Abstract

An identification bracelet includes a shield or cover such as a liner affixed thereto. The bracelet includes an adhesive closure acting between the ends of the bracelet to maintain the bracelet in a desired encircling relationship about an object, and the cover prevents the premature exposure and attachment of the adhesive. In an alternative embodiment, the shield includes a bonding strip to accomplish the relatively permanent affixation of the shield to the bracelet. The shield preferably includes a non-adhesive surface on the portion of the shield that confronts the adhesive prior to engaging the bracelet about the object to be identified.
