PROCESS FOR INCREASING THE SOFTNESS OF BASE WEBS AND PRODUCTS MADE THEREFROM

A process for increasing the tactile properties of a base web (38) without adversely effecting the strength of the web is disclosed. In one embodiment, the process includes the steps of placing a creped base web between a first moving conveyor (60) and a second moving conveyor.
