The present invention relates to an absorbent article comprising a liquid impervious backsheet formed from a laminate. The liquid impervious backsheet may include at least three layers, a first layer forming the wearer facing side of the backsheet, a second layer forming the garment facing side of the backsheet, and a third layer partially but not fully covering the garment facing surface of the second layer. The first layer may include at least one first indicium on a garment-facing surface thereof and only present on a front half of the backsheet, the at least one first indicium being visible through said second and third layers when looking at the absorbent article from the garment facing side of backsheet.

Laminate with indicia for an absorbent article

The invention relates to laminates, absorbent articles and production methods thereof. An absorbent article includes a liquid impervious backsheet having a first layer forming the wearer facing side of the backsheet, a second layer forming the garment facing side of the backsheet. The first layer has a wearer-facing surface and a garment facing surface and the garment facing surface includes at least first indicia present in the front half but not in the rear half of the backsheet backsheet. The backsheet includes a third layer on the front half of the backsheet and that covers partially but not fully the garment facing surface of the second layer and the first indicia. The second and the third layers are translucent in order for the first indicia to be visible through the second and third layers when looking at the absorbent article from the garment facing side of the backsheet.

A method of producing an absorbent article, including: metering particles at a predetermined flow rate to form a metered particle stream; carrying the metered particle stream in a carrier flow to form a carried particle stream; pulsing the carried particle stream to form a pulsed particle stream; and transferring a pulse from the pulsed particle stream onto a forming surface of the absorbent article.
