Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a paper product, more specifically, a bathroom tissue product having two or more plies with surface features wherein the two or more plies have surface features that have been optimized for improved aesthetics and firmness.
  • Absorbent paper products are well known in the art. Such products may include, for example, sanitary tissue products, facial tissues, paper toweling, bath tissue, napkins, etc. Frequently, these products are provided with textured surfaces or other features to enhance product performance and/or to enhance consumer appeal.
  • Texture may be imparted to the surface of an absorbent paper product in many ways.
  • a textured or patterned belt may be used to form the paper web during the papermaking process.
  • an absorbent paper product may be embossed to provide texture to the surface of a paper product. It is known in the art that consumers prefer paper products having embossments, or other surface features, that are clear and pronounced, but wherein the paper product is also smooth, soft, strong, and a good value. Thus, it is highly desired to provide paper products having clear and pronounced embossments or surface features wherein the paper products also provide, or appear to provide, the benefits of smoothness, softness, strength, and value.
  • this "show through” effect is especially detrimental in a multi-ply paper product having highly pronounced features (such as deep embossments) because in addition to having a negative effect on the appearance and texture of the product, the firmness of the paper product when in roll form may be negatively impacted.
  • surface features of one ply are optimized to compliment the surface features on an adjacent ply, wherein the paper product has clear and pronounced surface features, and exhibits a relatively high level of firmness when in roll form.
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a multi-ply paper product with deep, pronounced, embossments or other surface features, wherein the embossments, or surface features, of one ply of the multi-ply paper product compliment the embossments, or surface features, of an adjacent ply of the paper product.

  • the second ply comprises a plurality of second surface features wherein there are from about 30 second surface features/cm 2 to about 80 second surface features/cm 2 , the second surface features have a surface area of from about 0.03 mm 2 to about 1.2 mm 2 , and the surface features have a height of from about 400 microns to about 1600 microns.
  • the paper product has a firmness of about 10% greater than a comparable paper product having one embossed ply and one unconverted ply in roll form.
