The Distinguish Between Common Embossing and Glue Lamination

What is the difference between common embossing and glue lamination?

Common embossing and glue lamination are common processes in the processing of household paper products, and are widely used in all types of hygienic paper products. They are all for embossing patterns on the product and bonding multiple layers of jumbo roll paper. , what is the difference or the difference between the two?

First. Both are used before the process of cutting and perforating, rewinding or folding after the jumbo roll paper is unwind. And both are used to press multiple layers of paper. But common embossing generally use “steel to rubber/woolen” rolls system to make paper layers bonding with physical strength, glue lamination use “steel to steel” rolls system, then coat glue on the pattern of steel rolls.

Second, ordinary embossed paper is bonded together by pressure, so it can be separated by hand, it is often used in soft paper such as toilet paper and facial tissue, while glued paper is bonded by glue and is difficult to separate. It is often used in hard paper such as kitchen towels and hand towels.

Thirdly, due to the less tension on the paper during the embossing process, the glue lamination can use more complicated patterns.

That’s all  the difference between common embossing and glue lamination.
