V.S. Plastics

Elarapac 1-ply tissue paper refers to a single layer of paper used in products like napkins, facial tissues, or toilet paper. It is typically the most economical option, designed for basic, high-volume use where cost-efficiency is the priority over softness or high-absorbency.

Elarapac Paper Napkin Key Characteristics

• Thinness: Because it consists of a single sheet, it is lightweight and has a lower grammage compared to 2-ply or 3-ply varieties.

• Cost-Effective: It is the most affordable grade, making it the standard choice for commercial settings like public restrooms, cafeterias, and high-traffic office buildings.

• Dispensing: Most 1-ply toilet paper comes in "jumbo roll" or "interfold" formats designed for high-capacity dispensers to reduce maintenance frequency.

• Strength: While thinner, quality 1-ply tissue is engineered to be rapidly dispersible in water, making it safe for most plumbing systems, especially in older buildings.

Common Uses

• Commercial Restrooms: Often used in institutional dispensers to minimize waste and refill labor.

• Basic Napkins: Found in fast-food outlets where a simple, functional wipe is required.

• Facial Tissue: Sometimes used in budget-friendly "pop-up" boxes for general cleaning tasks.

Comparison Table

Rumanza 2-ply tissue paper napkin is designed to balance softness and strength, making it the standard choice for casual dining, cafes, and household use. Because it has two layers bonded together, it offers better absorption than 1-ply without the bulkiness of a premium 3-ply guest towel.

Below are the standard technical specifications typically found in the industry:

Core Technical Specifications Dimensions & Fold Types

Napkin sizes vary depending on their intended use. Dimensions usually refer to the unfolded sheet size.

• Cocktail / Beverage Napkin: * Unfolded: 20cm x 20cm or 24cm x 24cm

  • Common Fold: 1/4 fold

• Luncheon Napkin: * Unfolded: 30cm x 30cm or 33cm x 33cm

  • Common Fold: 1/4 fold or 1/8 fold

• Dinner Napkin: * Unfolded: 40cm x 40cm

  • Common Fold: 1/8 (Book) fold or 1/4 fold

Performance Characteristics1. Absorbency

A quality 2-ply napkin should be able to absorb liquids rapidly. This is achieved through the air pocket created between the two layers and the "quilt" pattern created by embossing.

2. Tensile Strength

• Dry Strength: Must withstand wiping without tearing easily.

• Wet Strength: Should maintain integrity when damp (typically achieved through a small amount of wet-strength resin in the pulp mix).

3. Texture & Feel

• Softness: High-end 2-ply napkins undergo "calendering" (smoothing) to ensure they are gentle on the skin.

• Linting: High-quality specifications require low-linting to ensure no paper fibers are left on clothing or faces.

Packaging & Compliance

• Standard Pack: Usually 50, 100, or 250 sheets per pack.

• Food Safety: Must be produced using food-grade dyes (if colored) and chemicals, often meeting FDA or equivalent international standards for food contact.

• Sustainability: Look for FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC certifications to ensure responsible sourcing.
