METHOD FOR FABRICATING ABSORBENT ARTICLES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for fabricating absorbent article having multiple layers, and deformed zones of targeted performance, and colored regions, the method comprising the steps of forming discrete features on at least one layer, printing colored regions on at least one layer, integrating multiple layers to form an absorbent assembly, and cutting the absorbent assembly into individual absorbent articles, wherein the steps are carried out continuously.

主权项

1. A method for fabricating an absorbent article, the absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet comprising a first layer, a second layer, and a plurality of first discrete features; a colored sheet comprising a colored sheet web having a first colored region; and a liquid impermeable backsheet comprising a backsheet web, the absorbent article having a body-facing surface comprising the first layer and a garment-facing surface positioned opposite to the body-facing surface, the method comprising the steps of:
a) supplying the second layer onto the first layer to form a composite of the first layer and the second layer; b) forming the plurality of first discrete features on the composite of the first layer and the second layer to form a deformed composite; c) supplying the colored sheet web having the first colored region onto the second layer side of the deformed composite, and integrating the deformed composite and the colored sheet web to form an integrated composite; d) supplying the backsheet web onto the colored sheet web side of the integrated composite, and integrating the integrated composite and the backsheet web to form an absorbent article assembly; and e) severing the absorbent article assembly into individual absorbent articles, wherein the absorbent article has a background region, wherein the background region and the first colored region are viewable from the body facing surface, and wherein the first colored region differs in color from the background region.
