Abstract
A filter media in which larger corrugations are impressed or embossed onto media that has been previously corrugated with standard corrugations. This construction greatly increases the beam strength of a resulting pleat that allows the channels to remain open during processing into the pleated media, and prevents buckling of the media duping gathering on current pleating equipment. In addition, once the media is pleated, the larger corrugations or embossments, combined with the standard corrugations, create large channels for fluid flow from pleat tip to the base of the pleat.
