Abstract

A method and apparatus for extruding a film, a tape and a closure device simultaneously to produce integrated interlocking closure stock comprising (a) extruding a sheet of film onto a rotating casting roll at a rate to provide a high draw-down ratio; (b) extruding a tape to join the film on the casting roll at a rate to provide a medium draw-down ratio; and (c) extruding a closure device onto the tape as it approaches the casting roll at a rate to provide a small draw-down ratio.
