Abstract
Elasticated materials and methods of forming elasticated materials are disclosed. In one embodiment, an elasticated material may comprise a first layer of material, a second layer of material bonded to the first layer of material by a plurality of bonds arranged in bond groupings aligned in bond grouping rows, and an elastomeric strand extending in the lateral direction and disposed between the first layer and the second layer, the elastomeric strand extending between a first bond and a second bond of a first bond grouping with the first bond and the second bond of the first bond grouping being spaced apart in the longitudinal direction a distance less than an un-tensioned diameter of the elastomeric strand. A portion of a second bond grouping may laterally overlap the first bond grouping with the second bond grouping disposed row that is longitudinally adjacent to the row containing the first bond grouping.
