Abstract:
1. A roll of tissue product comprising a plurality of sheets of tissue, each sheet separated from the others by lines of perforation, wherein: a. the tail of the roll of tissue product has a distal portion spaced away from the remainder of the roll, a proximal portion adjoining the remainder of the roll and a medial portion in-between; b. the distal portion of the tail being transversely folded, thereby forming a transverse fold and a folded tail tab extending across the tail; c. an adhesive bond extending over an area overlapping the distal edge of the tail adhering the distal and proximal portions of the tail to the next interior sheet of tissue inwardly adjacent thereto; d. said adhesive bond penetrating through both the distal portion of the tail and the proximal portion of the tail; e. the area over which said adhesive bond extends neither spanning nor adjoining a line of perforation joining sheets in the initial four sheets of the roll of tissue product; and f. the medial portion of the tail comprises the folded tail tab, the folded tail tab having a dry tensile strength of at least 1½ times the strength of the adhesive bond adhering the distal and proximal portions of the tail to the next interior sheet of tissue inwardly adjacent thereto.
