Paper Towels

Paper Towels FAQ

• Are higher-ply paper towels worth the cost?

  Often, yes. Higher absorbency and better wet strength can reduce the number of sheets used per dry or cleanup, lowering total cost per use even if the case price is higher. Test in your highest-use area to validate consumption.

• How do I make sure the paper towels fit my dispenser?

  Check the dispenser requirements for towel format (roll vs folded), core size, roll diameter, and fold type (multifold, C-fold, Z-fold). If you are unsure, match the towel to the dispenser model number before ordering cases.

• Should I buy paper towels by the case or by the pallet?

  Cases work well for single locations and smaller storage areas. Pallet orders typically lower freight cost per unit and reduce stockouts for multi-site or high-volume facilities, especially when you standardize on a few SKUs.

• What brands are commonly used in commercial facilities?

  Common commercial brands include Tork, Georgia Pacific Professional, Scott, Kleenex, Boardwalk, GEN, Papernet, Cascades, Marcal PRO, and AbilityOne. Brand selection usually comes down to dispenser compatibility, performance level, and budget targets.

• Which paper towel type is best for high-traffic restrooms?

  Hardwound roll towels and high-capacity multifold towels are common for high-traffic restrooms because they reduce changeouts and support controlled dispensing. Confirm the towel format matches your dispenser to prevent jams and waste.
