Facial cleansing towels and disposable kitchen wipes sit at opposite ends of the same product family — one for skincare and makeup removal, the other for household cleaning — but both are compact, high-volume non-woven products where fold size and material choice drive most of the production decisions. Both can be produced on the same YWJ-AF Pro folding machine covered in our complete technical guide; this article focuses on how to configure that machine for each product.
Why These Two Products Are Grouped Together
Facial cleansing towels and kitchen wipes are both smaller-format products compared to items like bath towels, which makes them a natural fit for the YWJ-AF Pro’s compact fold range. The main differences between them come down to material weight and fold size rather than the folding mechanism itself.
Fold Size Selection
The YWJ-AF Pro series is available in reference configurations from 50×50mm up to 100×100mm folded size, though as a non-standard machine, exact dimensions are configured to your product spec rather than limited to those references.
- Facial cleansing towels are typically packaged as single-use sheets in compact travel or daily-use packs, so a smaller folded size — toward the 50×50mm reference end — is usually the better starting point, minimizing packaging bulk for retail or amenity kit formats.
- Kitchen wipes are handled and unfolded by the user more like a cleaning cloth than a wipe sheet, so a larger unfolded working area is often preferred — this points toward the 75×75mm or 100×100mm reference range, giving the user more usable surface once unfolded.
Material Considerations for Facial Cleansing Towel Manufacturing
Both products use the same 30–80 gsm cross-lapped or semi-cross-lapped spunlace non-woven material range as the base machine, but the two applications generally pull from different ends of that range:
- Facial cleansing towels prioritize a soft, skin-friendly feel, which typically favors lighter-weight material within the applicable range
- Kitchen wipes need to withstand grease, moisture, and repeated wiping motion during use, which typically favors a heavier, more durable material within the same range
The exact weight for either product depends on your target market’s price point and durability expectations, and should be confirmed against your specific material supplier’s product line.
