In a method for manufacturing a belt and a belt for use in the production of bulk tissue and towel, and of nonwoven articles and fabrics, a polymeric resin material is applied onto the surface of a base substrate (12) in a precise predetermined pattern which is to be imparted onto products manufactured with the belt. The polymeric resin material is deposited (14) in droplets having an average diameter of 10 ¦ (10 microns) or more. The polymeric resin material is then set by means (36) appropriate to its composition, and, optionally, may be abraded (44) to provide the belt with a uniform thickness, and a smooth, macroscopically monoplanar surface. |
