A papermaking press fabric is manufactured by attaching a strip (40) of top laminate layer material to a base fabric (20) using a heat-activated adhesive film (42) which is bonded to one side of the material so as to form a multi-component strip (30). The top laminate layer material may be a woven fabric, nonwoven mesh, or thermoplastic sheet material. The strip (30) is spiralled onto the outer surface (22) of the base fabric (20) with the heat-activated adhesive film (42) against the outer surface (22) and bonded thereto with heat and pressure. The portions of the multi-component strip (30) overhanging the lateral edges (24, 26) of the base fabric (20) are then trimmed, and a staple fiber batt is needled into and through the top laminate layer to attach it firmly to the base fabric (20). <IMAGE> |
