Embossed tissue

Abstract

The disclosed tissue products have an embossing pattern that is aesthetically pleasing and provides improved product properties, such as good bulk, while reducing processing issues, such as wrinkling. The embossing patterns generally comprise a background and a foreground pattern where the background pattern is the dominate pattern and provides the product with a uniform appearance that connotes femininity, softness and cleansing. The background pattern is preferably formed entirely from open design elements such as first, second and third open, curvilinear line elements, wherein the second and third line elements are discrete, similarly shaped curvilinear line elements that are arranged parallel to one another and spaced apart about 1.0 mm or less.
