First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fastener tab defining a first end, a second end opposite from the first end, a first face extending between the first end and the second end, and a second face oppositely directed from the first face and extending between the first end and the second end, the fastener tab comprising: a region of exposed pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the first face of the tab; a plurality of hook members disposed on the first face of the tab; and a plurality of loop members disposed on the second face of the tab, the loop members provided by a spunlace nonwoven material. 2. The fastener tab of claim 1 wherein the spunlace material comprises at least one fiber selected from the group consisting of polyolefin fibers, polyester fibers, and combinations thereof. 3. The fastener tab of claim 2 wherein the polyolefin fibers are polypropylene fibers. 4. The fastener tab of claim 1 wherein the spunlace material is free of melt bonded intersections. 5. The fastener tab of claim 1 wherein the region of pressure sensitive adhesive is a first region of adhesive, the fastener tab further comprising: a second region of pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the first face of the tab. 6. The fastener tab of claim 1 wherein the spunlace material has a basis weight of from about 15 gsm to about 60 gsm. 7.
