Abstract
A closure tab is provided and includes a first substrate. A second substrate is adhesively attached to the first substrate. The second substrate has mechanical closure material formed thereon. A compression bond pattern is applied to the first substrate and the second substrate. The compression bond pattern includes at least one outwardly extending protrusion. The compression bond pattern may include, for example, circular bond points, stripes, or a decorative element. A method is also provided wherein the second substrate is compressed onto the first substrate by a patterned roller. The second substrate may be compressed onto the first substrate by a plurality of pins spaced in alternating offset rows.
Claims8
A method of forming a closure tab comprising:
- adhesively attaching a first substrate to a second substrate using adhesive, the second substrate having a mechanical closure formed thereon;
- and
- applying a compression bond pattern to the first substrate and the second substrate without a thermal bond, wherein the compression bond pattern defines deformations comprising a portion of the second substrate deformed into each of the adhesive and a portion of the first substrate.
