REGIONALLY IMPRINTED NONWOVEN FABRIC

摘要

The present invention is directed to a nonwoven fabric, and more specifically to a nonwoven fabric comprised of at least one foreground region and at least one background region, wherein the foreground region of the fabric is an extension of the background region of the fabric in the z-direction and imparted with an enhanced physical and/or aesthetic performance which is dissimilar to a performance that may be imparted within the background region. The foreground region is further characterized in that such region may extend away from the background region so that a continuous or discontinuous path is described. Further still, the foreground and background regions may be of similar or dissimilar basis weights.
