Abstract: Systems and methods for forming creased or uncreased ruffles along one or more outside edges of a sheet entail integral formation or attachment of a ruffle strip. Integral formation entails selectively embossing ruffled areas of a web. Perforations may be formed to impart a lace appearance. The result is an integrally formed ruffled in a paper napkin, towel or the like.
Abstract: Systems and methods for forming creased or uncreased ruffles along one or more outside edges of a sheet entail integral formation or attachment of a ruffle strip. Integral formation entails selectively compacting unruffled areas of a web, stretching (e.g., embossing) ruffled areas, or compacting an entire web and subsequently stretching ruffled areas. Attachment methods entail forming a ruffle strip and gluing or stitching it to a web.
