PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an embossing method and an embossing apparatus capable of preventing adhesion of paper powder to an embossed pattern surface or clogging of a groove constituting an embossed pattern, and capable of facilitating continuous manufacture of sanitary paper and facility maintenance.SOLUTION: In the embossing method, embossing rolls 2 and 4 having grooves 2a and 4a constituting the embossed pattern on the roll outer peripheral surface and rubber rolls 6 and 8 having rubber layers 6a and 8a on the roll outer peripheral surface and pressed to the embossing rolls 2 and 4 are used, base paper 14, 16 is made to pass through the embossing rolls 2 and 4 and the rubber rolls 6 and 8 while rotating and driving the embossing rolls 2 and 4, and thereby, embossing in accordance with the embossed pattern is formed on the base paper 14 and 16. Brush rolls 10 and 12 having brushes 10a and 12a made of a fiber-like material on the roll outer peripheral surface side are rotated and driven at a circumferential speed different from the embossing rolls 2 and 4 in the state of being pressed to the embossing rolls 2 and 4. |
