B2B procurement · Buyer guide
A facial tissue supplier should inspect the first accessible sheets from sealed production-intent boxes, not only loose tissue before boxing. Open boxes from different cartons, document where the carton glue seam and dispensing window sit relative to the stack, then compare the first sheets with sheets deeper in the box. Record visible spots, tack, odor or torn fibers separately. A mark on a sheet does not prove adhesive transfer until its location and cause are checked.
This is a packaging-contact investigation for boxed facial tissue. It does not claim a Sansheng glue-stain incident or a completed migration test.

Direct answer
A facial tissue supplier should inspect the first accessible sheets from sealed production-intent boxes, not only loose tissue before boxing. Open boxes from different cartons, document where the carton glue seam and dispensing window sit relative to the stack, then compare the first sheets with sheets deeper in the box. Record visible spots, tack, odor or torn fibers separately. A mark on a sheet does not prove adhesive transfer until its location and cause are checked.
Map where adhesive can contact tissue
Request the box dieline, glue pattern and stacking orientation. The facial tissue supplier should show whether the first sheets can touch a wet seam, window-film bond or fold-over flap during box forming. Keep an approved empty box and tissue stack so a later layout change can be recognized. Do not assume every top-sheet mark came from glue.
Inspect sealed boxes after realistic handling
Sample unopened boxes from multiple cartons and, when storage is part of the complaint, keep matched control boxes. Record storage condition, orientation and age before opening. Photograph the first-pull position, then remove several sheets without touching the suspected mark. Inspect under consistent light and compare with deeper sheets from the same box.
Separate transfer from other marks
Classify color stain, gloss spot, tack, fiber pull, print setoff and dust separately. Check whether the mark aligns with a seam or window-film edge and whether it recurs at the same position. If adhesive chemistry or skin-contact safety is in question, request the identified adhesive specification and an appropriate specialist assessment rather than inferring safety from appearance.
Write a packaging release check
The facial tissue supplier should define an allowable visual condition, first-sheet sampling plan and hold rule with the buyer. Recheck after glue type, application rate, box board, window film, stack height or line speed changes. Retain the marked sheet, box and lot code together; an isolated photo without a box ID is weak evidence for a supplier investigation.
Buyer comparison record
| Check | Record | Buyer purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Box layout | Seam, window and stack orientation | Find plausible contact |
| Sample | Sealed boxes from named cartons | Avoid loose-sheet bias |
| Observation | Spot, tack, odor and fiber pull | Describe the defect |
| Trace | Sheet, box and lot code | Investigate recurrence |
What should buyers ask the facial tissue supplier?

Questions buyers also ask
Is every first-sheet mark a glue stain?
No. Align the mark with box construction and rule out print transfer, dust and handling.
Can loose tissue samples answer this question?
No. The concern arises after the tissue is placed and sealed in a box.
Does a clean first pull establish adhesive safety?
No. Visual cleanliness and chemical safety are different questions requiring appropriate evidence.
