<p>The invention relates to a method of manufacturing tape tabs (21, 23, 88, 93) for use in disposable absorbent articles (1) such as diapers. The method generally comprises steps of cutting unitary strip material (52, 121) along parallel curved transverse cut lines (56, 120) to produce tab shapes in the strip material (52, 121) having rounded corners (77, 100, 108); doubling over the strip material (52, 121) onto itself to form gripping areas; and cutting the strip material along parallel cut lines (83, 95, 96, 99, 98) which extend from the curved transverse cut lines (56, 120) to the longitudinal edge (60, 119) to form individual tape tabs (21, 23, 88, 93).</p> |
