Diaper tab stock comprises a unitary substrate extending, transversely to machine direction, along first and second endward length portions separated by a third intermediate length portion, with adhesive on its topside at the first endward length portion, on its bottom side at the second endward length portion, and on neither side at the third intermediate length portion which separates the other two. A release coating on the bottom side of the first length portion extends partly onto the intermediate third length portion but stops short of the second length portion. In a preferred method of manufacture and use, a release coating on the top side of the second length portion serves as a releasing support both for the adhesive which ends up on the bottom side of the second length portion and then for the adhesive on the first length portion when the first length portion is folded onto the second length portion.

A web construction of reclosable tab stock, particularly suited to low cost production and to high speed dispensing on automatic equipment by diaper manufacturers, but usable in other applications, has three substrates, one over the other, and each of which extends, transversely to machine direction and along its entire transverse length, substantially flatly and without folds.
