Tissue paper products – At first glance, a single sheet of paper towel or a roll of toilet paper may seem insignificant in the overall investment in a commercial space. However, LUU research shows that every third hygiene-related complaint is tied to a moment when a user is unable to dry their hands or finds an empty dispenser. Yet, sanitary paper supplies play a key role in shaping the first impression of a facility’s hygiene standards.
In practice, this results in frustrated employees, improvised napkins, towels “borrowed” from neighboring stalls, rushed attempts to find a quick fix—and the most expensive consequence of all: an additional round of cleaning due to puddles of water and scattered paper.
Tissue paper products make up more than half of the sanitary consumables budget, while controlling the first 30 seconds of every user experience. When deliveries are delayed or the wrong format is selected, the hygiene chain breaks, the facility’s reputation suffers, and maintenance costs increase.
In the following section, you’ll see how choosing the right format and quality can break this cycle and turn tissue paper products into a visible advantage.

Tissue paper products are much more than just toilet paper
Tissue paper products encompass far more than standard toilet paper. They include Z-fold and V-fold paper towels that allow fast and controlled hand drying, as well as roll towels with continuous feed systems that ensure uninterrupted supply in industrial settings. The range also covers various types of toilet paper—from practical two-ply to luxuriously soft four-ply premium options. High-quality sanitary consumables enable better organization, reduce usage, and improve maintenance efficiency.
A special category includes protective medical underpads that safeguard sanitary tables and pediatric beds, along with disposable paper sheets designed for spa beds and beauty salons.
Each of these products directly impacts hygiene standards, reputation, user flow through restroom facilities, and even your budget—from minimizing contamination risk to freeing up storage space and saving staff working hours.

Tissue paper products and variants – How to know which quality level is right
- Lightweight two-ply option made from recycled fibers
This variant offers basic absorbency while using the least amount of cellulose, making it a favorite in schools, gas stations, and warehouses—places where cost control is critical and aesthetic expectations are lower. When used with the appropriate dispenser, two-ply paper helps prevent waste and reduces the carbon footprint without compromising the core function of hand drying.
- The balanced choice – Soft and durable three-ply paper
Ideal for offices, clinics, and mid-range hotels where durability, softness, and cost need to be in harmony. Three-ply sheets absorb moisture quickly, leave a sense of “reliable cleanliness,” and reduce the number of sheets users instinctively take.
- Premium multi-ply paper
Enhanced with micro air pockets that give it a silky touch, this paper is designed for upscale hotels, lounge areas, and executive floors where every detail shapes the brand experience. Its high absorbency often makes a single sheet sufficient, subtly justifying the higher price and emphasizing a sense of luxury.
How to estimate monthly tissue paper consumption in three simple steps
- How many people use the restroom?
Consider your regular staff, guests, or clients coming through each day. The higher the traffic, the more sheets are needed—but that doesn’t necessarily mean a bigger budget if the format and dispenser work in your favor.
- Do you have peak times or slow periods?
Conferences, flu season, or collective summer vacations can shift consumption by up to a third. Instead of stockpiling “just in case,” align deliveries with your events calendar.
- What’s your supply rhythm?
If your service delivers daily, smaller reserves are enough. If deliveries happen weekly, keep a slightly larger stock to avoid last-minute orders on Friday afternoons or rushed one-time solutions, which usually impact your budget the most.
These three questions provide a rough estimate—but leave the exact calculation to us.

Common pistakes in choosing tissue paper product that unnecessarily increase your costs
- Excessive stockpiling
Pallets of paper occupy valuable storage space and tie up capital. After a few months, sheets lose their freshness and the cardboard deforms, making it harder to load them into dispensers. Switch to just-in-time deliveries and track consumption by department. Overordering sanitary consumables leads to product degradation, cluttered storage, and wasted resources.
- Mixing formats
A roll in one stall, V-fold in another, Z-fold in the third. Janitorial staff often place the wrong pack, sheets get jammed, and users end up walking the hall looking for paper. Standardize one format per facility and mark dispensers with a color or icon for easy identification.
- Wrong paper weight
Using ultra-thin sheets in high-traffic areas leads users to take multiple at once, while overly thick paper in an office unnecessarily increases costs. Choose a paper weight suited to traffic and user type, and then standardize it across all restrooms.
- Mismatched dispenser and paper format
Trying to insert Z-fold towels into a roll dispenser guarantees crumpling, double dispensing, and user frustration. Always pair the correct paper format with its original dispenser, and inspect springs and clasps annually to ensure smooth functionality.
- No consumption monitoring
If you’re not tracking how much Department A uses compared to Department B, you have no insight into where paper is “leaking.”
- Lack of refill protocols
Emergency refills during peak times lead to a chaotic “grab what you can” approach. Establish a routine: morning restock, afternoon check, and a hygiene logbook for staff to sign off.

Frequently asked questions and common misconceptions about tissue paper product
- Does recycled paper absorb less than pure cellulose paper?
No. Modern recycled fibers undergo a “deep clean” process and have almost the same absorbency coefficient as standard cellulose.
- Will premium multi-ply paper always increase costs?
Not necessarily. Thanks to higher absorbency, a single sheet is often enough—reducing actual consumption while enhancing the hygiene experience.
- Can a dispenser get jammed if I use a different brand of paper?
It’s possible. Every dispenser is optimized for a specific type and paper weight. Using the wrong format increases the risk of sheet jams.
- How often should dispensers be refilled?
Well-maintained facilities follow the “once early in the morning, once near the end of the shift” rule. With Z-fold towels and proper traffic assessment, even busy offices typically require just two quick refill rounds per day.
