METHOD FOR EMBOSSING A MULTI-PLY PAPER PRODUCT AND AN EMBOSSED MULTI-PLY PAPER PRODUCT

摘要

A method for embossing and laminating a multi-ply tissue paper product, wherein first and second webs each including at least one ply of tissue paper are separately embossed with a background embossing pattern by first and second embossing rolls in a first embossing station and the first and second webs are subsequently laminated in a tip-to-tip relationship to form a laminated multi-ply web. The laminated first and second webs are then embossed with a decorative embossing pattern by a third embossing roll in a second embossing station from only one side of the laminated web against a smooth backing roll. A multi-ply tissue product produced by the method and wherein the thickness of the multi-ply web will be substantially the same in areas that are embossed with the decorative embossing pattern as in areas that are embossed only with the background embossing pattern.
