Abstract: A core has a cylindrical wall that can be torn axially and is made up of two superposed strips, these strips respectively being an outer strip in contact with the product and an inner strip, these strips being wound on one another and joined together by regions of attachment for example by bonding. At least one of the longitudinal edges of the inner strip is not attached or is weakly attached over a determined width in order, over at least part of its helical length, to form a free and accessible tab facing the outer strip.

Abstract: A calendering roller used to manufacture textured nonwoven fabric including papermaking fibers is disclosed. The calendering roller includes a positive pattern that includes a basic element having a ring shape and a repetition of said basic element along multiple rows and columns substantially overall a peripheral surface of the calendaring roller. The ring defines an apex relatively to a center portion of the ring defining a cavity and a grinded surrounding zone. The ring includes at least one radial channel putting in communication the cavity and the grinded surrounding zone so as to define a discontinuous calendering surface. The repetition is regular except for multiple substantially longitudinally and transversally oriented regions. The regions are of limited size with respect to a calendering roller size and randomly distributed so as to define multiple random longitudinal and transverse lines in the textured nonwoven fabric including papermaking fibers, generating a cloth-like visual texture.
