Abstract
An improved paper band includes an upper and lower elongate planar covering member and an elongate core member sandwiched in between the covering members. The core member is narrower in width than the coverings and has generally vertically disposed sidewalls extending lengthwise. The outer edge portions of the coverings extend outwardly beyond the sidewalls of the core member. The core is glued to at least one covering member. The outer edges of the covering members are also glued together. Preferably, all members are formed of repulpable fibers or biodegradable materials and are attached with water soluble, biodegradable adhesive. Alternatively core members can be formed of various synthetic materials or metal for greater strength if necessary.
