Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing disposable absorbent articles, typically sanitary napkins or pantiliners, which are individually packaged in a bag or pouch. The articles are directly attached to the wrapper material forming the bag or pouch by means of their panty fastening adhesive. The articles are cut from a continuous layered structure, and the cut is made directly through the layer of panty fastening adhesive applied onto the outer surface of the continuous layered structure. The cutting step is carried out with a cutting implement comprising at least one knife is internally cooled. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the process.
