Abstract:
An apparatus (1) and method for producing embossed paper or laminated metallic foil sheets (55) comprising means for feeding an elongate strip (20) of paper or laminated metallic foil, a pair of matched embossing rollers (5, 10) disposed to receive such a strip from the feeding means, and means for receiving such a strip from the embossing rollers after being embossed thereby, and for cutting such strip into sheets. The rollers have a plurality of embossing sectors (75) arranged on the surface thereof. At least one of the sectors imparts a first embossing, and at least another of the sectors imparts an alternate embossing different in appearance from the first embossing. The sectors are dimensioned similarly to the foil sheets. At least one group of the sheets carry the first embossing while at least another group of the sheets carry the alternate embossing.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for manufacturing a hygiene paper product includes: providing a continuous paper web, moving the continuous web in the direction of its longitudinal extension, applying a repetitive creative structure relative to the longitudinal extension of the web as a first pattern to the web with a first roll, applying a repetitive functional structure relative to the longitudinal extension of the web as a second pattern to the web with a second roll, while enabling the first pattern to be in register with the second pattern by concurrently controlling the repetitive surface speed of continuous web and the phasing between the first roll and the second roll.

Abstract:
A method and work material for making embossed blanks for sample packages and other free-standing three dimensional display items from a sheet-type work material includes a printer for printing a graphic image on the work material, and a processing mechanism for performing work operations on the work material. The sheet-type work material has a top layer of sheet material, an intermediate layer of sheet material, and a carrier layer of sheet material, with a first layer of adhesive material bonding the top and intermediate layers of sheet material together, and a second layer of adhesive material bonding the intermediate and carrier layers of sheet material together. Any, all, or a combination of the top, intermediate, or carrier layers of sheet material may have shape retaining deformability characteristics to aid in holding an embossed design in the work material. In operation, the printer prints an image onto the work material, which is then advanced to the processing mechanism where a creaser places indented fold lines into the work material, a knife cuts the blank from the work material, and an embosser, moving in either a rasterwise or vectorial motion, embosses a design into the work material. The blank can then be removed from the work material and erected into a package or other free-standing three dimensional display item.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for manufacturing wrapping sheets from a pulp web are disclosed. The disclosed method includes drying the pulp web, embossing the dry pulp web by providing a plurality of raised portions on the surface of the dried pulp web, cutting the pulp web into sheets, and forming a stack of sheets of the pulp web. Apparatus for carrying out this method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A tool is provided for a rotary embossing device for embossing flat, sheet-shaped material. The device includes two rotating embossing tools in the form of a male tool and a female tool for creating an embossing. At least the male tool has a roller body to which a seamless annular tool sleeve is attached. The tool sleeve of the male tool has raised embossing dots on its outer circumferential surface. These dots interact with corresponding recesses in the outer circumferential surface of the female tool.
Abstract:
Apparatuses are disclosed that include forming selected perforation designs and patterns. The perforation designs and patterns can be formed in linear or nonlinear fashion, can extend in the cross direction or the machine direction and can be formed to complement or match an embossed or printed design on the web. The perforation designs and patterns can be formed utilizing various mechanical perforating techniques.
Abstract:
A cutting die includes two plastic templates detachably coupled to each other and having patterns formed thereon. At least one of the patterns is provided with a cutting portion for allowing the cutting operation to be performed while imprinting a desired pattern by folding the two plastic templates relative to each other, thereby dispensing with the cutting step otherwise performed after the pattern is imprinted.
