Party Printed Paper Napkins use 99.99% virgin wood pulp? What are the advantages compared with recycled pulp?

Our Party Printed Paper Napkins are made of 99.99% virgin wood pulp. Compared with recycled pulp paper towels, they have significant advantages in softness, cleanliness, safety, water absorption, etc., and are particularly suitable for high-demand scenes such as parties and catering.

1. Source and purity of raw materials
Virgin wood pulp: directly derived from natural wood (such as eucalyptus, pine, etc.), with long and complete fibers, and has not been repeatedly processed.

99.99% high purity, no impurities, no recycled residues, ensuring that paper towels are cleaner and more hygienic.

Recycled pulp (recycled pulp): made from waste paper (such as old newspapers, cartons, office paper, etc.) recycled and processed.

It may contain chemicals such as ink residues, glue, fluorescent brighteners, etc., and needs to be treated with strong bleaching and deinking.

Comparative advantages: virgin wood pulp does not require complex chemical treatment, avoids secondary pollution, and is more suitable for direct contact with skin and food.

2. Softness and comfort

Virgin wood pulp: The fibers are long and flexible, making the paper towels softer and skin-friendly, suitable for wiping hands, face or tableware.

After embossing, it still maintains a fluffy feeling, with a more advanced touch, which enhances the party experience.

Recycled pulp: The fibers are short and fragile, and the toughness decreases after multiple recycling, making the paper towels rougher and easy to shed.

It may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin due to bleach residue.

Comparative advantage: Virgin wood pulp is more suitable for high-end party scenes and provides a more comfortable touch.

3. Water absorption & strength
Virgin wood pulp: The fiber structure is complete, the water absorption is stronger, and it is not easy to break when wiping liquids (such as beverages and oil stains).

It still maintains a certain toughness after being wetted with water and is not easy to gelatinize.

Recycled pulp: Poor water absorption, easy to loosen or break when exposed to water.

Due to the low fiber strength, it may leave paper scraps or adhere to the surface of the object.

Comparative advantage: virgin wood pulp paper towels are more practical in party and catering scenarios, reducing embarrassing "paper tearing" situations.

4. Safety and hygiene
Virgin wood pulp: no risks of bacteria, ink, heavy metals, etc. of recycled waste paper.

Usually passes safety standards such as FDA (food contact grade) and EU AP certification, suitable for wrapping food or wiping tableware.

Recycled pulp: Chemical bleaching agents (such as fluorescent brighteners) may remain during the recycling process.

Some low-priced products do not meet hygiene standards, and long-term contact may affect health.

Comparative advantage: virgin wood pulp is safer, especially suitable for scenes such as children's parties and family gatherings.

5. Printing effect & aesthetics
Virgin wood pulp: The paper base color is whiter, the printed pattern has high color rendering, and the colors are bright and do not fade.

The surface is flat, suitable for complex and delicate party theme patterns (such as cartoons, hot stamping, etc.).

Recycled pulp: The paper is grayish, the printing effect is poor, and it may look cheap.

The ink has weak adhesion and is easy to smudge when wiping.

Comparative advantages: virgin wood pulp can better present the decorativeness of party paper towels and enhance the level of activities.

6. Comparison of environmental protection
Common misunderstanding: recycled pulp ≠ more environmentally friendly!

Virgin wood pulp: Although it comes from wood, high-quality brands will use raw materials certified by sustainable forests (such as FSC) to ensure environmentally friendly logging.

Recycled pulp: Although resource recycling is advocated, the bleaching and deinking processes in production may pollute the environment, and the number of recycling times is limited.

Conclusion: Both can be environmentally friendly, but virgin wood pulp is better in safety and quality.
