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.

The invention claimed is: 1. A contact die-coated substrate comprising: a first planar side; at least three strips of a flowable material, wherein each strip consists essentially of compositionally the same flowable material and has a substantially constant cross-sectional profile and edges substantially perpendicular to the substrate disposed on the first planar side, wherein each strip of flowable material has less than a 5 percent variance across the cross-sectional profile; and wherein less than 65 percent of the substrate is covered by the at least three strips of the flowable material. 2. The contact die-coated substrate of claim 1, wherein the substrate and each strip of the flowable material each exhibit a thickness in a direction substantially perpendicular to the substrate disposed on the first planar side, and wherein each strip thickness is at least as large as the substrate thickness. 3. The contact die-coated substrate of claim 1, wherein each strip of the flowable material exhibits a width defined between the edges of the each strip, and wherein the width of each strip of the flowable material is greater than a distance between an edge of each strip and an edge of an adjacent strip of the flowable material. 4. A coated substrate comprising: a substrate having a first planar side; at least three rectangular three dimensional strips of flowable material applied to the substrate on the first planar side, each strip having a substantially constant rectangular cross-sectional profile and edges substantially perpendicular to the substrate disposed on the first planar side, wherein each strip has less than a 5 percent variance across the rectangular cross-sectional profile; and wherein no more than 35 percent of the substrate is covered by the at least three strips.
