Abstract: A bib for children is fabricated of a thermally bonded laminate of vinyl film and polyester fabric materials. The laminate is provided with an embossed finish which is abrasion resistant and washable. A water based, non-leaching acrylic ink is applied to the embossed finish for ornamentation. The bid includes a body portion having interior vinyl and outer polyester sides, top and bottom peripheral edges, and side edges. First and second neck fastening members extend from the top peripheral edge and terminate at overlapping ends which include synthetic hook and loop fastener elements. The bib also includes a pocket formed by a panel which overlies and is thermally sealed to the body portion. A durable pocket construction is provided by employing reinforcing thermal seals to secure the pocket panel to the body portion.
