Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a web substrate having at least one embossed ply having a surface thereof. The surface has surface area comprising from about 0.0 percent to about 1.2 percent dot embossments and from about 5.0 percent to about 20.0 percent line embossments.

Claims (14)

1. A web substrate having at least one embossed ply having a surface thereof, wherein said surface has surface area comprising from about 0.0 percent to about 1.2 percent dot embossments and from about 10.0 percent to about 20.0 percent line embossments.

2. The web substrate of claim 1 wherein said surface area comprises from about 0.3 percent to about 1.0 percent dot embossments.

3. The web substrate of claim 2 wherein said surface area comprises from about 0.45 percent to about 0.70 percent dot embossments.

4. The web substrate of claim 1 wherein said surface area comprises from about 12.0 percent to about 20.0 percent line embossments.

5. The web substrate of claim 1 wherein said web substrate is a fibrous structure.
