Abstract
A wristband tag strip comprises a border portion, a tag portion having a perimeter, and a cut portion between the border portion and the tag portion to define at least a portion of the perimeter. The cut portion includes a kiss-cut portion and a through-cut portion. In one embodiment, the perimeter comprises at least two corner sections separating at least two side sections, wherein through-cut portions define the at least two corner sections and kiss-cut portions define the at least two side sections. Preferably, the through-cut portion has a length that is at least 2% (e.g., at least 3%, 4%, or 5%) of a length of the perimeter. Also, the kiss-cut portion preferably has a thickness that is less than 25% (e.g., less than 15%, 10%, or 5%) of the thickness of the tag portion.
