Tissue paper industry has become a promising investment option for entrepreneurs in Nepal. Unlike some other industries, all the raw materials required for the production of tissue papers can be sourced locally from Nepal. Combined with Nepal's labor force, the resulting tissue paper products are truly "Made in Nepal".
Tissue paper products have become an essential part of modern daily life, serving households, offices, hospitals, educational institutions, hotels, restaurants, and various commercial establishments. Products such as toilet paper, facial tissues, paper napkins, kitchen towels, and pocket tissues are widely used throughout the year, regardless of the season. All the tissue paper products are manufactured from jumbo tissue rolls. Depending on the desired product type, manufacturers can acquire specialized machines for napkin production, facial tissue production, or toilet roll conversion.
With the availability of semi-automatic and fully automatic tissue paper machines, entrepreneurs can establish production units ranging from small-scale local operations to medium-sized manufacturing facilities. Modern machines offer features such as automatic counting, embossing, folding, printing, perforation, and packaging support, enabling manufacturers to improve productivity while maintaining consistent product quality. The increasing demand for hygienic paper products and growing emphasis on promoting "Made in Nepal" products can foster a promising industry for willing entrepreneurs.
This article discusses about the process for tissue paper production and various machines available in Nepal for tissue paper production.
The process for manufacturing of tissue involves a series of operations that convert jumbo tissue rolls into specific-size finished consumer products. The quality of the product depends on the quality of paper, presence or absence of embossed patterns, the finishing i.e. the smoothness of cut and the packaging.
