Abstract

An identification bracelet for mounting about a person's wrist or the like incorporates a sealable window to protect wearer-related information against contact with moisture and the like. The bracelet includes a flexible band defining an information-bearing zone, in combination with an overlying adhesive-backed transparent cover strip. In an initial state, the cover strip has opposite ends securely adhered to the band, and a central window segment separated from the band by a peel-off release film. The window segment is adapted for lift-away separation from the band as by tearing along a line of weakness line at one end thereof to expose the information-bearing zone for receiving wearer-related information, and for facilitated peel-off removal of the release film, followed by adhesively seating the strip central window segment onto the band in a manner defining a sealed perimeter overlying and protecting the wearer-related information.
