The present invention provides a band for encircling another object with latch attachment. The band includes a plurality of layers, combined together in a stacked arrangement, where the front side facing of the first layer will form a front side facing of the band, and the back side facing of the last layer will form a back side facing of the band. A latch attachment including a latch connection point, where the latch attachment is located between two adjacent layers of the plurality of layers at an internal position along a length of the band proximate to one end of the band, but still a distance away from an edge of said one end of the band. Each layer between the location of the latch attachment within the stack of the plurality of layers and the back side facing of the band has a corresponding aligned opening in the layer for exposing the latch connection point through the back side facing of the band.
