Every year in
America billions of dollars are being spent on restroom
supplies and sanitary products. The largest expense in
restroom supplies is toilet paper. Americans use millions of
rolls of toilet paper every year without a second thought.
The toilet paper industry is so large that it is very
difficult sometimes to get a grasp on new products, updates
and company mergers. There are considerations to make when
choosing a toilet paper, some of these considerations include
cost, style, size, color and softness. Do you want toilet
paper that you don't have to replace often? Do you want to
save money and go with a sand paper grade toilet paper? How
cheap can I buy it for without my employees complaining?
Hopefully this article will give you a basic understanding of
toilet paper terminology.
The style of
toilet paper usually refers to how it is wound onto a roll and
the size of the roll.. There are three main types of toilet
paper rolls; standard, jumbo, and jumbo junior. Standard
toilet paper is the type of toilet paper you see in
residential restrooms and is usually packaged 96 rolls in a
case. Jumbo toilet paper is the type of toilet paper you
would see in a public restroom, usually the rolls about 12
inches across and measure about 4000 feet when unrolled.
Jumbo junior toilet paper is a smaller version of the jumbo
roll and usually measures about 9 inches across and about 2000
feet when unrolled. Jumbo junior toilet paper rolls are
sometimes called JRT rolls and are great when dispenser size
is an issue.
The softness of a
roll of toilet paper usually rates in correspondence to the
ply of the toilet paper. When we talk about the ply of the
toilet paper we are talking about how many layers the toilet
paper contains. The two most common plys of toilet paper are
1 ply and 2 ply sheets. 1 ply toilet tissue means that the
toilet tissue has one layer and two ply tissue means that
there are two layers bonded together. The type of material
used in making toilet paper can also be a factor in the
softness. Some toilet papers use finer paper material to make
the toilet paper softer. In general 2 ply toilet paper is
more expensive than 1 ply, but if your concerned about price
and quality is not a factor 1 ply is definitely the way to go.
Commercial toilet
paper comes in two colors, white (sometimes called bleached)
and natural (brown toilet paper). White or bleached toilet
paper goes through a process where the pulp material is
bleached to give the toilet paper a nice white clean look.
Bleached white toilet paper is usually more costly due to the
manufacturing process.
Commercial toilet
tissue dispensers are fitted to the type of toilet paper you
are using. Jumbo and jumbo junior toilet tissue dispensers
can usually hold up to two rolls and have automatic feeders to
replace the first roll when it runs out. When purchasing
bathroom tissue be sure to make sure that the dispensers fits
the toilet paper and vice versa.
The 4 largest
commercial manufacturers of toilet paper are Georgia Pacific,
Kimberly Clark, Scott, and Windsoft. In my opinion Georgia
Pacific and Kimberly Clark rate the best for softness and
quality. If your looking for a bang for your buck toilet
paper Windsoft is the way to go. With Windsoft toilet tissue
you can expect a good product at a great price.
