Tissue product and method and apparatus for producing same

A multi-ply tissue paper product, comprising at least three plies wherein the tissue paper product comprising a first inner ply being a creped ribbed ply and having a basis weight of 10 to 30 gsm, and a first outermost ply and a second outermost ply on each side of said inner ply, said first and second outermost plies being non-ribbed plies,

• wherein a creped ribbed ply is defined as a ply comprising creping lines extending along a first direction, and parallel ribs and valleys extending continuously along a second direction being substantially perpendicular to said first direction, said ribs and valleys providing an average core roughness Rk in the range 10 to 300 μm, and a number of peaks being 4 to 12 per cm as measured along said first direction;
• wherein a non-ribbed ply is defined as a ply displaying no parallel ribs and valleys extending continuously along any direction of the ply or displaying parallel ribs and valleys extending continuously along any direction of the ply, said ribs and valleys providing a number of peaks being less than 4 per cm;
• and
• wherein said first inner ply and at least one of said first outermost ply and said second outermost ply comprise construction embossments configured to join at least two of the plies of said multi-ply tissue product, said construction embossments being applied over a total construction embossment area being less than 10% of a total area of said multi-ply tissue product.
