Let’s delve into these considerations to help you make the best choice for your workplace.
1. HOW MANY USERS?
Before making decisions about brands & types, you need to determine which quantity you need to order your paper in.
Standard Roll: Picture your typical, household-sized roll. Ideal for smaller workplaces with fewer users, standard rolls offer convenience and ease of use. They are typically compact and fit well in most dispensers.
Jumbo Roll: Suited for public environments like universities and large offices, jumbo rolls accommodate a larger number of users before requiring replacement. They are cost-effective and reduce the frequency of refills.
Hygienic/Interfolded: Designed for maximum efficiency in high-capacity settings. They offer individual sheets for improved hygiene and reduce waste.

2. DISPENSER TYPE
It is likely that your facility already has dispensers installed. A quick check in your bathroom stalls should give you an idea of whether you need to order a specific brand of paper.
Proprietary vs. Universal: Some toilet tissue brands offer proprietary– or “brand specific”– dispensers designed for only their products. While these dispensers may offer certain advantages, they can limit your choice of paper. Universal dispensers accommodate various roll sizes and configurations.

Core vs. Coreless: Dispensers may come with traditional core holders or feature coreless designs. Coreless options reduce waste and maintenance hassles, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

3. PLY
Strength: Consider the strength of the toilet tissue, especially in high-traffic areas where durability is essential to prevent tearing or ripping during use.
Comfort: Balance strength with comfort by choosing a toilet tissue that provides a soft and gentle feel for users. Ply options vary from single-ply to ultra-soft multi-ply varieties.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Eco-Friendly Options: Look for toilet tissues made from recycled materials or those certified by recognized eco-labels. Additionally, consider products with minimal packaging to reduce environmental impact further.
Sustainability Practices: Research the manufacturer’s sustainability practices, such as responsible sourcing of materials and energy-efficient production methods, to make an environmentally conscious choice.

5. COST
While pricing is a significant consideration, it shouldn’t be the sole determining factor. Assess the overall value, considering factors such as durability, comfort, and environmental impact, to make a well-informed decision.
Cost-Efficiency: Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different toilet tissue options, considering factors such as roll size, ply, and dispenser compatibility. While upfront costs are important, also factor in long-term savings and benefits.
Value for Money: Balance pricing with quality to ensure you’re getting the best value for your investment. Cheaper options may compromise on durability and comfort, leading to frequent replacements and potential dissatisfaction among users.
