A method for assembling a disposable absorbent article, the method comprising the steps of: providing a chassis having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis, and having a first end region and a longitudinally opposing second end region separated from each other by a central region, the chassis comprising: an outer garment facing surface, an inner wearer facing surface, and an absorbent core disposed between the outer garment facing surface and the inner wearer facing surface, the chassis further comprising a first side edge and a second side edge separated laterally from the first side edge, the chassis comprising a printed chassis substrate comprising a first graphic (Gc) comprising a longitudinal end edge extending longitudinally and adjacent a side edge of the printed chassis substrate, the longitudinal end edge of the first graphic (Gc) comprising a length defined by a distance extending between a first side edge of the first graphic (Gc) and a second side edge of the first graphic (Gc); providing a side panel comprising an outer lateral edge and an inner lateral edge, the side panel comprising a printed panel substrate comprising a second graphic, the second graphic comprising a lateral end edge adjacent a lateral edge of the printed panel substrate, the lateral end edge of the second graphic having a width defined by a distance extending laterally between a first side edge of the second graphic and a second side edge of the second graphic; and combining the first end region of the chassis and the side panel to define a discontinuous region devoid of printing and separating the first graphic (Gc) from the second graphic, the discontinuous region defined by a substantially trapezoidal-shaped perimeter extending between the longitudinal end edge of the first graphic (Gc) and the lateral end edge of the second graphic, defining an imaginary continuous extension of an established direction of the first graphic (Gc) to the second graphic. providing a chassis having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis, and having a first end region and a longitudinally opposing second end region separated from each other by a central region, the chassis comprising: an outer garment facing surface, an inner wearer facing surface, and an absorbent core disposed between the outer garment facing surface and the inner wearer facing surface, the chassis further comprising a first side edge and a second side edge separated laterally from the first side edge, the chassis comprising a printed chassis substrate comprising a first graphic (Gc) comprising a longitudinal end edge extending longitudinally and adjacent a side edge of the printed chassis substrate, the longitudinal end edge of the first graphic (Gc) comprising a length defined by a distance extending between a first side edge of the first graphic (Gc) and a second side edge of the first graphic (Gc); providing a side panel comprising an outer lateral edge and an inner lateral edge, the side panel comprising a printed panel substrate comprising a second graphic, the second graphic comprising a lateral end edge adjacent a lateral edge of the printed panel substrate, the lateral end edge of the second graphic having a width defined by a distance extending laterally between a first side edge of the second graphic and a second side edge of the second graphic; and combining the first end region of the chassis and the side panel to define a discontinuous region devoid of printing and separating the first graphic (Gc) from the second graphic, the discontinuous region defined by a substantially trapezoidal-shaped perimeter extending between the longitudinal end edge of the first graphic (Gc) and the lateral end edge of the second graphic, defining an imaginary continuous extension of an established direction of the first graphic (Gc) to the second graphic.
