Abstract: A roll of sanitary tissue product that includes a shaped line of weakness, wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of from about 7%, and the sanitary tissue product has a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of about 8 g to about 20 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Method.

Abstract: Described herein is an array of finished products, each finished product in said array may have a Percent Compressibility of greater than 3.00% and an actual length ranging from about 10.955 inches to about 11.045 inches. The finished products may be paper towels, where the actual length is different for at least two finished products of the array and where at least one of the finished products of the array of finished products may comprise a protruding core and where at least one of the finished products may comprise a hidden core, and where each of the finished products are in a package.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for adjusting and maintaining a position of cutting surfaces used to create lines of weakness in rolled products. During cutting operations, intermittent contact between cutting surfaces causes cutting components to become heated, which in turn, causes an overlap distance between cutting surfaces to vary from desired values. Conversely, when cutting operations are stopped, the components cool, which in turn, may cause the overlap distance to vary from desired values at steady state operating conditions. To help reduce or eliminate the changes to overlap distances caused by cyclical heating and cooling between times of cutting operations and shutdowns, one or more heaters may be utilized to apply heat to one or more components to maintain relatively constant temperatures during periods of cutting operations and/or when cutting operations are paused or stopped.

Abstract: Described herein is an array of finished products, each finished product in the array having a length relative error of less than 0.81% of a target length, H is disclosed. The finished products, which may be toilet paper and kitchen towels, are formed from transversally cutting elongate logs of convolutely wound web materials.

Abstract: A folding apparatus is provided to be positioned adjacent a conveyor along which product having a flexible film wrapper wrapped about the product moves adjacent the folding apparatus such that the folding apparatus effects the folding of a first flap of the wrapper. The folding apparatus comprises a passive folding device comprising a first passive folding member defining a first passive folding surface adapted to engage the first flap as the product and the film wrapper move in a machine direction and folding the first flap from a first position away from the product to a second position adjacent the product.

Abstract: A web of sanitary tissue of the present disclosure may comprise a shaped line of weakness, wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Line of Weakness Performance Factor (LWP Factor) of from about 7 to about 30, and a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of between about 8 g and about 20 g according to the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Test Method.

Abstract: A roll of sanitary tissue product that includes a shaped line of weakness, wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of from about 2% to about 10%, and a Full Sheet Tensile Strength of between about 400 g and about 850 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Tensile Strength Test Method.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to adjusting and maintaining a position of a cutting surface used to create lines of weakness for rolled products. A perforating apparatus includes a housing rotatably supported by a frame, wherein the housing is adapted to rotate about a first axis. A support member including a first cutting surface is rotatably supported by the housing, wherein the support member is adapted to rotate about a second axis offset from the first axis. A roll including a second cutting surface is positioned adjacent the support member, wherein the roll is adapted to rotate about a third axis. The second cutting surface is adapted to contact the first cutting surface as the roll rotates about the third axis. The perforating apparatus is configured such that the functions of adjusting the position of the first cutting surface and holding the first cutting surface in a fixed position are separate.
