Jumbo toilet paper

Jumbo or mini jumbo toilet paper?

There are different standards in jumbo and mini jumbo toilet paper. Often the choice of jumbo or mini jumbo toilet paper format is dictated by the size, but often also by the purchase cost and the cost of production versus consumption .
The jumbo toilet paper roll is the market standard in the community and professional sector given the high traffic in community toilets. The jumbo and mini jumbo dispensers are standardized in terms of internal core size and external reel diameter in order to adapt to the associated dispensers.
Basically, a jumbo roll of toilet paper was 400 m long, which corresponded to the average consumption for an individual over a year .
This format was therefore also made to facilitate consumption statistics in communities.

How to choose jumbo / mini jumbo toilet paper

Jumbo toilet paper: roll length and diameter

This varies from 330, 350, 380, 400 meters for two-ply reels and up to 700 meters for single-ply reels. In all cases, your reel must not exceed 270 mm in external diameter in order to fit properly in your Jumbo dispenser. Be careful, several rolls can have the same external diameter and not the same footage... Indeed, during manufacturing, if the choice is made not to have a tight winding, you can even have jumbos with lengths of less than 300 m. An embossed wadding cannot be "wound" in the same way as a smooth wadding.
In two thicknesses the standard remains 380 m, notably with the Tork Jumbo 472118 reference.
However, severe competition between manufacturers has led to a reduction in footage and the imposition of shorter length standards, reference 321401 or 321402 or 321405.
Single-ply rolls such as part number 321640 are intended for economical use in very high traffic areas.
It is therefore necessary to check beyond the diameter of the coil its real content in terms of length / thickness / weight.

Jumbo paper inner core diameter

This is divided into two groups with the 60 mm chuck which represents 90% of the market and the 72 to 75 mm chuck which represents a small market share mainly corresponding to the Kimberly Clark standard. It is therefore necessary to check what is the standard of your device if you are already equipped. In the case of new equipment, the choice of the 55/60 mm standard distributor is the most widespread. For distributors for this type of standard, there are compatible ones such as the reference 812222 from Lucart.
