<p>A papermaker's fabric is manufactured by spirally winding a laminated structure (16) in a plurality of turns. The laminated structure has a bottom layer (36) and a top layer (34), both of which are strips having a common width. The bottom layer (36) and the top layer (34) are laminated to one another in a transversely offset manner, so that an unlaminated portion of the bottom layer (36) is along one lateral edge of the laminated structure and an unlaminated portion of the top layer (34) is along the other lateral edge. When the laminated structure is spirally wound, the unlaminated portion of the top layer in one turn overlies the unlaminated portion of the bottom layer in an adjacent turn. These are joined to one another to form the papermaker's fabric from the spirally wound structure.</p> |
