Flat toilet paper

Sheet formats, number of folds, certifications

The package is characterized by several technical elements that you need to check because the concept of package will not bring you much just as we talk about toilet paper roll. Just like in a roll, you have to check the number of sheets or the length of the roll and finally the format of the sheet, it will be the same for a sheet paper.
You will therefore need to check the size of the sheet, the number of sheets per pack and the thickness of the paper in terms of "number of plies". In general, if your paper is 1 ply (one thickness) it will be able to contain more sheets (500, 520, etc.) and if it is made of 2 plies (two thicknesses) it will be around 250 sheets.
Of course, with double thickness your paper will be more comfortable and softer , but again you will need to check the weight of the paper expressed in grams/m2. You will also have better absorption.
The type of wadding used will be pure cellulose wadding or recycled wadding.
The certifications will be FSC, Ecolabel.
The choice of products with this label is a guarantee of manufacturing in compliance with environmental standards.

Comparison with other toilet papers

Although single sheet toilet paper has many advantages as we have seen, it is interesting to compare it to other toilet paper, such as professional toilet paper in small rolls or larger formats such as jumbo or mini jumbo paper.
The small roll is generally inexpensive to purchase but should be reserved for low traffic areas where the priority is the quality of service when looking at high-end products such as Kleenex or Tork Premium such as hotel rooms, guest rooms , restaurants, semi-private spaces such as stadium boxes, etc. or in places with very low traffic such as daycare centers, hospital rooms, small changing rooms, small businesses, small shops , etc. where essential quality will be required.
Toilet paper in jumbo or mini jumbo rolls can be more advantageous for high traffic areas, where a high level of autonomy is required, such as train stations, airports, stadiums, town halls, schools. Indeed, this type of format, which is the reference for the community, will be more suitable than the sheet-by-sheet options in packs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Single Sheet Paper

Are all single sheet packs compatible?

The vast majority of packages all respect more or less the same dimensional standard in terms of package size. However, since each brand tries to make its device "captive", you will have to check the dimensions of the package if you want to put an alternative consumable in a Tork, Kimberly Clark, etc. brand dispenser.

Can you put several packages in a dispenser?

Some single sheet toilet paper dispensers accept 2 packs such as the Tork T3 dispenser, the Kimbery Aquarius flat pack dispenser and the JVD dispenser which comes in a 1 pack (less tall) or 2 pack version.
The 2-pack option is interesting because it allows you to extend the autonomy significantly.

My toilet paper consumption per sheet is too high

To calculate whether your consumption is too high, you need to check the number of distributors and people who frequent your establishment and calculate the daily ratio.
The risk with toilet paper, whatever it is, is often misuse.

When is toilet paper misused in bathrooms?

The most glaring case is the absence of disposable paper towels for drying hands coupled with an electric hand drying system that is ineffective or simply broken!
In this case, users either have the option of wiping themselves on their clothes or taking toilet paper. So you will have understood, what you think you are saving on one side will cost you much more on the other with the risk of blocking your toilet.
The solution? Place an electric hand dryer and a hand towel dispenser in high traffic areas.
