1. A single-pass, in-line process for creating multi-part articles by combining primary substrates in a first continuous web with discrete elements from a second continuous web, comprising steps of:

  • (a) providing a first web which defines primary substrates, said first web having a front surface and a back surface;

    (b) providing a second web which defines a discrete element source material, said second web having a front surface and a back surface;

    (c) pre-cutting said second web to define, but not separate, discrete element portions and a waste portion, said second web remaining intact;

    (d) joining said first and said second webs in aligned relation in a manner which causes selected portions of said discrete element portions to adhere to selected portions of said primary substrates in said first web in a predetermined aligned registration to form multi-part articles; and

    (e) removing said waste portion of said second web from said combined web.
