摘要

The present invention relates to a method for cutting discrete fastening elements (15A-15D) out of a web (15) of fastening element material and attaching the cut-out fastening elements to a web (3) of surface layer material. The method comprises the following steps: sequences of four parallel-trapeziform fastening elements (15A-15D) are cut out of a web (15) of fastening element material, after which the first and fourth fastening elements on the one hand and the second and third fastening elements on the other hand are attached to a web (3) of surface layer material so that the first (15A) and fourth (15D) fastening elements on the one hand and the second (15B) and third (15C) fastening elements on the other hand are attached to successive absorbent articles in the process line. The invention also relates to an absorbent article provided with such fastening elements.
