Industrial paper rolls: what they are and how to read the format

What industrial format means, how to interpret length and ply count, and what to check before using a roll at work.

Industrial paper rolls: pack of two white 400 metre paper rolls
Paper rolls from the SIC Refinish catalogue. Check dimensions and pack contents on the product page.

An industrial paper roll provides paper for cleaning or drying tasks at a workstation. The word industrial does not identify a single performance level: products come with different dimensions, compositions and uses.

How to interpret a roll's description

Metres indicate length. Ply count describes the paper's construction. Width determines how wide each length is, and the core is the central tube. The pack quantity tells you how many rolls you are buying. Read these details together to avoid comparing one roll with a complete pack.

Which uses should be confirmed?

Check the reference's specifications before choosing it for a task. Do not assume every roll resists solvents, leaves no fibres or suits every surface. If your process needs specific performance, request the relevant documentation.

A format from the SIC Refinish catalogue

The pack of two 400 m paper rolls specifies two plies, a 23 cm width and 76 mm core. That is 800 metres per pack. To check an enclosed dispenser's fit, you also need the outer diameter.

The next step in choosing

If you know these terms, use the five-check guide to choosing your roll. Explore the industrial paper and wiping roll range or ask our team about the format you need.
