摘要

A method of manufacturing absorbent articles includes feeding a longitudinal web of web material having openings such that spaced apart, opposing margins of web material are formed between the respective opening and opposing longitudinal edges of the web material; carrying out a folding action of folding the web about itself along its longitudinal direction; carrying out a second folding action of folding at least a portion of the web along its longitudinal direction; after the second folding action, forming a joint in the web, the joint being formed at least in a part of the region in which the opposing margins have been brought together by the second folding action; finally separating the web through the joint to separate an individual absorbent article from the end of the web.
