These devices vary greatly and include stich-bonding machines and seamless bonding machines. The former utilize warp-knitting to stich-bond base materials like yarn layers, non-woven fabrics, or base material webs. The latter use adhesive tape that is heated and melted to bond fabrics together. ]]></note></mads>
