Abstract:
A sheet of absorbent material having opposite sheet side edges spaced apart from one another to define an overall width of the absorbent sheet, the sheet of absorbent material including zones of weakness spaced along the sheet of absorbent material according to a machine direction, each zone of weakness extending substantially transversally to said machine direction, each zone of weakness defining two adjacent individual absorbent sheet portions, each zone of weakness being a tear line. The tear line comprises two edge regions and a central region, a first edge region beginning at one of the sheet side edges towards the central region, a second edge region beginning at the other sheet side edges towards the central region, the central region including alternating perforated segments and unperforated segments. The edge regions are unperforated so as to constitute attachment areas within the tear line between two adjacent individual absorbent sheet portions.
Abstract:
A stack of folded absorbent sheet products includes a first absorbent sheet product folded according to a first type of folding, the first absorbent sheet product includes at least one fold wherein at least a first panel is coupled to at least a second panel through a folding line. Each first absorbent sheet product encloses as a whole a certain amount of a second absorbent sheet product between said at least first panel and second panel, the second absorbent sheet product being folded according to a second type of folding. The certain amount of the second absorbent sheet product is formed as a sub-stack that nests within the first absorbent sheet product so as to distribute the certain amount of absorbent sheet product with one grasping movement of the first absorbent sheet product.
