ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING VISIBLE INDICIA AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A multiple layer laminate and method of manufacturing the same having visible indicia for use in an absorbent article includes a first outer layer, a second outer layer, an elastomeric film interposed between said first outer layer and said second outer layer and a non-elastomeric applique having the indicia, The non-elastomeric applique is interposed between the elastomeric film and the first outer layer or between the elastomeric film and the second outer layer. The non-elastomeric applique is coupled to the elastomeric film in a stretched condition such that the non-elastomeric applique limits the retraction of the elastomeric film from the stretched condition in a location where the non-elastomeric applique is coupled to the elastomeric film, wherein the indicia is positioned to be visible through the first outer layer, the second outer layer or the first and the second outer layers.
