Abstract
A napkin is folded so that certain layers include marginal portions which extend beyond the remaining layers. The marginal portions are provided with a deeper embossing pattern than the remaining portions of the napkin to provide enhanced banding and handling of a stack of napkins.
Claims18
A napkin comprising a sheet of paper having at least one fold line to define a plurality of overlapping sections, at least one section being larger than at least one other section such that each larger section defines a marginal portion along one side of the napkin that extends beyond each other section, each said marginal portion including a first embossing pattern and the remainder of the napkin including a second embossing pattern, the first embossing pattern being generally deeper than said second embossing pattern and formed in substantially only said marginal portion.
A napkin comprising a sheet of paper having at least one fold line to define a plurality of overlapping sections, at least one section being larger than at least one other section such that each larger section defines a marginal portion along one side of the napkin that extends beyond each other section, each said marginal portion being embossed to be generally thicker than the remaining portion of the napkin.
A napkin comprising a sheet of paper having at least one fold line to define a plurality of overlapping sections and a pair of opposite sides, one of said sides of the napkin having fewer overlapping sections than said opposite side, said sections on said one side with fewer sections being embossed so that said one side generally has the same thickness as the opposite side of the napkin.
A napkin comprising a single sheet of paper having a pair of side edges, a pair of end edges, a primary fold line extending generally parallel to said side edges to define first and second panels which overlap one another, and at least one secondary fold line extending generally perpendicular to said primary fold line to divide the panels into a plurality of sections, said primary fold line being spaced farther from one of said side edges than the other of said side edges so that said first panel is larger than said second panel, said first panel including a marginal portion along said one side edge that extends beyond said second panel, said marginal portion being formed with an embossing pattern having a first depth, the remaining portion of the napkin being formed with an embossing pattern having a second depth which is less than said first depth said embossing pattern with said first depth being formed substantially only in said marginal portion.
