forming a plurality of segments of a release liner material on the moving web, wherein the segments of the release liner material are separated by gaps; forming a plurality of separate continuous bands of an elastic material over the plurality of segments and gaps; bonding each continuous band to the moving web at the gaps to form bond zones; and forming a plurality of lines of separation, wherein each line of separation intersects at least one of the bond zones, thereby defining the plurality of labeling articles, wherein each of the defined labeling articles extends across at least one of the plurality of segments of at least one of the plurality of formed continuous bands. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the web includes a first major surface and a second opposing major surface, wherein the plurality of segments are formed on the first major surface, and wherein the method further includes applying indicia to the second major surface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein applying indicia to the second major surface includes printing the indicia. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein applying indicia to the second major surface includes embedding the indicia in the web. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2 wherein the plurality of segments of the release liner material are formed as a plurality of stripes, each stripe corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of separate continuous bands of the elastic material. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein forming the plurality of stripes includes forming two stripes. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein a combined surface area of the formed plurality of stripes is less than about 50% of a surface area of the web. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein a combined surface area of the formed plurality of stripes is less than about 25% of a surface area of the web. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein forming lines of separation includes perforating the web. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein forming lines of separation includes die-cutting the web. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein bonding each continuous band to the moving web at the gaps includes using adhesive. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein forming a plurality of separate continuous bands of the elastic material includes depositing molten elastic material onto the plurality of segments and gaps. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the web includes a first major surface and a second opposing major surface, wherein the plurality of segments are formed on the first major surface, and wherein the method further includes applying indicia to the first major surface. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein applying indicia to the first major surface includes applying the indicia to at least one of the plurality of separate continuous bands of the elastic material. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further including kiss-cutting the elastomer material over at least one of the plurality of segments. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, including forming the plurality of lines of separation in a direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, including forming the plurality of lines of separation in a non-linear configuration. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, including forming the plurality of lines of separation in a curved configuration. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein forming the plurality of lines of separation defines a waste area between two adjacent labeling articles. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein a plurality of said waste areas are continuously bonded together.
