How to Choose the Right Tissue Paper for Hotels and Resorts
Introduction
When sourcing tissue paper for hotels and resorts, businesses must strike a balance between customer comfort, operational efficiency, and sustainability. Whether you supply jumbo roll toilet paper, soft facial tissues, or branded hospitality packs, choosing the right specs is key to long‑term satisfaction. In this guide, we cover essential criteria to help international buyers make the best choice.
1. Consider Guest Traffic & Dispenser Compatibility
- High‑traffic environments (e.g., large resorts or public washrooms) benefit from jumbo roll dispensers to reduce refills and minimize maintenance.
- For boutique hotels or guest rooms, standard facial tissue packs or C‑fold hand towels may be more appropriate.
- Ensure your products are compatible with existing dispensers or offer customized dispensers as part of the OEM solution
2. Choose the Right Ply, GSM & Paper Type
- Ply count matters: 2‑ply is the industry standard, offering a balance of softness and strength; 3‑ply is ideal for luxury settings, while 1‑ply suits high‑volume, cost‑sensitive areas.
- Weight (GSM): 20–30 GSM is typical for commercial bath tissue; lightweight facial tissue may be 12–15 GSM, while premium tissue exceeds 35 GSM for extra durability and absorbency.
3. Prioritize Softness, Absorbency & Strength
- Mid- and high-end guests expect soft, strong tissue. Facial tissues should feel gentle yet resilient.
- Wet strength additives (e.g. PAE resins) help prevent tearing and maintain integrity under use — essential in high-touch areas.
4. Sustainability & Certifications
- Eco-conscious hotels increasingly prefer bamboo pulp, recycled fiber, or mixed pulp options. These reduce environmental impact while satisfying green credentials.
- Request certificates such as FSC, PEFC, Ecolabel or chlorine-free labels to validate supply chain integrity and environmental compliance.
5. Total Cost of Ownership & Supply Reliability
- Assess cost per use—higher‑ply tissues may reduce consumption and require fewer restocks, lowering long‑term cost
- Choose suppliers with stable logistics, predictable lead‑times, transparent MOQs, and flexible order terms—especially vital for exports to Australia or Malaysia.
6. OEM Customization & Value-Added Services
- Clarify requirements: product type, roll size, ply count, pulp material, and packaging style (e.g., custom boxed facial tissues, branded jumbo rolls)
- A reliable OEM partner should support from raw material selection through design, production, and packaging to logistics. Ask for previous client case studies or export country references.
✅ Conclusion & Next Steps
Choosing the right tissue supplier involves more than price. Consider guest experience, product performance, eco credentials, and logistics reliability. You should look for:
- 2–3 ply, medium‑GSM tissue tailored to usage context
- Certified eco‑friendly materials (bamboo, recycled pulp)
- OEM flexibility for branding and packaging
- Proven export experience to Australia and Malaysia
