Combination of refastenable and releasable bonds

摘要

A process for providing a package of prefastened articles includes manufacturing an article having a chassis with an absorbent assembly located between an outer cover and a body side liner. The chassis also includes a first waist region and a second waist region; a refastenable seam joining a first distal portion of the first waist region to a first distal portion of the second waist region; a first refastenable bond connecting the first distal portion of the first waist region and the first distal portion of the second waist region. The first distal portion of the first waist region is folded and bonded to itself with a releasable bond having a first releasable bond peel strength. The first refastenable bond peel strength is greater than the first releasable bond peel strength. The process also includes rupturing the releasable bond and packaging the article.

1. A process for providing a package of prefastened articles comprising:
manufacturing a prefastened article, comprising a chassis including an absorbent assembly located between an outer cover and a body side liner, the chassis also including a first waist region and a second waist region, together defining a waist opening and first and second leg openings; a refastenable seam joining a first distal portion of the first waist region to a first distal portion of the second waist region, and including a first refastenable bond connecting the first distal portion of the first waist region and the first distal portion of the second waist region and having a first refastenable bond peel strength, the first distal portion of the first waist region being folded and bonded to itself with a releasable bond having a first releasable bond peel strength, wherein the first refastenable bond peel strength is greater than the first releasable bond peel strength; rupturing the releasable bond; and packaging the article.
