Assembled Absorbent Article Components with Graphics Having Aligned Low Intensity Zones

摘要

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles with components having graphics including zones of relatively high print densities and zones of relatively low print densities. In particular, substrates and/or components to be incorporated into manufactured absorbent articles include graphics that may be positioned and/or printed in such a manner so as to functionally reduce noticeable visible results of imprecise and/or inconsistent assembly operations performed in areas where the graphics are located.

主权项

1. An absorbent article comprising:
a first elastic belt extending laterally from a first longitudinal side edge to a second longitudinal side edge, and extending longitudinally from an outer lateral end edge to an inner lateral end edge, the first elastic belt further comprising a first end region and a laterally opposing second end region separated from each other by a central region; a second elastic belt extending laterally from a first longitudinal side edge to a second longitudinal side edge, and extending longitudinally from an outer lateral end edge to an inner lateral end edge, the second elastic belt further comprising a first end region and a laterally opposing second end region separated from each other by a central region; a chassis comprising, a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, the chassis further comprising a first waist region and a second waist region separated from each other by a crotch region, wherein the first waist region is connected with the central region of the first elastic belt and the second waist region is connected with the central region of the second elastic belt; a first graphic on the first elastic belt, the first graphic comprising a first zone comprising a first maximum print density and a second zone comprising a second maximum print density, wherein the second maximum print density is less than or equal to about 30% of the first maximum print density, wherein the second zone extends from the first zone to the first longitudinal side edge of the first elastic belt; a second graphic on the second elastic belt, the second graphic comprising a first zone comprising a first maximum print density and a second zone comprising a second maximum print density, wherein the second maximum print density is less than or equal to about 30% of the first maximum print density, wherein the second zone extends from the first zone to the first longitudinal side edge of the second elastic belt; and wherein the first end region of the first elastic belt is connected with the first end region of the second elastic belt such that the second zone of the first graphic is aligned with the second zone of the second graphic to form a contiguous design.
