System for producing pressure sensitive intermediate web assembly having regularly occurring discontinuous segments produced in a continuous fashion

摘要

A continuous manufacturing system is provided for producing an intermediate web assembly having a series of regularly occurring preprinted segments that are disposed on a surface of the web. The segments are initially produced in a sheet form which is prepared by rendering high quality images in discrete areas representative of the portions to be subsequently separated to form the segments. The individual segments are cut from the sheet and then are provided to a placer mechanism that sequentially places the segments individually on the web to create an intermittently laminated web assembly.
