In the production process of pure water sanitary wipes, the selection of wet substrate is crucial. It usually adopts soft and highly absorbent non-woven fabric materials to ensure the comfort and cleaning effect of wet wipes. However, simply selecting high-quality wet substrates is not enough to meet the needs of the market. How to fold it into a compact and practical wet wipe is the problem that manufacturers need to solve.
Compared with the traditional folding in half, Z-folding has made innovations in structure. During the folding process, the wet substrate is folded alternately to the left and right sides to form a shape similar to the letter "Z". This folding method not only increases the number of layers of wet wipes, but also forms a tight stacking structure of wet wipes in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied by wet wipes in the package.
Specifically, Z-folding achieves the compactness of wet wipes in the following ways:
Increase in the number of layers: During the Z-folding process, the wet substrate is repeatedly folded to form a multi-layer stacking structure. This structure not only increases the thickness and durability of wet wipes, but also makes the wet wipes more compact in the package and reduces space waste.
Space utilization: Z-folded wet wipes present a three-dimensional structure in the package, and their space utilization rate is higher than that of flat stacked folded wet wipes. This not only reduces the consumption of packaging materials, but also reduces transportation costs, which meets the environmental protection and economic efficiency requirements of modern society.
Smooth extraction: When the Z-folded wet wipes are extracted, there is a certain gap between each layer, so that the wet wipes can slide out of the package easily and are not prone to adhesion. This design not only improves the user experience, but also reduces the waste and pollution caused by adhesion.
Although Z-folding has many advantages in structure, manufacturers also face many challenges in the actual production process. How to ensure that the wet substrate remains flat during the folding process, how to accurately control the number of folded layers and angles, and how to prevent the wet wipes from being damaged during the folding process all require manufacturers to conduct in-depth research and exploration.
In order to solve these problems, manufacturers usually take the following measures:
Optimize folding equipment: Use advanced folding equipment, such as automatic folding machines, precision cutting machines, etc. to ensure the flatness and accuracy of the wet substrate during the folding process. These devices not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce the difficulty and error of manual operation.
Precise control of folding parameters: By precisely controlling parameters such as the number of layers, angles and speed of folding, manufacturers can ensure that wet wipes maintain a stable structure and form during the folding process. These parameters can also be adjusted to meet the needs and preferences of different customers.
Strengthen quality inspection: During the folding process, manufacturers need to conduct strict quality inspections on wet wipes, including checking the flatness of the folds, the uniformity of the number of layers, the integrity of the edges, etc. This helps to promptly discover and solve potential quality problems and ensure the quality and safety of wet wipes.
As consumers' requirements for the quality and experience of pure water sanitary wipes continue to increase, Z-folding, as an innovative folding method, has gradually been widely used and recognized in the market. From baby care, feminine hygiene to household cleaning, outdoor travel and other fields, Z-folded wet wipes have shown their unique advantages and value.
In the field of baby care, Z-folded wet wipes are loved by parents because of their compact structure and easy-to-pull characteristics. This type of wet wipe is not only convenient to carry and store, but also can quickly provide cleaning and care services for babies when needed.
In the field of female hygiene, Z-folded wet wipes also have broad market prospects. As female consumers become more aware of personal hygiene and health, they have higher and higher requirements for the quality and experience of wet wipes. Z-folded wet wipes not only meet their needs for cleanliness and comfort, but also make them easier to carry and use due to their compact structure.
In the field of household cleaning and outdoor travel, Z-folded wet wipes also show their unique advantages. Whether it is daily cleaning at home or dealing with emergencies during outdoor travel, this type of wet wipe can provide convenient and efficient cleaning services. Its compact structure and easy-to-pull-out characteristics also make the wet wipes easier to handle and recycle after use.
