A patient wristband form has a transparent ply with an upper surface and a
lower surface, and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the lower
surface. A release ply has an upper surface and a lower surface, with a
release coating on the upper surface. The transparent ply is removably
mounted on the upper surface of the release ply by the pressure sensitive
adhesive coating. A die cut in the transparent ply defines an elongated
wristband. An opaque coating is provided on the upper surface of the
transparent ply in a central portion of the elongated wristband. A die
cut in the transparent ply defines an overlaminate label that is sized to
cover at least a part of the central portion of the elongated wristband,
thereby covering indicia printed on the opaque coating. A paper ply may
also be mounted on the release ply by pressure sensitive adhesive. The
paper ply defines a plurality of labels that may be printed at the same
time as the wristband.
