How to Choose Paper Towel and Dispensers for Your Building

The wrong paper towel and dispenser combination can lead to waste, overflowing bins, and frustrated building users. The right combination keeps washrooms cleaner, reduces waste, and controls your costs.

1. Start with Traffic Level

Ask a simple question: how many people use this washroom or area in a day?

Higher traffic usually benefits from roll towel and controlled-use dispensers to reduce overuse and refilling.

2. Roll vs. Folded Paper Towel

Folded towel (C-fold, multi-fold) is simple to use and fits many older dispensers, but can lead to people grabbing multiple towels at once. Roll towel in a controlled-use dispenser provides one measured length at a time, helping reduce waste in busy areas.

3. Matching Towels to Dispensers

Not all towels fit all dispensers. Each dispenser is designed for specific towel types and sizes. When you select a towel, make sure it is listed as compatible with your dispenser model.

If you are unsure which towel matches your existing dispensers, Papermake can help identify compatible SKUs and recommend suitable alternatives.

4. Consider Cost-in-Use, Not Just Price Per Case

A lower-cost towel may seem attractive, but can lead to:

A better quality roll towel in a controlled-use dispenser often reduces overall consumption, even if the price per case is slightly higher.

5. Ask Papermake for Recommendations

Every building is different. If you tell us about your washrooms, number of users, and any existing dispensers, we can recommend a paper towel and dispenser combination that balances cost, performance, and user experience.
