摘要:
A sanitary napkin or similar absorbent article is manufactured by attaching an adhesive transfer layer (ATL) 32 to a web of shell material 30 to form a first composite web which is cut into discrete panels 55. An absorbent component 40 is attached to the panels to form a second composite web 53 which is then cut into absorbent articles. Preferably, the shell material is unwound onto a vacuum conveyor 56 and maintained under little or no tension. The adhesive transfer layer may be supplied as a longitudinal web which is cut into sections which are then rotated through 90° before being attached to the shell. The ATL may have a peel strip overhanging its lateral edges; the rotation orients these so they function as finger tabs for a user. Also disclosed are methods involving attaching a component to a deadened, or unstretched, or nonactivated or nonelastic zone of a shell.
