Abstract
A flexible, substantially non-stretchable, imprintable tape which includes lines of weakness constituting tear lines defining in outline a longitudinal series of identification bracelets. Each bracelet has a generally rectangular imprintable portion, an elongated strap portion at one end of the imprintable portion, and a stubby strap portion at an opposite end of the imprintable portion. The imprintable portion has a width equal to the width of the tape and the elongated and stubby portions each have a width less than that of the tape. The elongated strap portion has a longitudinal edge aligned with one of the side edges of the tape and an opposite longitudinal edge defined by one of the lines of weakness. The stubby strap portion has a longitudinal edge aligned with an opposite side edge of the tape relative to the elongated strap portion and an opposite longitudinal edge defined by another one of the lines of weakness.
