Method for embossing a multi-ply paper product and an embossed multi-ply paper product

摘要

The invention refers to a method for embossing and laminating a multi-ply tissue paper product, wherein first and second webs (1, 2) each comprising at least one ply of tissue paper are separately embossed with a background embossing pattern (10) by first and second embossing rolls (6, 7) in a first embossing station (3) and the first and second webs (1, 2) are subsequently laminated in a tip-to-tip relationship to form a laminated multi-ply web (13). The laminated first and second webs (1, 2) are then embossed with a decorative embossing pattern (18) by a third embossing roll (16) in a second embossing station (15) from only one side of the laminated web against a smooth backing roll (17). The invention further refers to a multi-ply tissue product produced by the method and wherein the thickness of the multi-ply web(11) will be substantially the same in areas that are embossed with the decorative embossing pattern (18) as in areas that are embossed only with the background embossing pattern(10).
