  • Publication number: 20150083310
    Abstract: A method for producing a textured laminate structure is disclosed. The method may include the steps of forming a first bonded nonwoven material of polymeric fibers constituting a first layer, creating a pattern of apertures through the first bonded nonwoven material, and following the aperture pattern creating step, discontinuously bonding the first layer to a second layer. The method may also include disposing one or more elastic members between the first and second layers prior to the bonding step. The one or more elastic members may be disposed between the layers while in a strained condition. The resulting structure provides a stretch laminate with tactilely and visually interesting features, and may be used to form components of a disposable absorbent article such as a side panel thereof.

  • Publication number: 20150088088
    Abstract: A textured laminate structure and absorbent articles having a component formed of the textured laminate structure are disclosed. The textured laminate structure may have a first layer formed of a nonwoven web having a preexisting pattern of first apertures therethrough, a second layer, and one or more elastic members disposed between the first and second layers in a prestrained condition. The laminate structure may be discontinuously joined or bonded such that the first layer is joined or bonded to the structure in first portions and unjoined or unbonded to the structure in second portions. The structure provides a stretch laminate with tactilely and visually interesting features, and may be used to form components of a disposable absorbent article such as a side panel thereof.
