Why do paper towels need embossing? You may not know thes benefit!

Have you ever observed the tissue in your hand?

Some tissues have two shallow indentations on both sides, and handkerchiefs have delicate patterns or brand logos on the four sides; some toilet papers are embossed on the whole sheet, with uneven surfaces; some toilet papers have no embossing at all, and they separate when pulled out.

Why are tissues embossed?

1. The role of paper towel embossing:

The main function of paper towels is cleaning, which requires paper towels to have a certain water absorption and friction, especially kitchen paper. Therefore, compared with tissue paper and roll paper, embossing is more common in kitchen paper.

Paper towels are often made of two or three layers of paper pressed together. After embossing, the original flat surface becomes uneven, forming multiple small grooves, which can better absorb and store water. The surface of the paper towel after embossing is rougher, which can increase friction and adhesion. The surface contact area of the paper towel after embossing is also larger, which can better absorb dust and grease.

Unembossed paper towels are easy to delaminate and produce more paper scraps when used. The embossed design solves this problem well. By squeezing the surface of the paper towel vigorously, it forms a structure similar to mortise and tenon joints, and the concave and convex surfaces are nested with each other, which can make the paper towel tighter and less likely to loosen, and it is not easy to break when exposed to water.

The relief-like patterns on the paper towels also greatly enhance the three-dimensional sense and artistry, better highlight the brand characteristics, and deepen consumers' impression of the product.

Embossed can also make air gather in places that are not pressed, forming small bubbles, increasing the fluffiness of the paper and making the paper softer and more comfortable
