Abstract:
A roll of single-ply tissue exhibiting puffiness and bulk having a serpentine configuration and a plurality of bosses formed therein on the dry web comprising:an array of stitch-shaped bosses forming a lattice of polygonal cells, wherein said stitch shaped bosses are formed in the dry web;each said polygonal cell being centrally filled with a plurality of bosses forming one of a multiplicity of signature emboss patterns comprising at least a first signature emboss pattern and a second signature emboss pattern, said first signature emboss pattern being non-nesting with said second signature emboss pattern,said bosses being arrayed such that one of said first signature emboss patterns nests with another of said first signature emboss patterns at no more than three locations within said roll and one of said second signature emboss patterns nests with another of said second signature emboss patterns at no more than three locations within said roll and said one-ply tissue having a specific total tensile strength of between 40 and 75 grams per 3 inches per pound per 3000 square feet ream, a cross direction specific wet tensile strength of between 2.75 and 7.5 grams per 3 inches per pound per 3000 square feet ream, the ratio of MD tensile to CD tensile of between 1.25 and 2.75, a specific geometric mean tensile stiffness of between 0.5 and 1.2 grams per inch per percent strain per pound per 3000 square feet ream, a friction deviation of less than 0.225, and a sidedness parameter of less than 0.275.
