Tissue paper is a soft, lightweight, and highly absorbent product, which is also tear-resistant, disposable, and relatively strong compared to other forms of paper. While it is mainly used in sanitary and household cleaning applications such as toilet tissue, paper towels, and napkins, it is also used as a packing and wrapping material and has decorative applications as a craft material. With Raw Materials as your eco-friendly tissue suppliers, you can be sure that you will receive the highest quality of product at all times, internationally sourced, delivered on time, and to your precise specifications.
Biodegradable tissue paper, offers a multitude of benefits, with sustainability at the forefront of its appeal. In an era where environmental consciousness is paramount, choosing eco-friendly tissue materials as a packaging or wrapping material is a responsible choice. Sustainable tissue paper is created from sustainable materials, often using renewable fibers like bamboo or recycled paper content, reducing damaging effects on the environment. Its lightweight nature minimizes transportation emissions, further contributing to eco-friendliness. Additionally, tissue packaging adds an aesthetic touch to gift wrapping, enhancing the presentation while remaining eco-conscious. Once its purpose is fulfilled, tissue paper easily decomposes, leaving no lasting environmental impact. By choosing eco-friendly tissue materials, we can reduce our carbon footprint, promote responsible sourcing, and embrace a sustainable approach to tissue paper packaging and wrapping.
There are five main types of tissue products, each with a different use. Paper suppliers like Raw Materials can source paper that is manufactured in an extensive range of colours and textures, which can be moistened and/or perfumed depending on its intended use.
This is the most purchased commodity in European and American countries. Toilet paper comes in various numbers of ‘ply’ (layers of thickness), from one-ply all the way up to six-ply, with more back-to-back plies offering greater strength and absorbency. Typically, toilet tissue has the lowest grade of fibres used for tissue paper, but can be rippled, perfumed, coloured, patterned, medicated, or treated with aloe vera or other perfumes. Speak to a member of the Raw Materials team to arrange shipping in North America, Europe, Asia, or anywhere else in the world.
The second most popular paper by consumption, paper towels are used in place of a conventional cloth towel for drying hands, wiping windows and other surfaces, and dusting. The ‘kitchen roll’ is a standard feature of most domestic and commercial kitchens, for clearing up those accidental spills. It is convenient, and of course, disposable. Paper towels soak up liquids because they are loosely woven, enabling the liquid to travel between the fibres. It is most commonly available as a 2-ply product but can be manufactured at 4-ply. Paper towels are generally sold packed as stacks of folded towels or in rolls. Speak to your tissue paper suppliers at Raw Materials to discuss your order requirements.
Facial tissues and paper handkerchiefs are made from the lowest base weights of tissue paper and often have a smooth finish achieved by light calendaring. Tissues or ‘hankies’ are mainly manufactured as 2-3 ply thickness. Given market demands for a higher-quality tissue, the base tissue used in these ranges is normally made entirely from pure chemical pulp, though some recycled fibres may be added. Softeners, lotions, or perfumes are often added by some tissue manufacturers to differentiate their product range; whatever best meets the needs of your target consumer.
Paper napkins come in many shapes, plies and sizes, ranging from table napkins for home use to commercial napkins for use in dispensers. These can all be offered from one to four plies and in a vast number of colours, patterns, folds and sizes depending on the intended use. Paper suppliers like Raw Materials can source the ideal grade, style and quantity of paper to suit your requirements, no matter if you’re a manufacturer of home products or looking for napkins to use in service industry applications.
This type of paper is thin, translucent, coloured, and often patterned, intended for use in gift wrapping to add an extra special and luxury feel to a boxed or bagged gift. It is also used for tissue paper crafts such as origami and for decoration and presentation purposes. As tissue suppliers, Raw Materials can source and deliver eco-friendly wrapping tissue in any colour or quantity to suit the needs of your business.
