Abstract
A flexible, substantially non-stretchable, imprintable tape which includes lines of weakness constituting tear lines defining in outline a longitudinal series of symmetrical identification bracelets. Each bracelet has a generally rectangular imprintable portion, a first elongated strap portion at one end of the imprintable portion, and a second elongated 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 first and second portions each have a width substantially less than that of the tape. The first 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 second strap portion has a longitudinal edge aligned with an opposite side edge of the tape relative to the first strap portion and an opposite longitudinal edge defined by another one of the lines of weakness. No part of the tape is wasted.
