Abstract: A flexible film, and articles comprising the film, comprises interleaved pluralities of each of first bands and second bands disposed adjacent to the first bands. Both the first and second bands have a length and a width; the first bands comprise a first film basis weight and first and second regions. The first regions and second regions being comprised of the same material composition. The first regions undergo a substantially molecular-level deformation and the second regions initially undergo a substantially geometric deformation when the sheet material is subjected to an applied elongation along at least one axis. The second bands comprise a second film basis weight and a plurality of corrugations disposed along the length of the band. In this aspect the material may be described as having alternating bands of structural-elastic-like film and ring-rolled film.

Abstract: A substrate and consumer products made therefrom are provided. The substrate includes a surface and a water-soluble polymer zone disposed on and in contact with the surface. The water-soluble polymer zone includes a freshening active, a water-soluble, film-forming polymer, and a surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to film web substrates and more particularly to such web substrates wherein the inherent elongation properties of a given web material are modified. An exemplary web material is formed from first and second precursor webs. A first side of the web material is formed from the first precursor web and integral extensions of the second precursor web that extend through the first precursor web.
