How to produce napkin paper?

Napkin Tissue Production Process: From Jumbo Roll to Packed Napkins

This walkthrough explains how a napkin tissue machine converts a jumbo roll into folded, counted, and packed napkins. Each stage below describes what happens to the paper and which machine section performs the work, so buyers can compare configurations against their own finished-product requirements.

1. Jumbo Roll Preparation

The jumbo roll is loaded onto the jumbo roll stand, which unwinds the parent reel and feeds the web into the converting line at a controlled tension.

2. Embossing

The paper passes through synchronized feeding rollers into the embossing rollers. The embossing roller configuration is either steel-to-wool or steel-to-steel, depending on the required embossing effect and paper grade.

3. Folding Process

• Vertical folding: a triangular guide plate folds the paper into two layers.
• Horizontal folding: adjustable folding rollers perform precise 1/4 folding (four horizontal folds) based on preset dimensions.

4. Cutting & Counting

The continuous folded paper is cut into individual napkins by a band saw, while a counter tracks output quantities.

5. Packaging

Napkins are packed manually or automatically into bags or boxes and sealed using heat-sealing machines.

Selection Notes for Buyers

When comparing napkin tissue machines, confirm the embossing roller type, folding format, and cutting method against the napkin size and pack style you plan to sell. For related equipment in the same converting family, see the napkin paper machine range, and review how the border embossing operation is set up on the napkin tissue machine.

Next Step

Send your finished napkin size, folding format, and target pack style so the machine configuration, embossing option, and packing flow can be matched to your production plan.
