The intermediate layer may be embossed, with a textured side including a plurality of protrusions and a flat side including a plurality of flat depressions, with the intermediate layer being oriented to place the flat side into contact with the filter media. The inner seal is formed by application of pressure and an electrical current, with the magnitude of the electrical current being based on the roughness of the intermediate layer. Opposing sides of the inner and outer ends of the inner seal may each have a radius that is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm.
