Embossing press for producing embossed seams

An embossing press for producing embossed seams having a total width to join at least two paper layers or fleece layers, said at least two paper layers or fleece layers arranged one above the other and conveyed in a straight line, said embossing press comprising:

• an embossing roller having a row of embossing teeth, each embossing tooth of said row of embossing teeth having a width that corresponds at least to the total width of the embossed seams that can be produced during each embossing operation;
• and
• a counter cylinder having a longitudinal axis and designed as a fluted roller at least in the area of the embossing operation, said fluted roller having a plurality of ridge areas, a number of flutes formed between said ridge areas that extend across the periphery of said counter cylinder parallel to said longitudinal axis, and at least one groove formed across said ridged areas in the embossed region wherein the row of embossing teeth dip into the number of flutes of the fluted roller producing embossed seams that extend at an angle relative to the conveying direction for the paper layers or fleece layers and the at least one groove corresponds to a non-embossed separating zone between individual embossed seams produced by said embossing roller and said counter cylinder.
