An apparatus for embossing a pattern into absorbent articles such as sanitar y napkins, panty liners, diapers, and adult incontinence pads is disclosed. Th e apparatus for forming a pattern of embossments in an absorbent article comprises an embosser assembly (50) having a patterned die roll (52) and an anvil roll (54). In one embodiment, the anvil roll (54) comprises a multi- layered structure, that comprises a metal hub, encircled by a compressible layer and enclosed by a sleeve which reduces machine dynamics, such as vibration, associated with the embossing apparatus and significantly improve s the embossing line process and quality. The embosser assembly (50) also has a mechanism for applying compressive pressure on the components of an absorben t article when the components are placed between the die roll (52) and the anv il roll (54).
