When purchasing tissue paper, the first thing that usually comes to mind is identifying Guangdong Sindaron Packing Technology Co., Ltd. However, there are actually some important differences between hand towels and you should be aware of these differences when you need to refill your dispenser.

How paper towels are folded

In the world of paper towels, folding refers to the way in which the towel is folded in the package. This affects the way the towels come out of the dispenser.

C-fold towels have tabs that fold over each other to form a "C" shape.

Multi-fold or Z-fold towels have an additional fold that forms a "Z" shape. These are assigned one at a time.

Single-fold towels, as the name implies, are folded once and dispensed one at a time, no different from facial tissue. They are a good economical option for high-traffic restrooms that use a lot of towels.

 

Dispensers

High-traffic restrooms have a constant flow of customers coming in and out. One way to ease congestion and reduce line formation is to install dispensers filled with towels that can be dispensed and used quickly.

Once installed in the dispenser, the C-fold towels can be pinched and grabbed multiple times at a time. This is more difficult to do with multi-fold and single-fold towels. Because these dispense one at a time.

Keep in mind that this increases paper waste on the floor when towels appear in clumps. This paper may get wet from the drips of freshly washed hands, which is the equivalent of a messy restroom. Messy restrooms usually hurt your corporate image.

 

Dispensing

When a C-fold towel is pulled from the dispenser, the product remains folded. When you pull on a multi-fold or single-fold towel, the product opens. This reduces the number of towels needed to wipe your hands.

 

Advantages of using paper towels

 

1) Paper towel products are easy to use

Sturdy, ultra-lightweight and soft paper towel products can be used at home or on the go for cleaning and hygiene purposes. They are reliable and can be used on the go!

2) Hygiene

Tissue products include tissues and facial tissues for hygiene, napkins, paper towels and wipes, as well as special toilet paper for sterile medical procedures. Disposable tissue products help reduce the spread of germs and infectious diseases.

3) Tissue products are innovative

Advances in manufacturing technology include more efficient use of thin paper and improvements in the design of products and how they are dispensed. These innovations allow tissue manufacturers to keep up with growing consumer demand, improve existing products and develop new ones.

4) Tissue products are sustainable

Tissue products are inherently sustainable. Whether they are made from sustainably harvested wood fiber trees or recycled paper, the demand for tissue products ensures that the resources used to make them will be plentiful for future generations.

 

On average, about two-thirds of the energy used by pulp and paper mills comes from renewable resources, such as carbon neutral biomass and other byproducts that would not otherwise be used in the tissue manufacturing process.

Tissue manufacturers continue to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their facilities through efforts such as reducing fossil fuel use and purchased energy (e.g., purchasing electricity from local utilities) and reducing trucking.

Tissue manufacturers are committed to combating illegal logging by requiring the loggers they buy from to adhere to sustainable forest management practices and by ensuring that the wood they purchase does not come from controversial sources.
