Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method of manufacturing tape tabs for use in an absorbent article and to tape tabs made by said method. The method comprises providing a number of curved cuts (56) in a unitary strip of material (52) to form side extensions followed by creasing and folding over of the side extensions. After folding over of the side extensions, the unitary strip of material is cut along transverse cut lines (83) to form individual tape tabs (88). Alternatively, composite tape tabs are formed comprising a release member, by combining the unitary strip of material with a release strip prior to cutting the individual tapes. In one embodiment, the material that is cut from the rounded corner of one tape tab forms the side extension (57) of the neighbouring tape tab, which side extension is doubled over to form a reinforced gripping part. In another embodiment, cut-out sections are formed that are contiguous with the rounded corners of each time two neighbouring tape tabs. The cut-out sections are doubled over. The advantage of the method according to the invention is that no scrap is formed, that a reinforced gripping part is formed which easily detaches from a release surface and that a baby-friendly rounded corner is provided.
