摘要

A process ( 100 ) for forming an article ( 20 ) includes delivering an article web ( 120 ) which provides an interconnected plurality of article-segments ( 104 ). At least one selected article-segment ( 104 ) can include at least one wing-panel component or member ( 142 ), which has been operatively joined to its corresponding, selected article-segment ( 104 ) and configured to extend beyond at least one laterally-opposed side edge of said article web ( 120 ) in an intermediate portion ( 76 ) of the corresponding article-segment ( 104 ). The process ( 100 ) can also include a substantially continuous severing of the article web ( 120 ) and the at least one wing-panel member ( 142 ) to provide a contoured composite web. The contoured composite web can include at least one contoured wing-panel ( 142 ). In addition, a contoured side-edge ( 64 ) of the contoured wing-panel ( 142 ) can be configured to extend substantially continuously from a cooperatively contoured side-edge ( 74 ) of the article web.
