Complete guide: Paper towel (Napkin) recycled paper Z 21X24CM 200PCS
Recycled paper towels (wipes) with Z-fold are the essential consumable for the work area in any tattoo or piercing studio — they are used to remove excess ink, blood, and other fluids during the session. The set contains 200 sheets measuring 21.6×24 cm, made from 2-ply recycled paper. The Z-fold allows you to pull out one wipe at a time from the dispenser without touching the rest of the stack — a detail that matters for work area hygiene.
How to use
- Load the wipes into the wall or table dispenser with Z-fold, following the fold direction of the pack, so that each extracted sheet automatically pulls the next one into position.
- Open the sealed pack just before loading, not long before, and handle it with clean hands or gloves.
- During the session, pull out one wipe at a time from the dispenser and use it with dabbing motions, not rubbing, to wipe off excess ink, blood, or other fluids from the treated skin.
- Do not reuse the same wipe on different areas of the skin or after it has touched an unsanitized surface — change it with each wipe.
- Dispose of the used wipe immediately according to your studio's waste disposal procedures.
- If you want to use the wipes also for cleaning work surfaces or dabbing disinfectant solutions, keep a separate set from the one intended for skin to avoid cross-contamination.
- Check the stock in the dispenser periodically and refill in advance, so you don't run out in the middle of a session.
Tips from us
- Store the pack in a dry place, away from moisture and contaminants in the work environment.
- Rotate stock using the FIFO principle (first in, first out) so that opened packs don't sit for long before use.
- Keep a dispenser dedicated exclusively to the skin work area, separate from the one used for surfaces, if you work with both.
- With 200 pieces per pack and a typical consumption of about 10–20 wipes per session, you can easily estimate how many sessions a pack covers and when to reorder.
- Check your dispenser's dimensions (21.6×24 cm, Z-fold) in advance before ordering multiple packs to make sure they fit.
Warning: The wipes are a single-use consumable — each piece is used once and then discarded, not reintroduced into the dispenser. They are absorbent wipes, not a sterile or disinfectant product, so they do not replace antiseptic solutions or protective barriers used during tattooing. For the skin work area, follow your studio's hygiene and waste disposal protocols.
Frequently asked questions
How many tattoo sessions does a pack of 200 pieces cover?▾
It depends on the duration and complexity of each job. On average, between 10 and 20 wipes are used per session, so a pack of 200 pieces can cover approximately 10–20 standard sessions. For a studio with constant activity, it's useful to have multiple packs in stock.
How do I properly store the paper towels in the studio?▾
Keep them in a dry place, away from moisture and contaminants in the work environment. Leave the packaging intact until loading into the dispenser and rotate stock using the FIFO principle, always using the packs that were opened earlier first.
Do they fit any towel dispenser?▾
The 21.6×24 cm size with Z-fold is compatible with most standard wall or table dispensers used in tattoo and piercing studios. However, check your dispenser's dimensions before ordering to make sure it fits.
Why does the Z-fold matter for these towels?▾
The Z-fold allows you to pull out one wipe at a time without touching the rest of the stock in the dispenser. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination between unused wipes, an important aspect in the studio environment.
Can I use these wipes also for cleaning work surfaces, not just the skin?▾
Yes, they are versatile and can be used both for wiping the skin and for cleaning work surfaces or dabbing disinfectant solutions. However, we recommend keeping separate sets for skin and surfaces to avoid cross-contamination.
Are recycled paper towels as good as those made from virgin paper?▾
They are made from 2-ply recycled paper, with good absorbency for the fluids encountered during tattooing, while also being a more sustainable choice for the studio.
Product description
Paper towel (Napkin) ZThe towels are made of 2-layer recycled paper. Quantity: 200 sheets Dimensions: 21.6X24cm
Z-fold recycled paper towels, 21x24 cm size, 200-piece set, are an essential consumable for any tattoo and piercing studio. The Z-fold design allows individual extraction of each towel from the dispenser, ensuring maximum hygiene and preventing cross-contamination between unused towels. The generous 21x24 cm dimension provides ample surface area for wiping residual ink, blood, and body fluids during tattoo sessions. The quality recycled paper offers excellent absorbency, rapidly capturing liquids without disintegrating or leaving residues on the skin surface. The towel texture is delicate enough not to irritate sensitized skin in the work area, yet strong enough for repeated wiping. The 200-piece set ensures adequate stock for multiple tattoo sessions, reducing restocking frequency. Using recycled paper demonstrates the studio's commitment to sustainability without compromising quality and functionality. Compatible with most standard Z-fold towel dispensers, these towels integrate easily into the professional studio workflow. The manufacturing process ensures quality consistency in every package, providing the same absorbency and moisture resistance from the first to the last towel. The paper weight is optimized to offer the ideal balance between absorbency and material economy. The towels can also be used as a support for placing sterile instruments on the work table during procedures. Purchasing in 200-piece sets optimizes studio operational costs, reducing per-unit price and restocking frequency.
Frequently Asked Questions Why is Z-fold important for studio towels? Z-fold allows extraction of one towel at a time without touching other towels in the dispenser. This prevents cross-contamination, a critical aspect in the studio environment. It is the standard in the medical and aesthetic industry for infection control. Are these towels absorbent enough for tattoo sessions? Yes, the quality recycled paper offers excellent absorption capacity for liquids encountered during tattooing. The towels rapidly capture ink, blood, and exudates without disintegrating. The 21x24 cm size provides sufficient surface for efficient wiping. How many tattoo sessions does a 200-piece set cover? The number of sessions depends on the duration and complexity of each work. On average, between 10 and 20 towels are used per session. A 200-piece set can cover approximately 10 to 20 standard tattoo sessions. Are they compatible with standard dispensers? Yes, the 21x24 cm Z-fold size is compatible with most standard wall or table dispensers. This universal compatibility facilitates integration into any studio environment. Check your dispenser dimensions to confirm exact compatibility. Is recycled paper as good as virgin paper for studio use? Yes, modern quality recycled paper offers comparable performance to virgin paper in terms of absorbency and strength. Current recycling processes produce clean, safe paper for use in professional environments. Additionally, choosing recycled paper reduces the studio's ecological footprint. Do the towels leave lint on freshly tattooed skin? These towels are manufactured to minimize lint production during use. The texture is designed to be functionally smooth without leaving fibers on the skin surface. For final cleaning of the tattooed area, dabbing motions rather than rubbing are recommended. How should paper towels be properly stored in the studio? Store towels in a dry location, away from moisture and contaminants in the work environment. Keep the packaging intact until loading into the dispenser. Rotate stock according to the FIFO principle to ensure product freshness. Can I use these towels for cleaning work surfaces too? Yes, paper towels are versatile and can be used both for skin wiping and work surface cleaning. Their absorbency is sufficient to capture disinfectant solutions applied to surfaces. Use separate towels for skin and surfaces to prevent cross-contamination. What size is optimal for tattoo studio towels? The 21x24 cm size is considered optimal for studio use, providing sufficient surface area without waste. It is large enough for efficient work area wiping but compact enough for one-handed handling. This dimension is the industry standard. Why choose Z-fold towels instead of rolls? Z-fold towels offer controlled dispensing, one towel at a time, reducing waste and contamination. Rolls require touching the unused surface to tear a portion, increasing contamination risk. In the studio environment, maximum hygiene is a priority, making Z-fold the superior choice.
