Historically, embossing served one of two functions for tissue products: volume characteristics or aesthetics. Competition within the industry soon put paper integrity in jeopardy. This inspired innovations from Fabio Perini and Korber Tissue sister company Engraving Solutions, such as 4D and PIXEL technologies that minimize the destructive impact of embossing while preserving desirable paper properties.
The needs and challenges of the tissue industry continue to redefine its future. Körber is responding in a way that only a leader can — with strategic consolidation of three respected tissue brands dedicated to holistic solutions for the converting...
Large or small, all tissue converters have to start somewhere. Deciding to pursue a tissue converting business — especially one that specializes in rolled product converting production — isn’t an undertaking to be considered lightly. Yet, it’s not one...

Rewinders are an essential part of any tissue converting operation, and their performance largely drives production success. The current 3- and 4-roll rewinder configurations are both popular in the field.
However, as converters gain comparative...
Facial tissue. Hand towels. Napkins. Folded tissue products remain in demand. Growth rates in North America are projected at 1.8% annually through 2025, and away-from-home (AFH) product trends point to a 2.3% increase during that same timeframe.
As few as 20 years ago, tissue embossing was mainly considered a volume-generating process. There were one or two design engravings available, both of which had a mechanical function — creating volume for rolled tissue product packs. Customers chose...
Packaging is a constant need, yet a market of shifting dynamics. Current trends could be — and have been — replaced by more popular iterations. Changes in packaging standards necessitate change in materials and/or processes.
Such shifting priorities...
Embossing systems are necessary and expensive equipment options tissue manufacturers use to differentiate their products or enhance product attributes. The use of exclusive embossing patterns introduces signature designs. Embossing also can influence...
