Abstract

L'invention concerne un produit en papier de soie multicouches (10) et son procédé de production. Le papier multicouche présente au moins trois couches structurées de papier, une première couche extérieure (12) présentant un premier motif de microstructure avec des premières protubérances (18) d'une première hauteur (h1), une deuxième couche extérieure (14) présentant un deuxième motif de microstructure avec des deuxièmes protubérances (22) d'une seconde hauteur (h2) et au moins une couche intermédiaire (16), prise en sandwich entre la première couche extérieure (12) et la deuxième couche extérieure (14), présentant un troisième motif de structure qui est un motif gaufré avec des troisièmes protubérances (17). Les première et deuxième couches extérieures et la ou les couches intermédiaires sont liées de manière non alignée, un gaufrage de décoration dans la première couche extérieure (12) et/ou la deuxième couche extérieure (14) avec des protubérances de décoration (21) présentant une quatrième hauteur (h4, h4'), la différence de hauteur (?h, ?h') entre la première hauteur (h1) et/ou la deuxième hauteur (h2) et la quatrième hauteur (h4, h4') étant comprise entre 0,4 mm et 1 mm. Les trois couches sont liées (24) après que la première couche extérieure, la deuxième couche extérieure et la couche intermédiaire ont été structurées séparément.
