A method of producing basic starting material for the manufacture of fastener tabs (31) intended for joining the side portions of the front and rear parts of an absorbent article that includes a front part, a rear part and an intermediate crotch part, so as to give the article a pants-like configuration. According to the invention the method comprises the steps of stretching a first sheet (1) of elastic material in a first direction (T); applying a second and a third sheet of material (9, 10) onto respective opposite sides of the first sheet; fastening the three material sheets together in at least two mutually separated zones (14, 15) that extend parallel with each other in one direction (M) perpendicular to said first direction; dividing the first sheet (1) in each region between two zones (14, 15) along a line that lies between said zones, wherewith the first sheet in each region (16) between two zones (14, 15) contracts to a non-stretched state, and thereafter fastening the sheets together in each regions (16) between two zones (14, 15). The invention also relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method, to starting material for producing fastener tabs, and to such a tab. |
