Abstract
Articles on flexible webs with different pitches are assembled together by displacing portions between articles of one web out of plane to move the articles on that web to the same pitch as the other web, aligning the two webs to register corresponding articles on the two webs, and assembling the corresponding articles together. The assembly may be used for example in the making of RFID tags, labels and inlays.
Claims12
An intermediate product formed by a process comprising the steps of:
- selecting a first planar substrate with a plurality of first articles disposed on the first planar substrate at a first spacing;
- selecting a second planar substrate with a plurality of second articles disposed on the second planar substrate at a second spacing;
- displacing portions of the first planar substrate in a direction transverse to the machine direction to draw the first spacing to the second spacing;
- and
- attaching the first article to the second article.
