A composite web, with elastic and inelastic regions, is formed to separated or punched into diaper closure elements. The composite web includes nonwoven web which forms a first outer side of the composite web. On the composite web are disposed spaced-apart, elastically stretchable foil strips. A nonwoven material covers the elastically stretchable foil strips on a second outer side of the composite web. At least one inelastic strip of a hook material bridges a region between two adjacent, elastically stretchable foil strips. The nonwoven material overlaps edges of the strip of hook material. The strip of hook material has projections on the edges thereof that are overlapped by the nonwoven material. The projections extend into the nonwoven material.
