A method for continuously manufacturing aerosol generating articles (1, 2) comprises: (i) providing a continuous web (34) or a continuous strip (218) of an aerosol generating substrate (10) having a substantially flat surface; (ii) providing a continuous web (40) of susceptor material; (iii) intermittently applying an adhesive (47) to a surface of the continuous web (40) of susceptor material to form adhesive areas (60) on the surface; (iv) continuously cutting the continuous web (40) of susceptor material at positions between the adhesive areas (60) to form at least one susceptor patch (28); (v) adhering the susceptor patch (28) to the substantially flat surface of the continuous web (34) or the continuous strip (218) of aerosol generating substrate (10); and (vi) forming the continuous web (34) or the continuous strip (218) of aerosol generating substrate (10) and the at least one susceptor patch (28) adhered to the surface thereof into a continuous rod (88). Un procédé de fabrication continue d'articles de génération d'aérosol (1, 2) comprend : (i) fournir une feuille continue (34) ou une bande continue (218) d'un substrat de génération d'aérosol (10) ayant une surface sensiblement plate ; (ii) fournir une feuille continue (40) de matériau suscepteur ; (iii) appliquer de manière intermittente un adhésif (47) sur une surface de la feuille continue (40) de matériau suscepteur pour former des zones adhésives (60) sur la surface ; (iv) couper de manière continue la feuille continue (40) de matériau suscepteur à des emplacements entre les zones adhésives pour former au moins un patch suscepteur (28) ; (v) faire adhérer le patch suscepteur (28) à la surface sensiblement plate de la feuille continue (34) ou de la bande continue (218) de substrat de génération d'aérosol (10) ; et (vi) former la feuille continue (34) ou la bande continue (218) de substrat de génération d'aérosol (10) et ledit patch suscepteur (28) collé à sa surface en une tige continue (88).
