Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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 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.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A roll of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness such that the line of weakness is nonlinear, wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 5%, 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. 2. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 4%. 3. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 3%. 4. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of about 10 g to about 18 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Method. 5. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of about 11 g to about 17 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Method. 6. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue exhibits a Dry Burst of between about 100 g and about 1000 g, as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method. 7. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue is a through-dried fibrous structure. 8. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue is an uncreped fibrous structure. 9. A roll of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness such that the line of weakness is nonlinear, wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 4%, 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, and a Basis Weight of from about 30 g/m 2 to about 90 g/m 2 , as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 10. The roll of claim 9 , wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 3%. 11. The roll of claim 9 , wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 2.5%. 12. The roll of claim 9 , wherein the sanitary tissue exhibits a Dry Burst of between about 100 g and about 1000 g, as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method. 13. The roll of claim 9 , wherein the sanitary tissue is a through-dried fibrous structure. 14. The roll of claim 9 , wherein the sanitary tissue is an uncreped fibrous structure. 15. A roll of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness such that the line of weakness is nonlinear, wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 3%, 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, and a Geometric Mean Peak Elongation of greater than about 15%, as measured according to the Dry Tensile Strength Test Method. 16. The roll of claim 15 , wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 2.8%. 17. The roll of claim 15 , wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of less than about 2.4%. 18. The roll of claim 15 , wherein the sanitary tissue exhibits a Dry Burst of between about 100 g and about 1000 g, as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method. 19. The roll of claim 15 , wherein the sanitary tissue is a through-dried fibrous structure. 20. The roll of claim 15 , wherein the sanitary tissue is an uncreped fibrous structure.
