A toilet tissue and method of manufacture using three plys, where the first two layers are embossed and the last two layers are micro-embossed and all three layers are glued together

摘要

A roll of three ply toilet tissue (10) is disclosed. The toilet tissue (10) comprises a plurality of sheets each sheet comprising an outer or top layer (12) of tissue paper to which a second central ply (14) is embossed (18). The second ply is micro-quilted prior to the embossing step. The bottom or third ply (16) is also micro-quilted. The outer layer (12) provides a relatively strong outer surface. The embossing of that top layer (12) to the central layer (14) traps air between the two layers and assists in the central micro-quilted layer (14) retaining its increased thickness. The third layer (16) adds further thickness to the sheet and is not embossed. The sheet (10) is thicker and softer than a conventional three ply tissue sheet.
