The invention relates to a device and a method for producing packaging material from two paper webs, wherein shaped regions are created from at least one of the paper webs, the shaped regions projecting beyond the paper web and each being limited by a closed circumferential line in the paper web plane, and the paper webs, at their ends facing each other, consist exclusively of paper and are free of adhesive and connecting synthetic auxiliary material, in particular free of plastics film, and preferably after preconditioning of the paper webs are pressed against each other in such a way that, in connecting portions between the shaped regions, paper fibers of the one paper web are connected to paper fibers of the other paper web and the paper webs limit closed cavities in the region of the shaped regions.

A main object of the present technique is to provide a hollow-structure plate that is easy to process while retaining compressive strength. According to the present technique, there is provided a hollow-structure plate in which a surface material and/or a skin material are laminated to at least one surface of a hollow convex portion-formed sheet made from one or two thermoplastic resin sheets with a plurality of hollow convex portions on at least one surface, and at least part of a side wall of the convex portion has a bending radius R of 0.75 to 20 mm.

The embossing device includesa first path for a first ply of web material; along the first path, a first embossing roller provided with embossing protrusions; a first heating device associated with the first embossing roller to heat the surface of the first embossing roller; at least a first functional roller adapted to perform an action on a ply of web material. The first functional roller is provided with a rotation arrangement, adapted to keep the first functional roller in rotation during a temporary stoppage of the embossing device, with the first functional roller spaced from the first embossing roller and with the first ply of web material stationary in the first path.

A laminate with a fibrous nonwoven web first layer (20) bonded to a second layer (40) by way of a plurality of first layer embossments is disclosed. The first layer (20) further includes a plurality of apertures and an air gap between the first layer (20) and second layer (40). The laminate is well-suited for a wide variety of uses and in particular as a top sheet or liner material for absorbent articles such as, for example, diapers, training pants, feminine hygiene products, incontinence devices and wipes. Also disclosed is a process for forming such a laminate.

Provided are a composite sheet whose recess-protrusion shape can easily be made crush-resistant in a state that the soft feel against the skin is maintained, and a device and method for manufacturing said composite sheet. A first sheet has a curved part in which one surface thereof rises and the other surface thereof is recessed, and a boundary part adjacent to the curved part. A second sheet is joined to the boundary part of the first sheet so as to cover the other surface of the curved part. A region of the second sheet facing the curved part has a protruding part in which an inside surface on the first sheet side rises so as to approach the curved part and an outside surface on the reverse side thereof is recessed, and a flat part surrounding the periphery of the protruding part.

Fabrics having a desirable softness and exhibiting a low lint level are provided. The fabrics include an embossed bonding pattern, in which the embossed bonding pattern includes a plurality of icons (e.g., geometric shapes, caricatures, etc.). The plurality of icons may be defined by a plurality of perimeter bonding points. Additionally, from 1 to about 10 internal bonding points may be located within at least one of the plurality of icons.

Disclosed is a tissue paper product including at least three plies with a top ply and bottom ply as outermost plies, and an inner ply between the top and bottom plies, a basis weight of the tissue paper product being 30-150. The top ply being embossed with at least two types of embossments including first embossments with a first height and second embossments with a second height, the first height being larger than the second height, and the bottom ply is embossed, the inner ply and the top ply being bonded with the bottom ply at tips of the first embossments with an adhesive, such as a lamination glue, or the inner ply, the top ply, and the bottom ply are ply-bonded with mechanical bonding, at least one of the top ply and the bottom ply being embossed by a heated embossing roll.
