Abstract: A flexible adjustable split band with indicia on the exterior surface. The interior is made of injection molded spring plastic and an exterior covering is made of material selected from the group consisting of lanyard material, polyester fabric, and other stretchable material which can be heat sealed and onto which indicia can be placed by methods such as silkscreening or weaving. The band is formed by starting with an injection molded core of spring plastic of a given width and length which is formed into a curve and is separated at its two respective ends so that gap is created between the ends of the plastic core. A covering material such as lanyard material or polyester is slipped over the plastic core and is heat sealed at one end. The covering then pulled tightly over the plastic core and cut to size and heat sealed at its opposite end. An end cap made of ABS plastic or comparable material is then affixed onto each end of the band.

Abstract: A self-laminating system for sealing a business card or the like to a luggage tag. The self laminating system comprises a rigid backing, a flexible transparent sheet with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive material thereon and a removable cover liner which covers the entire area of the pressure sensitive adhesive material. The cover liner has a pre-cut crease which separates it into an upper portion and a lower portion, where the upper portion is pre-removed such that an exposed area of the pressure sensitive adhesive material on the flexible transparent sheet is affixed to the rigid backing. The card is placed between the rigid backing and the transparent sheet such that the lower portion of the cover liner is peeled off which exposes the rest of the pressure adhesive material so that the flexible transparent sheet can be securely affixed to the business card and the periphery of the rigid backing.
