Z-fold Paper Towels: Hygienic and Practical

Paper towels consist of several layers of cellulose, offering an affordable and hygienic alternative to fabric towels. Despite having fewer layers, our Z-fold paper towels are very tear-resistant and highly absorbent. The Z-fold design is user-friendly due to its automatic single-sheet dispensing feature. These paper towels are ideal for areas with medium to high usage. The Z-fold, also known as a "non-stop fold," allows individual towels to be dispensed while the next towel remains in position, ready for use. Each pack contains around 3,000 individual sheets, and a full pallet holds approximately 30 packs.

What Are Z-fold Paper Towels?

Z-fold paper towels are specially folded in a "Z" shape, making them easy and hygienic to dispense. This design helps reduce usage, as only one towel is dispensed at a time, enhancing hygiene and reducing both consumption and waste. Compared to C-fold towels, Z-fold towels are a more efficient option. They are especially suitable for environments where hygiene and cleanliness are top priorities.

Applications of Z-fold Paper Towels

Z-fold paper towels are particularly suitable for use in care homes and hospitals, the catering industry, and food processing areas, where high hygiene standards are required. They enable quick and easy dispensing and help prevent cross-contamination. They are also ideal for public restrooms and high-traffic areas. Their single-use nature minimizes germ transmission, ensuring a fresh towel is available for each user.

Benefits of Z-fold Paper Towels

Z-fold paper towels offer high absorbency and are hygienic, as they can be disposed of after each use. The design allows the paper to protrude approximately 5 cm from the dispenser, eliminating the need for contact with the dispenser, which reduces the risk of germ transmission. The compact folding makes them space-saving and easy to refill. In busy areas, like public restrooms, they help reduce waste while increasing user comfort.

Materials Used

Z-fold paper towels are typically made from high-quality tissue paper that is soft and absorbent. Often, recycled paper is used, which helps reduce environmental impact. Many varieties are chlorine-free and contain no harmful chemicals. Some manufacturers offer sustainable alternatives, such as bamboo, which are eco-friendly and dermatologically tested. These towels are even suitable for use in food handling, making them especially valuable in the hospitality industry.

Usage Areas for Z-fold Paper Towels

Z-fold paper towels are versatile. In restaurants and cafés, they ensure clean towels are available for each guest. In offices and workplaces, they help maintain cleanliness in kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, they contribute to waste reduction through the use of recyclable materials. In healthcare facilities, Z-fold towels are indispensable, ensuring the highest hygiene standards. In schools and nurseries, they are easy for children to handle while promoting environmental consciousness through reduced usage.

Sustainability of Z-fold Paper Towels

Z-fold paper towels are an eco-friendly choice. Often made from recycled paper, they help reduce resource consumption. Their biodegradability and efficient production methods further reduce their environmental footprint. Using these towels also lowers water usage compared to fabric towels, adding to their sustainability benefits.
