Guide to Industrial Tissue Dispensers

Provide your customers with convenient hygiene products with industrial tissue dispensers
By Lisa Wilsbacher

Restroom tissue dispensers are a commonly overlooked but immensely important product. The best customer experience can be ruined by an unsatisfactory restroom. Access to quality and well stocked washroom tissue dispensers can give your customers a sense that your commitment to their needs doesn't stop at the washroom door.

While it may seem like a low priority, your choice of industrial tissue dispensers has an impact on your business. The restroom's use is essential, and a bad experience while there will reflect badly on your business as a whole. To best fit your restroom's dispensers to your business, keep the following things in mind:

Use paper towel toilet tissue dispensers that match your traffic volume.
Take design into account.
Don't overlook the need for facial tissue dispensers.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Ensure your commercial bathroom tissue dispensers fit your traffic volume While it may be tempting to go for the largest capacity dispensers, you need to take the cost of keeping them stocked into account as well. For example, if your restroom sees a low amount of traffic, a dispenser that houses two or three regular sized rolls of toilet paper may be your most cost effective choice. If, however, your business sees a lot of restroom usage, you may want to use a dispenser that houses a jumbo roll.

I recommend: UnoClean offers a range of basic dispensers, perfect for low volume restrooms. Grainger offers a wide array of basic and high capacity dispensers to meet most restroom needs.

Match the design of your restroom tissue dispenser to the rest of your business Your restrooms are an extension of your business. If your business has a certain ambiance, you don't want your customers to be jarred by walking into an industrial-looking bathroom. By the same token, if you have a restroom with a high volume and more wear and tear, you may want to make durability a priority over aesthetics.

I recommend: Fastenal offers basic, industrial-type dispensers in chrome, gray, and smoke colors. SunCoDirect offers a wide range of dispenser styles to fit practically any type of restroom decor. Reliable Paper offers a touchless automatic dispenser to round out your offering of automatic dispensers.

Remember to offer your customers a facial tissue dispenser While paper towel dispensers and toilet paper dispensers are often the products that come to mind when thinking about stocking your restrooms, facial tissue can be an advantageous addition as well. A facial tissue dispenser is a convenient and useful addition for your customers, while deterring them from using up your paper towel and toilet paper supplies for their facial needs.

I recommend: Wholesale Replacement Hardware Co. offers a range of stainless steel facial tissue dispensers to fit most tissue box types. AmeraProducts offers wall mounted, recessed, and stand alone facial tissue dispenser models.
