It is fundamental to talk about the type of equipment that will store it, even before the choice of paper, after all, one does not exist without the other.

The most important in this case is not the name used but the type of it, the most found being the Dispenser for Interleaving Paper and the Dispenser Paper Towel Coil or Roller .
The type interfolia is the most common, it is usually small and intended for environments where consumption is considered low to medium, has low autonomy in drying hands. With a full load of Paper Towel, this type of dispenser has the potential to dry hands, about 100 times on average. Used towels can be 2 or 3 folds.
On the other hand, the type Coil or Roller is usually indicated for high traffic places of people or in environments where consumption is very high, such as industries, especially food, as well as in bars, restaurants, snack bars and the like where consumption is also very high intense.
Depending on the size and weight of the Paper Towel Roll it can dry about 400 times the users hands, so this great autonomy of the dispenser should be a big variable when considering the choice.
It is common for paper towel suppliers to give away paperboards to customers for free, under a lending regime, for the loyalty of the purchase of the product, so this supply format must be taken into account when choosing.
A great advantage is to choose the paper and paper holder from the same manufacturer, since the measures and eventual adjustments of the equipment take into account the product for which they are intended, thus increasing the chance of saving.

3. Choose by Paper Towel Price
Before explaining the price issue, it pays to establish differences between the terms Prices and Expenses .
Price is the numerical monetary value spent on the purchase of a certain product, in our blog we refer to the price of the paper towel in its packaging of acquisition.
Expenses are expenses incurred to keep businesses and industries up and running, the context will be the amount spent with the paper towel in a certain period.
It has numerous types of packaging, with an extremely high combination of measurements and quantities of meters and sheets of paper.
This component is often related to paper yield, ie it is possible to pay more for a meter of paper towel and to see the consumption being so reduced that the monthly expenditure falls.
Very interesting this video below, which shows the "value" of cleaning for a business segment such as schools, where the paper towel is totally included in this view and it is clear that the price is definitely not the most important but the level of quality obtained through of products and cleaning processes, where the paper is definitely included.
Therefore the Paper Towel Price should be analyzed, only as a component of your choice and not as the most important aspect, because when trying to reduce expenses and get cheap paper towel, we are not guaranteed to reduce expenses in addition to taking the risk to have them tied or even increased.
4. Choose by Paper Towel Quality
When choosing the towel paper for the Quality we can correct the expected degree of utility of such product, so it is fundamental to define exactly which parameters will be used to analyze it, such as:
- Softness and Comfort
- Volume required to perform the drying and / or cleaning operation
- Moist resistance level of the product
- Absorption power
- Appearance, color and whiteness
- Tensile strength
- Grammage
- Composition
- Microbiological analysis of paper
Based on real cases we cite the use of the parameters: for a health care company or even the food production segment, having a paper with a satisfactory microbiological analysis report is a great aspect to be taken into consideration.
Another example would be of a restaurant or cosmetic clinic to define that the level of softness of the paper will be taken into account, since your customers value that aspect in your company.
Each parameter may or may not be important to the consumer and according to the level of importance for each aspect, the customer can establish minimum metrics that will guide their choice.
5. Choose by Consumer Business Segment
Some segments are big consumers of this product, with emphasis in the area of Health and Food. These are the largest Brazilian consumers of paper towel due to legal and technical sanitary requirements, as can be seen in this article . It is used intensively in areas of food preparation where we have included Anvisa's RDC 216 as a guideline for quality standards and mentions the need to use paper towels with virgin fibers. So the order here is to use products of higher quality level, combined with types that offer a more moderate consumption.
In the segment of bars, restaurants and snack bars its use, especially with high quality paper, ends up being an investment that brings return since the clients end up realizing the value of the cleaning through this type of product, as can be seen in this article of ours Blog.
The hospital segment, in general, is not left behind at this level of choice, since hospital infection is a major villain of these environments and having proper cleaning products like high-quality towel paper makes a big difference.
Other segments that consume large volumes are the industrial, commercial, condominiums, schools, shopping malls, airports, supermarkets, among others.
Depending on the business segment that will consume the product, the combination of quality, type and price will make all the difference in the choice.
6. Choose By Paper Towel Mark
This can be a great option, since it guarantees a stable standard of quality and avoids problems arising from lack of products, quality alternation, complaints from customers and employees, among other issues that can directly impact monthly expenses.
Some manufacturers produce their own dispensers, as is the case with Improvements, which produces the paper to use on your paper.
The Brazilian market is very well constituted in relation to the brands and nothing owes to the world market.
The world's leading players are present from north to south across the country through its network of distributors, dealers and wholesalers.
Among the major brands, we have the institutional market leader, Industria CMPC, which acquired Papermaking factories in 2009. The brand used in the Brazilian market is the same throughout Latin America, ELITE PROFESSIONAL , with its various certifications of quality, which guarantee the high standard desired.
In this market it is possible to find Tissue Manufacturers and Converters that pack their products in smaller quantities than those indicated on the labels or even use labels without legal minimum information . Such a criminal practice has a direct impact on companies' monthly expenses and ultimately deceives consumers who choose exclusively for price, and sometimes avoid well-known brands because they feel they are expensive.
