A method and associated system for cutting and placing individual nose wires in a face mask manufacturing line includes supplying a continuous wire from a source to a cutting station, where the continuous wire is predetermined. Cut into individual nose wires having lengths. The nose wire is then transported to the processing station before being placed on the carrier web. At the processing station, the surface of the nose wire facing the carrier web is surface treated, thereby increasing the surface adhesion of the nose wire to the carrier web. [Selection] Figure 5
