An absorbent article having a body facing surface; a background color; a first layer, and a second layer is described herein. A portion of the first layer has a first imparted color region. The second layer is in contact with the first layer, and only a portion of the second layer has a second imparted color region. Both the first imparted color region and the second imparted color region are different in color from the background color. Both the first imparted color region and the second imparted color region are visible from the body facing surface. The second imparted color region is visible from the body facing surface and extends laterally beyond the first imparted color region that is visible from the body facing surface.

An inkjet printing ink according to the present disclosure contains a pigment, acrylic particles, an alcohol, and water. The alcohol contains at least a trihydric alcohol. A ratio of an amount of the alcohol to a whole mass of the inkjet printing ink is 30% by mass or less. A ratio of an amount of the acrylic particles to a mass of the pigment is 5% by mass to 100% by mass. Further, the inkjet printing ink has negative skin irritation.

A low migration energy curable ink composition may include, based upon total composition weight: a) from about 10% to about 80% of a solvent system comprising the following: i) from about 35% to about 80% of one or more mono-functional acrylate monomers, ii) from about 10% to about 35% of one or more di-functional acrylate monomers, and iii) from about 10% to about 30% of one or more tri-functional or greater acrylate monomers; b) from about 3% to about 30% of an acrylate oligomer, and c) from about 1% to about 15% of a colorant. The low migration energy curable ink may be incorporated into an absorbent article.

The present disclosure relates to printing graphics onto advancing substrates in diaper converting lines, wherein first graphics having relatively low print resolutions and second graphics having relatively high print resolutions may be both printed onto advancing substrates. During the assembly process, localized speed variances may be imparted to the advancing substrates to achieve the different print resolutions. In some configurations, first graphics with relatively low print resolutions may be printed onto the substrate while advancing at relatively high speeds, and second graphics with relatively high print resolutions may be printed onto portions of the substrate that have been temporarily stopped or slowed to relatively slow speed. The printed substrates may then be incorporated into assembled diapers so as place the graphics in desired positions on the diapers.

Disclosed is an adult disposable absorbent pant having front and rear panels each comprising stretch laminate material. The stretch laminate material may have an inner layer and an outer layer, each formed of nonwoven web material, and a plurality of longitudinally spaced, laterally extending and laterally pre-strained elastic strands therebetween. The plurality of elastic strands in at least one of the front and rear panels has an average longitudinal strand spacing of 2 mm to 6 mm, and imparts a Rugosity Area to the panel. The Rugosity Area bears a pattern of printing, visible from outside the pant. The pattern of printing may be configured to impart a Percent Rugosity Area with a Color Contrast of at least 50 percent, for the panel. The pattern of printing serves to obscure rugosity of the panel.

An absorbent pad including a fluid permeable topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core. The absorbent core has a front portion, a rear portion and an intermediate portion, the front portion, the rear portion and the intermediate portion being of equal lengths, the absorbent core having a width varying no more than 20 mm along its length, wherein the topsheet in a printed central absorption zone, arranged over the front portion, the rear portion and the intermediate portion of the absorbent core, is provided with a first printed pattern including first print elements and the topsheet in a peripheral security zone arranged at least over the rear portion of the absorbent core, is provided with a second printed pattern including second print elements, wherein a degree of coverage of the second printed pattern is at least 30% greater than a degree of coverage of the first printed pattern.

The present disclosure provides an absorbent article wherein it is easy to discern the positioning place from the liquid-permeable sheet side, and it is easy to match the location where the absorbent article should be positioned when it is put on, with the location where it is to be placed on the wearer. The absorbent article of the disclosure has the following construction. The absorbent article (1) comprises a liquid-permeable sheet (3), an absorbent body (5), a colored layer (15) and a liquid-impermeable sheet (17), in that order, and has a lengthwise direction (L), a widthwise direction (W) and a thickness direction (T), the absorbent article (1) comprising an embossed region (29) including a pair of embossed sections (21) disposed in a mutually separated manner and a non-embossed section (27) situated between them, each of the pair of embossed sections (21) having the absorbent body (5) embossed but not having the colored layer (15) embossed, and the non-embossed section (27) not having the absorbent body (5) and colored layer (15) embossed, and in the embossed region (29), thicknesses of the embossed section-forming portions (31) of the absorbent body (5) are smaller than a thickness of a non-embossed section-forming portion (33) of the absorbent body (5).

A method for producing a composite multi-layered absorbent article. At least two of the layers include a colored region.

Methods for manufacturing printed laminates or elastic printed laminates are disclosed. The printed laminates may have a first extensible material and a second extensible material. The first extensible material may have a plurality of repeating graphic sets each having a repeating graphic set length. The first extensible material may have a first strain and the second extensible material may have a second, different strain. The second strain may be constant. The first strain may be variable to correspond to the repeating graphic set lengths to a predetermined laminate pitch. The first and second extensible material may be joined together at a point of joinder. An elastic member, such as a plurality of elastic strands, for example, may be positioned intermediate the first and second extensible materials to form an elastic laminate.

A personal hygiene article includes a chassis with a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent component between the topsheet and the backsheet. At least one portion of the personal hygiene article includes a microporous film having an opaque, microporous region and at least one see-through region of lower porosity within the opaque, microporous region. The microporous film can include a beta-nucleating agent or can have thermally induced phase separation caused by a diluent. A container includes a microporous film enclosing at least one personal hygiene article. The microporous film has an opaque, microporous region and at least one see-through region of lower porosity forming a window within the opaque, microporous region. Methods of making the personal hygiene article and container are also described.
