A web for use in applying a functional material is provided. The web
includes a layer that has a plurality of elevated regions. The layer
defines a plurality of cavities such that the cavities are located
between adjacent elevated regions. A plurality of depressed regions are
located on the layer intermediate the elevated regions. The layer has a
longitudinal direction and a longitudinal mid-plane defined therethrough.
A plurality of functional material members are located in the cavities of
the layer. The functional material members are adapted for adhesion of
particles or surfaces thereon. The layer is extendable in the
longitudinal direction so that the elevated regions are moved in a
direction towards the longitudinal mid-plane.
