Napkins: mainly used in restaurants and hotels. It is used instead of cloth napkins. The colors are white, printed and dyed. There are certain quality requirements for dry and wet strength, surface smoothness and strength. The softness is also good. One of its special requirements is stiffness, which is easy to fold in various styles. Restaurants and hotels basically use raw pure wood pulp to produce, but many fast food restaurants mostly use natural and recycled pulp to reduce costs.


Facial tissue: Used for wiping face, mainly for wiping face and hands in daily life. Because it is mainly in contact with the skin, the paper should be soft and delicate, clean and smooth, and not irritate the skin. It has low requirements for absorbability, but it should not be shed or broken. When in production, in order to make it have good smoothness and softness, short fibers are the main raw material. Only virgin pulp can be used instead of recycled pulp. If the strength is to increase, it can be beaten appropriately. Generally, in order to improve the smoothness of the paper surface, it will be calendered. Be careful not to add fluorescent whitening agent. This will cause great harm to the human body and affect health.

Hand towels: Towels are disposable sanitary products in household paper, also known as hand wipes; usually, they are rarely used at home and are mainly used in public toilets to provide people with a hand-wiping effect. Its water absorption performance is better, so that people can quickly dry their hands with a small amount of paper, thereby reducing the cost. Not only the water absorption is good, but also the corresponding initial wet strength, so that people will pull the paper out of the carton when the hands are wet, and there will be no tearing. Generally, high-end places will use pure virgin wood pulp, which has good water absorption, soft paper, and is more comfortable to use. Public places and other places use low-grade raw materials to produce paper in order to reduce costs. Different occasions have different requirements for paper.
