Combination wristband and label form
A combination wristband and label form has a front ply and a back ply. The front ply has a top portion having a plurality of labels die cut therein and a bottom portion with a generally rectangular wristband configured to receive indicia, and an outer portion surrounding the wristband. The wristband is separable from the form and is formed of a single ply of water-resistant material, and has a first lateral end and a second lateral end. The back ply is at least partially coated in a control bond adhesive and further includes at least one area of silicone. The control bond adhesive includes between about 1 kg and 2 kg of a flexible adhesive; between about 1 kg and 2 kg of water; between about 12 g and 16 g gypsum, and between about 13 g and 23 g fumed silica.
