Napkins are one of the highest-volume converted tissue products, and every printed or embossed napkin starts with a napkin parent roll. If you run a napkin folding or printing line, the parent roll determines finished quality and how many sellable napkins you get per ton. This guide explains what a napkin parent roll is, its real specs and yield, how it is converted, and how to choose the right reel.
A napkin parent roll (also called napkin base paper or a napkin jumbo roll) is a large, unfinished reel of napkin tissue base paper that converters feed into napkin folding and printing lines. It is an intermediate product; the same base paper can become dinner, luncheon, cocktail or dispenser napkins.
