A combination wristband and label form. The front side has a first portion having a plurality of labels die cut therein and a second portion having a void. A back side of the form comprises a polyester section. The form includes a single-ply wristband defined by die cuts in the polyester section. The single-ply wristband has a foldable portion comprising a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is configured to accept printed indicia. A strap extends laterally from the first panel in a first direction and a tab extends from the second panel in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The tab is configured to be adhesively adhered to the strap to secure the single-ply wristband around a person's appendage. The single-ply wristband is of unitary construction and is devoid of paper.
