Folded paper hand towels – Folded paper hand towels are dispensed sheet by sheet in guest washrooms, staff facilities and kitchens, which keeps handling hygienic and makes consumption easier to control. The choice depends on the fold, since Z, V, C and interfold sheets each require a matching dispenser, and on the ply count, sheet size and absorbency, which decide how many sheets a guest takes per use.
When asking for a quotation, state the fold type your dispensers accept, the sheets per pack and the monthly volume. A more absorbent two-ply towel often lowers total consumption despite the higher unit price; sheet dimensions, fold and pack quantity are given in the technical data.
Folded paper hand towels: procurement considerations
- Fold type: Z, V, C and interfold sheets are not interchangeable, so the installed dispenser determines which product can be ordered.
- Ply and absorbency: A two-ply towel usually dries hands in one sheet, which reduces both consumption and bin volume.
- Sheet size: Larger sheets suit kitchens and busy washrooms, while smaller formats are adequate for staff areas.
- Pack quantity: Sheets per pack and packs per carton affect the storage space needed and the reordering interval.
Frequently asked questions about this category
How do I identify the fold my dispenser needs?
The fold is normally marked on the dispenser or in its documentation. Z-fold and interfold are the most common formats in commercial washrooms.
Are folded towels more economical than rolls?
Per sheet they cost more, but single-sheet dispensing limits over-use, so total consumption in guest washrooms is often lower.
