Abstract
Embossed and rolled tissue products are disclosed. In particular, an embossing pattern is used that enhances the softness and bulk of a tissue product without a substantial degradation in strength. The embossing patterns of the present invention are particularly well suited for use with bath tissues and with webs that have not been through-air dried. The web can be, for instance, a wet-pressed web that has been creped.
