the present invention is directed to a method for making a graphically - printed component for an absorbent disposable article . the method comprises providing a molten polymer by feeding polymer chips into an extruder and melting the polymer chips . the molten polymer is extruded in the form of a thermoplastic polymer film onto a provided nonwoven fabric in an in - line process , in which the film has a basis weight of about 10 gsm , to provide a backsheet comprising the film and the nonwoven fabric . the backsheet on the film is graphically printed with printing means to provide a graphically printed backsheet . the graphically printed back sheet is wound into a roll good , or an absorbent core is positioned between it and a liquid permeable topsheet to provide an absorbent disposable article .
