Standard Pocket Tissue Production Lines and Equipment Selection

Standard Pocket Tissue Production: Format Selection and Line Configuration

Standard pocket tissues are portable, individually wrapped tissue packs designed for everyday retail and personal-care markets. Compared with mini formats, standard packs generally provide a larger folded tissue, a higher sheet count, or a thicker finished pack.

Common Product Formats

Standard pocket tissues may be produced from two-ply, three-ply, or four-ply tissue. Finished products can vary in unfolded sheet size, folded dimensions, sheets per pack, pack thickness, and film design.

The DB-HK series supports a standard format with a 210 × 210 mm unfolded tissue and a 105 × 53 mm folded tissue.

The DB-W-200P supports standard and portable pocket tissue products with unfolded dimensions of 175–200 × 175–200 mm, folded dimensions of 88–100 × 59–70 mm, and a broader range of sheets per pack.

These are two different standard product systems. The production line should therefore be selected according to the customer’s exact finished tissue and pack dimensions.

Application Scope

Standard pocket tissues are widely used for:

• Supermarkets and convenience stores
• Daily personal care
• Travel and commuting
• Hotels and hospitality
• Private-label retail products
• Promotional tissue packs
• Retail multipacks and family bundles

These applications generally require consistent tissue dimensions, accurate sheet counts, and an attractive finished package.

Production and Quality Requirements

Stable tissue-web feeding and tension control help maintain alignment between tissue plies. Folding and cutting accuracy affect the finished tissue dimensions, while counting consistency determines the number of sheets in every pack.

The primary packaging section should provide stable product insertion and sealing for the selected stack thickness. For larger production projects, the main line output should be matched with downstream bundling or case-packing capacity.

Standard Pocket Tissue Converting Equipment

The DOUBLE DB-W-200P Full Servo High-Speed Dual-Channel Pocket Tissue Production Line is designed for standard and portable pocket tissue products. It integrates jumbo-roll feeding, folding, cutting, stacking, and primary packaging, with a rated output of 160–200 packs per minute.

The DB-HK-220P Full Servo Dual-Channel Pocket Tissue Production Line is another option for standard pocket tissue production. It supports the DB-HK series standard format and has a rated output of 180–220 packs per minute.

The two lines should not be selected by speed alone. Tissue dimensions, sheet count, pack size, factory layout, and downstream packaging requirements should all be considered.

Selecting the Right Configuration

When planning standard pocket tissue production, buyers should confirm:

• Tissue ply and parent-roll specification
• Unfolded tissue dimensions
• Folded tissue dimensions
• Sheets per pack
• Finished pack size and thickness
• Target output
• Packaging-film specification
• Embossing, perforation, and labeling requirements
• Secondary bundling or case-packing requirements
• Factory layout and utility supply

DOUBLE Machinery can review these production requirements and recommend a suitable equipment configuration for the intended standard pocket tissue product.

To evaluate the right production line for your standard pocket tissue format, please share your finished tissue dimensions, sheets per pack, target output, parent-roll specification, factory layout, and downstream packaging requirements. DOUBLE Machinery will recommend a suitable equipment configuration based on your confirmed product parameters.
