Method of assembly of articles and intermediate created thereby

An intermediate assembly, comprising:

• a first web having a plurality of first elements spaced apart a first distance, where the first web is a planar substrate defining a first plane;
• a second web having a plurality of second elements distinct from the first elements, adjacent second elements having an original pitch between one another on the second web, the original pitch being greater than the first distance;
• three or more planar portions of the second web defining a second plane that is parallel to the first plane, the second elements being located in a planar orientation upon the three or more planar portions of the second web and thus also defining the second plane, extending linearly along the x-axis, in a machine direction;
• intermittent other portions of the second web positioned between each of said plurality of second elements on the three or more planar portions of the second web are displaced relative to the three or more planar portions of the second web in an oblique direction which is not perpendicular to the first and second planes such that the second elements are disposed with a pitch that is less than the original pitch and is equal to the first distance between each of the first elements;
• and the first web disposed over the second web such that the first elements are juxtaposed over the second elements in a one to one relationship and either the first or second elements are RFID chips.
