Abstract:

A disposable face mask includes an upper portion of the face mask and a lower portion of the face mask, the upper portion and lower portion of the face masks each adjoin monolithically formed therewith face mask straps defined by perforations in a web of material used to form the face mask and straps, wherein the perforations allow the straps to be partially separated and utilized for securing said face mask to a wearer's face. The disposable face mask may be made by perforating patterns into a web of materials to define the face mask straps and face mask body that are formed monolithically from the web of materials. The face masks may be wound on a roll for dispensing by tearing off from the roll and then separating the straps at the perforations. Alternatively, the face mask borders may be cut-through to allow dispensing of the face masks individually from bulk packaging, where the face mask is removed from the package and the straps are separated at the perforations to allow the face mask to be secured to the wearer's face by tying the straps behind the wearer's head.
