Built with Medical Grade Materials for Real-World Use
The materials used in animal identification bands directly impact how well they perform in everyday environments. TabBand animal identification bands are constructed from a combination of medical grade plastics and specialized coatings to ensure they are durable, non-toxic, and easy to write on. This proprietary design supports long-term wear, active movement, and frequent handling in veterinary and animal care settings.
Laminated Plastic Construction
The core of each band is made from multiple layers of laminated polyethylene and polypropylene plastic. These layers create a high-strength structure that is highly resistant to tearing and ripping. This laminated construction allows the bands to remain flexible while still holding up to daily activity, grooming, and exposure to moisture.
Specialized Writing Surface
TabBand Max animal ID bands feature a specialized coating that makes writing clear and easy. Staff can write directly on the band using a standard ballpoint pen or sharpie without worrying about smearing or fading. This makes it simple to add names, identification numbers, or treatment notes during intake or care.
Secure and Nontoxic Adhesive
The closure uses a latex-free adhesive that sticks instantly and remains secure once applied. This adhesive is strong enough to keep the band in place during normal animal activity while still allowing trimming for proper sizing. The non-toxic formulation ensures safety for pets of all sizes and skin types.
Integrated Color Layers
Instead of using surface printing, TabBand laminates color directly into the material. These integrated color layers prevent running or smearing, even when exposed to water, shampoos, or medical treatments. This keeps identification visible and readable throughout the animal’s stay.
Practical Materials That Perform
Together, these materials provide:
- High resistance to tearing and moisture
- Clear, long-lasting writing and color visibility
- Non-toxic and skin-friendly wear
- Reliable performance in active care settings
TabBand animal identification bands are manufactured with materials that combine durability, safety, and everyday usability, making them a dependable choice for animal identification across clinics, shelters, and boarding facilities.
