Understanding the Quality of Paper Napkins
 
01/

Absorbency
Absorption capacity is a key feature of tissue papers. The amount of water absorbed by the wetted surface of the paper is measured as water absorbency. As a result, the best way to determine absorbency is to test it yourself. Keep in mind that higher absorbency does not always imply a superior quality.

02/

Thickness
The thickness of all forms of paper is measured in Grams per Square Metre (GSM). The lower the number, the thinner the paper. GSM is a numerical scale. Tissue paper usually has a weight of 10 to 35 GSM. Greeting cards are often 250+ GSM, while office printer paper is typically 70 to 100 GSM. Better the thickness, better the absorbency, and better capacity to withstand disintegration.

03/

Number of layers
The number of layers per sheet of tissue paper is referred to as the ply. For practically all types of tissue products, 1 ply, 2 ply, 3 ply, and even 4 ply are available in the retail market. In industrial consumption, however, this is more or less standardized. Toilet paper is always two-ply, facial tissues are two-ply, multifold or M-fold towels are one-ply, kitchen towels are one-ply, and table napkins are either one-ply or two-ply.

04/

Whiteness
Whiteness of tissue paper is not really a quality measure rather just an appearance measure. Whiteness only means more chemical bleaching has been done to the paper in order to achieve that whiteness and hence more environmental impact. Tissue paper doesn't necessarily have to be white in order to be soft and absorbent.

05/

Embossing
Embossing plays a crucial role in the overall appeal and quality of all tissue products. Embossing is required on all napkins. It gives 1-ply napkins structural stability and 2- and 3-ply napkins tissue layers adherence. Each engraved embossing roll is a work of art that necessitates a high level of knowledge and precision artisanship. It can take more than 100 hours to produce an engraved roll, which is often done by hand.

06/

Increased surface area
The embossed design generates a bigger surface area, which boosts the paper product's absorption rate.

07/

Enhanced texture
An embossed pattern, particularly a double-embossed pattern, gives the paper a softer feel.

08/

Improved Bonding
Multi-ply paper goods hold together rather than rip away thanks to the embossed pattern. An embossed paper product has a more fascinating appearance than a flat paper product in terms of aesthetic appeal.
