Abstract
The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles and methods for assembling absorbent articles having a design including: a first graphic extending along a first component, a second graphic extending along a second component, and a discontinuous region separating the first graphic from the second graphic. The discontinuous region is configured to provide the appearance that the first and second graphics form a contiguous design while at the same time mitigating the need to precisely align the graphics on separated components to form a contiguous design during the assembly process.
