  • Patent number: 11124921
    Abstract: The present invention provides multi-ply tissue products having distinctly different first and second outer surfaces or sides. The two-sidedness is generally provided by forming one of the surfaces from a tissue ply having a plurality of macrofolds and the other side from a substantially planar tissue ply. The first ply may be attached to the second ply at transversely spaced apart points by a conventional means, such as crimping. Macrofolds, which may be differently sized and shaped, may generally have a wave-like structure with a transversely orientated void that extends between the spaced apart points of attachment. The combination of these elements provides a tissue product that is both aesthetically pleasing and well suited to cleaning due to the large amount of surface area created by the macrofolds.
