# Folded Paper Towel Supplier: How to Check Stack Skew?

B2B procurement · Buyer guide

A folded paper towel supplier should assess stack skew on the finished, packed towel stack, not on a few loose sheets. Measure edge offset at the top, middle and bottom after the pack is opened, then load the intended dispenser and observe feeding through a full refill cycle. A stack may look slanted yet still dispense; the buyer needs both an appearance limit and a functional result.

This method applies to an identified folded towel format and dispenser combination. It is a buyer-defined fit and handling check, not a Sansheng measurement or universal stack-skew standard.

## Direct answer

A folded paper towel supplier should assess stack skew on the finished, packed towel stack, not on a few loose sheets. Measure edge offset at the top, middle and bottom after the pack is opened, then load the intended dispenser and observe feeding through a full refill cycle. A stack may look slanted yet still dispense; the buyer needs both an appearance limit and a functional result.

## Lock the towel and pack format

Record fold type, open and folded dimensions, sheet count, pack compression, wrap and carton orientation. Select packs from different case positions and retain the approved reference. The folded paper towel supplier should not compare a loosely restacked sample with the shipping pack that dispensers actually receive.

*Illustrative image: A stacked pack beside a ruler supports an edge-alignment record; no result is shown.*

## Measure the stack before reshaping it

Place the opened stack on a flat surface in its delivered orientation. Record top-to-bottom edge offset on both long and short sides, with photographs showing a scale. Note whether offset is uniform, stepped or limited to a few sheets. Measure several packs before tapping edges square; manual straightening can hide a repeat packing problem.

*Illustrative image: Inspection of a towel sheet is separate from measuring the delivered stack.*

## Observe loading and dispensing

Load an as-received stack into the specified dispenser. Record whether it seats without forcing, whether the opening presents the first sheet, and whether skew returns during mid-stack and near-empty pulls. Keep jams, double dispensing and torn sheets as separate outcomes. A good stack dimension does not guarantee proper interfolding or feeding.

## Set a meaningful acceptance rule

Agree an edge-offset range from a signed pack and an operational rule for loading and pulls. Include sample count across cartons and what happens when appearance fails but function passes. Reapprove if fold, sheet size, count, compression, wrapper or dispenser model changes. The folded paper towel supplier should provide pack and case IDs with the check.

## Buyer comparison record

| Check | Record | Buyer purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pack | Fold, count and compression | Match shipped format |
| Stack | Top/middle/bottom offset | Describe skew |
| Dispenser | Load and pull observations | Test buyer use |
| Release | Appearance and function limits | Avoid one-number approval |

## Questions buyers also ask

### Is every slanted stack unusable?

No. Test the agreed appearance limit and dispenser function separately.

### Can the supplier tap a stack square before inspection?

No. Record the delivered condition first, then investigate whether handling changes it.

### Does dispenser fit prove the stack is aligned?

No. Fit, alignment and dispensing are related but separate checks.
