Corrugated And Apertured Web

Abstract

A web having a micro-textured film and a nonwoven is disclosed herein. The micro-textured film has a first surface and an opposing second surface and a plurality of cones extending from the first surface. A plurality of apertures extends through the web, wherein the plurality of apertures have sidewalls formed from the micro-textured film and the nonwoven. The sidewalls extend from the first surface, and wherein the caliper of the micro-textured film in the sidewall is less than the caliper of the microtextured film of the first surface.
