    摘要: The present invention relates to laminates and to absorbent articles, such as diapers and sanitary napkins, and production methods thereof. Specifically, the present invention is directed to an absorbent article (20) comprising an absorbent core (28) which is covered by a liquid pervious topsheet (24) on the wearer facing side of the core (28) and a liquid impervious backsheet (26) on the garment facing side of the core (28), the liquid impervious backsheet (26) having a longitudinal centerline and a transverse centerline, the transverse centerline defining a front half of the liquid impervious backsheet (26) and a rear half of the liquid impervious backsheet (26), the liquid impervious backsheet (26) also having a garment-facing side and a wearer-facing side, the liquid impervious backsheet (26) comprising at least three layers, a first layer (210) being comprised by the wearer facing side of the liquid impervious backsheet (26) and a second layer (220) being comprised by the garment facing side of the liquid impervious backsheet (26), the first layer (210) comprising a wearer-facing surface and a garment facing surface, the garment facing surface of the first layer (210) of the liquid impervious backsheet (26) comprises at least first indicia (250), said first indicia (250) being present in the front half of the liquid impervious backsheet (26) and said first indicia (250) not being present in the rear half of the liquid impervious backsheet (26), the second layer (220) of the liquid impervious backsheet (26) is provided from a woven or non-woven material, the liquid impervious backsheet (26) comprising a third layer (230) which is provided from a woven or non-woven material and the third layer (230) being comprised by the front half of the backsheet (26) thereby partially but not fully covering the garment facing surface of the second layer (220) of the liquid impervious backsheet (26) and the third layer (230) partially covering said first indicia (250), wherein the second and the third layer (230) in combination are translucent as to allow such that said first indicia (250) comprised by said first layer (210) are visible through said second and third layer (230) when looking at the absorbent article from the garment facing side of liquid impervious backsheet (26). The present invention is also directed to a laminate (200) and to a method of providing a laminate (200) useful as a liquid impermeable backsheet for an absorbent article.
