Method of forming a composite web utilizing a rotary bonding system with an anvil pattern

A method of bonding a first web of material to a second web of material, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a first web of material and a second web of material moving in a machine direction;
• (b) providing a first energy application device extending transverse in the cross-machine direction, the first energy application device including a primary bonding pattern and a secondary bonding pattern;
• (c) providing a second energy application device;
• and
• (d) moving the second energy application device in the cross-machine direction, and thereby extending the second energy application device over the first energy application device and operating the first and second energy application devices in combination and thereby applying energy to the first web of material and the second web of material at a line moving progressively across the first web of material and a second web of material to form a composite material, wherein the primary bonding pattern provides non-continuous contact between the first energy application device and the second energy application device in the cross-machine direction and the secondary bonding pattern provides continuous contact between the first energy application device and the second energy application device in the cross-machine direction.
