<p>The present invention provides a process for manufacturing a multi-component product comprising at least two components cut from moving webs of material, registering the components with respect to one another, and depositing the registered components on a web of moving material. The components have respective leading and trailing edges, a longitudinal center line, and a longitudinal center defined by a point midway on said longitudinal center line between said leading and trailing edges. The process comprises the steps of: a) cutting the first workpiece components (53) from a web (51) of first material moving at first speed; b) transferring the cut first workpiece component (53) to overlay a web (61) of a second material moving at a second speed; c) cutting the second workpiece component (63) from the second web (61) while incorporating the overlying cut first workpiece component (53) wholly or partially within the cut boundaries of the second workpiece component (63); and d) transferring the cut and mated first (53) and second (63) workpiece components to a web (71) of third material moving at a third speed. A process for making a multi-component sanitary napkin using the process of the invention is also disclosed.</p> |
