  • Publication number: 20210369511
    Abstract: An absorbent article comprises a topsheet, backsheet, and absorbent core positioned intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, and an outer cover nonwoven material. The outer cover nonwoven material comprises a first surface, a second surface, and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface and/or the second surface. At least some of the three-dimensional features each comprise a first region and a second region. The first regions have a first value of an average intensive property. The second regions have a second, different value of the average intensive property. A garment-facing side of the backsheet comprises one or more visually vibrant graphics. A portion of the visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features overlaps a portion of the one or more visually vibrant graphics. The portion of the one or more visually vibrant graphics exhibits a chroma value greater than 8.

  • Patent number: 10500106
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles and methods for assembling absorbent articles having a design including: a first graphic extending along a first component, a second graphic extending along a second component, and a discontinuous region separating the first graphic from the second graphic. The discontinuous region is configured to provide the appearance that the first and second graphics form a contiguous design while at the same time mitigating the need to precisely align the graphics on separated components to form a contiguous design during the assembly process.

  • Publication number: 20160302976
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles and methods for assembling absorbent articles having a design including: a first graphic printed on a first component and a second graphic printed on a second component. During the assembly process, the first and second components are combined to form a discontinuous region devoid of printing and separating the first graphic from the second graphic. The discontinuous region extends between an end edge of the first graphic and an end edge of the second graphic and defines an imaginary continuous extension of an established direction of the first graphic to the second graphic. Thus, the discontinuous region helps to provide the appearance that the first and second graphics form a contiguous design while at the same time mitigating the need to precisely align the graphics on separated components to form a contiguous design during the assembly process.
