Abstract: A method for the manufacture of angled tape tabs for use with disposable absorbent articles. The first step is to provide an adhesive coated substrate having a first centerline and a second centerline perpendicular to the first centerline. A release substrate having a release surface and an adhesive surface is contacted with the adhesive coated substrate and partially covers the adhesive coated substrate to form a laminate. The laminate is then cut at an angle to the first centerline to form individual angled tape tabs. Each angled tape tab has a fixed end and a refastenable end. The fixed end of the angled tape tab is then secured to an absorbent article.
