The Complete Guide to Tissue Packing Machines: Types, Selection, and Turnkey Solutions

Wenzhou Wimach Machinery Co., Ltd., established in 2021, is a manufacturer specializing in packaging solutions for folded tissues, rolled tissues, and blister packaging applications. The company is located at Bldg 14 Qiaomao Rd, Ruian, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China, with a manufacturing facility covering 3000 m². With an R&D team of 5 engineers and an annual production capacity of 160 sets, WIMACH provides dedicated packaging solutions for tissue products. This guide covers the key types of tissue packing machines, how to select the right equipment, and what turnkey options are available for different tissue products.

Problem Definition: Why Automate Tissue Packaging?

Manual or semi-automated tissue packaging leads to inconsistent output, higher labor costs, and slower line speeds. As global demand for tissue products grows — the global tissue paper packaging machines market was valued at USD 273.8 million in 2023 and projected to reach USD 433.7 million by 2032 — manufacturers increasingly seek automated, reliable packing solutions. Automatic tissue packaging machines held a dominant market share of 58.3% in 2025, reflecting the shift toward unmanned, data-driven production lines. A dedicated tissue packing machine addresses these challenges by providing consistent speed, precise handling, and minimal manual intervention.

Industry Background

Asia Pacific is the largest regional market for tissue packaging machinery, capturing 42.6% of global revenue in 2025. The cartoning machinery segment, applicable to facial tissues and napkins, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% reaching USD 8.7 billion by 2035. Packaging machinery in the EU must comply with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and is transitioning to the new EU Machinery Regulation (2023). WIMACH’s machines are CE certified, meeting the compliance requirements for European and other regulated markets. The company exports 60% of its production to EU, North America, and South America.

Step-by-Step Breakdown: A Typical Tissue Packaging Line

Using the Facial Tissue Box Packaging Line as an example, a fully automatic turnkey solution connects all post-production steps:

1. Cartoning: Facial tissues are conveyed to a tissue cartoning machine (e.g., TC-100 or TC-300) which forms cartons and loads tissues. Maximum speed: up to 100 boxes/min for TC-100, up to 180 boxes/min for TC-300.
2. Shrink Wrapping: Boxed tissues pass through a box shrink wrapping machine for protective film wrapping.
3. Handle Taping: Optional handle taping machine adds handles to cartons for retail readiness.
4. Case Packing: Finished cartons are packed into shipping cases by a case packer (top-load or side-load). Maximum case packing speed: 10 cases/min.
5. Palletizing: Sealed cartons are stacked on pallets by an automatic palletizer. Maximum palletizing speed: 10 cycles/min.
6. Stretch Wrapping: Fully loaded pallets are stretch-wrapped for stable transportation and storage.

All equipment operates in coordination with minimal manual intervention, and the line can be customized to match factory layout and output requirements.
