Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles and methods for assembling absorbent articles with substrates and/or components that include graphics with zones of relatively high print densities and zones of relatively low print densities. In turn, the zones of relatively low print densities may be positioned in regions that are subject to various manufacturing transformations during the assembly process. As such, the graphics may be positioned and/or printed in such a manner so as to reduce noticeable visible results of imprecise and/or inconsistent manufacturing operations performed in areas where the graphics are located.

Abstract: A laminate web having a polymer film layer and a nonwoven layer is disclosed. The polymer film layer makes up a first side of the laminate web and the nonwoven layer makes up a second side of the laminate web. The laminate web has a plurality of first elements extending from the polymer film. The web also has a plurality of second elements formed outwardly from the first side of the laminate web.

Abstract: A laminate web having a polymer film layer and a nonwoven layer is disclosed. The polymer film layer makes up a first side of the laminate web and the nonwoven layer makes up a second side of the laminate web. The laminate web has a plurality of first elements extending from the polymer film. The web also has a plurality of second elements such as recesses, protrusions, apertures, embossing and combinations thereof.

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.

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.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a nonwoven substrate having an ink printed inner side and a non-printed garment facing side and a reactive ink composition printed on the nonwoven substrate on the ink printed inner side, forming an ink printed area, wherein the reactive ink composition comprises a binder.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles with components having graphics including zones of relatively high print densities and zones of relatively low print densities. In particular, substrates and/or components to be incorporated into manufactured absorbent articles include graphics that may be positioned and/or printed in such a manner so as to functionally reduce noticeable visible results of imprecise and/or inconsistent assembly operations performed in areas where the graphics are located.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and at least one elastically elongatable panel joined to the chassis. The elastically elongatable panel includes a stretch laminate that has at least one cover layer and a pre-activated elastomeric film attached to the cover layer, the elastomeric film having two surfaces and a skin on at least one of the surfaces. The skin has a plurality of wrinkles, the wrinkles have hills, and an ink is disposed on at least some of the hills.
