The embossment (100) comprises a base surface (103); a raised surface (102) opposite to the base surface (103); and at least one recessed area (104) formed therein and extending from the base surface (103) and the raised surface (102) to the base surface (103), wherein depth (Dr) of the recessed area (104) is between 50% to 99% relative to height (He) of the embossment (100) between the base surface (103) and the raised surface (102).
Claims8
An embossment (100) formed on a sheet thermoplastic elastomer film, wherein the embossment (100) comprises:
- (i) a base surface (103);
- (ii) a raised surface (102) opposite to the base surface (103) and located at a distance from the base surface (103);
- and
- (iii) at a recessed area (104) from the raised surface (102);
- wherein:
- a design of the embossment (100) and the recessed area (104) is at least one shape;
- height (He) of the embossment (100) is the distance between the base surface (103) and the raised surface (102);
- the recessed area (104) is located at a depth (Dr) is between 80% to 99% relative to height (He) of the embossment (100) and measured between the raised surface (102) and a surface opposite to surface of the recessed area (104);
- the recessed area (104) defines a void from surface of the recessed area (104) toward the raised surface (102) and the raised surface (102) defines a void from a surface opposite to and corresponding to the raised surface (102) towards the base surface (103 wherein the void beneath the raised surface (102) is delimited by a non-embossed area (101).
