The invention is a contact die for dispensing of flowable material on a
substrate. The contact die includes at least one die block including a
first internal passage. A die lip portion is disposed on the die block
having a lateral dimension. A first plurality of orifices is disposed
through the die lip portion proximate to each other and in communication
with the internal passage to dispense flowable material as a single strip
on the substrate. A first edge is disposed on one lateral side of the
first plurality of orifices to direct the flowable material.
