A cushioned wristband includes a carrier (44) having a multi-layered band portion and a strap (48) sewn to the back of the band portion (46) of the carrier (44). The band (46) has a surface (50) with loop material and the strap (48) has a surface of hook material, the hook and loop surfaces being intended to secure the band (46) in place as it is wrapped about a patient's appendage. The strap (48) is appropriately sized to insert through one or both of two cinch slots of a self-laminating hang tag (20) which may be printed with patient information and separated from a sheetlet or page sized business form processed through a printer for imaging of patient information thereon. The band portion (46) of the carrier (44) includes a cushioned layer (52) of soft foamy or spongy material for contacting a patient's skin to thereby substantially eliminate any possibility for abrasion, rash, or other irritation or injury to the patient through wearing of the wristband.

A business form (20) particularly adapted for generalized use, although it may be used in a medical or hospital environment includes in a first embodiment a wristband that is provided with a face stock imaging area (46) and an overlying laminate portion with each having one or more cinch slots (44) through which the free end (34) is inserted for securing the wristband about a person's appendage. Variations for the cinch (42) closure including use of a fold over flap, or two flaps, or an extra cinch slot, or holes with a pin closure are also shown. The labels (50) and the wristband may each be imprinted with identifying indicia such as bar coding and the form is laid out to be arranged in a continuous, relatively narrow, web for convenient processing through a thermal printer .
