Claims20
An in-line lamination system comprising
- a film slitter aligned along a machine direction and adapted to receive a sheet of film along the machine direction and form film strips from the sheet of film, the film strips aligned along the machine direction in a series of adjacent lanes,
- a material supply adapted to provide a first substantially continuous web and a second substantially continuous web along the machine direction, and
- a laminator aligned with the film slitter along the machine direction and configured to receive the film strips, the first web, and the second web and bond selectively the film strips in adjacent lanes alternatingly to one of the first web or the second web to form a first laminate sheet and a second laminate sheet, each of the first laminate sheet and the second laminate sheet having alternating sections of exposed material and film material.
