What is tissue paper? There is everything to learn

 With winter on us, you may find yourself adding tissue to your shopping list to help with colds. But tissue paper is also a wonderful gift wrap material, as well as offering exceptional packaging protection for delicate or sensitive items.

In today's post, we are focusing entirely on tissue paper which can be used to protect some less delicate items in transportation and is usually used to add decoration and color to gifts. We will explore the history, as well as how it is made and sold in the UK.



What is tissue paper really?

So to give a direct answer to what tissue paper is, it is a super lightweight paper type, usually made from the pulp of recycled paper. The term 'tissue paper' covers a wide range of different products including paper towels, toilet tissue, facial tissues, wrapping tissues, and many more.

So let's get started - when was tissue paper invented? This is not a straightforward question to answer as it is not well documented. Paper was first used as a wrapping and padding material in China in the 2nd century BC. Over time, product wrapping and freight became important for trade and the world economy, so the thick paper used for wrapping and protection, evolved into the Facial Napkin paper we know and use today. There are lots of other things that are suitable for the safety of goods in transportation, for more take a look at our safety packaging range.

It is not known exactly who invented the tissue paper, but the development of this material can be traced back to the discovery of toilet tissue by Joseph Gayetti in 1857, who used a similar production process.

How is tissue paper made?

To understand how tissue paper is made, we must start from scratch and ask what is tissue paper made of? It is made using paper pulp (wood fiber) or recycled paper materials such as cardboard, newspapers, or some type of juice can. The wet pulp is then rolled on a paper machine until the required thickness is obtained. It is dried in a large steam portion of the machine and rolled on large cylinders called logs ready to be cut into shapes.

Sometimes this popular material can become acidic and brittle as it ages. This acidity can damage sensitive items stored inside, such as clothes and books. It is made of acid-free face tissue box paper.

But what exactly is acid-free tissue paper and how does it differ from standard tissue?

Acid-free tissue paper is typically processed without certain agents, unlike standard tissue paper made with agents that can become acidic over time. This makes it ideal for storing products or items such as jewelry, fabrics, crockery, jewelry, and antiques.

You may be wondering if all tissue paper is acid-free? Just say no - both types of tissues are available and used for different purposes. Acid-free tissue paper has a wide range of uses with more delicate or delicate items, although the use of standard tissue paper includes a wide range of uses for general wrapping, bottle wrapping, gift boxes, and fillers for gift bags as well as craftsmanship. Can be done for many things. .

Tissue paper unboxing is a relatively inexpensive way to brighten up the experience, adding another layer of excitement to a gift-giving theater. The wide range of colors and finishes available makes it perfect for any occasion from weddings to birthdays, Christmas, and beyond!



What is the difference between crepe paper and tissue paper?

However the difference between very similar materials, crepe paper, and tissue paper starts in the manufacturing process. Crepe paper begins life in the form of tissue paper, then a thin layer of adhesive is applied to the tissue paper and scraped with a blade. This creates a cohesive, crushed effect. Crepe paper is often used in crafting and is also supported for a variety of tapes, including masking tape and electrical tape.

What is a tissue paper rim?

You've probably heard the word - "rim", but what is a tissue paper rim and what does it mean? A rim is a unit of paper in which the sheets are of the same size and quality. Reims in the UK is regulated by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to ensure that manufacturers and retailers sell the same amount of paper in a single rim. But how many sheets are there is a rim of tissue paper? The international standard for a single rim of tissue paper is 480 sheets.

With 480 sheets in a rim, you might be wondering how much a facial napkin tissue paper weighs? One rim weighs about 3 x 1 liter of water bottles. We also sell our cut tissue paper in 3kg boxes, although you can buy it in different weights according to your chosen retailer.
