Abstract
A pressure-sensitive tape substrate is coated with an adhesive, and the adhesive is then printed with an ink or the like that acts as an adhesive-inhibiting masking or barrier along one or more continuous zones or lines. Tapes are formed in whole or in part by slitting along the continuous line or lines so defined. The technique is used to make transfer tapes, diaper fastener tabs, and other products.
