have an end edge that is exposed.

15. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 12, wherein the tear strips each have a width that is narrower than a width of at least one of the wristband straps.

16. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 15, wherein the width of the tear strips is less than 75% of the width of wristband straps

17. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 16, wherein the width of the tear strips is at least 50% of the width of wristband straps.

18. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 12, wherein a detachable coupling between straps comprises a perforation.

19. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 12, wherein a detachable coupling between straps and strips comprises a perforation.

20. A sheet of wristbands as defined in claim 12, wherein each strap includes tamper cuts, but strips do not include tamper cuts.
