Custom Wet Wipes Material Showdown: Adhesive vs Bamboo vs Pulp

For an OEM buyer, the base material on a custom wet wipes spec sheet decides more than hand feel. It decides which claims you can print on the pack, which retail channels will accept the SKU, which certification documents you must assemble, and how your reorder cycle will run. This guide compares the three non-woven directions available across the Sunfans custom wet wipes range — entirely adhesive, bamboo fiber, and biodegradable wood pulp — using named, verified models: baby wipes Y02, pet wipes C03, C04 and C05, with wet toilet paper S01 and S02 added as reference points for disintegration behavior and skin comfort.

Sunfans is the brand of Da lian Weijie Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a wet wipes manufacturer established in 2013 and based in Dalian, Liaoning, China. The company runs a 6,000 m² facility with a 10-person in-house R&D team, produces baby wipes, pet wipes, wet toilet paper, functional wipes, and floor dry and wet wipes, and exports about 70% of its output to markets including Japan, Australia, Canada, the United States, and Singapore.

Why the Material Line Is the First Locked Decision

Material selection is a locking decision because it removes options downstream. Once the material is fixed, five things become fixed with it:

• Claim language. A material designated as biodegradable wood pulp non-woven supports a different pack claim than a bamboo fiber or an entirely adhesive base.
• Format and size. Sheet dimensions are engineered around the substrate. Model C04, for example, is a 140 × 180 mm bamboo fiber pet wipe, while model C02 is a 200 × 200 mm entirely adhesive pet wipe — the size difference is not cosmetic.
• Certification path. Documents are tied to products and material families, not to a generic product name.
• Channel fit. Pet specialty, baby care, and household channels each ask for different shelf and claim profiles.
• MOQ and lead-time planning. Material change requests affect order quantity, tooling, and calendar.

Industry Background: Where Material Demand Is Actually Moving

Wet wipes demand is expanding, but not evenly across material types. The global wet wipes market was valued at approximately USD 32.09 billion in 2026, with a projected CAGR of 3.86% reaching USD 43.45 billion by 2034, according to Fortune Business Insights data. Within that total, the segments most sensitive to base-material choice are growing faster than the category average.

• The global baby wipes market was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% through 2030.
• The pet wipes market was valued at USD 1.58 billion in 2024, with a projected CAGR of 5.6% reaching USD 2.64 billion by 2033 (DataHorizzon Research).
• The global biodegradable wipes market reached over USD 3 billion in 2024, driven largely by baby wipes and premium retail segments.
• Flushable wipes were valued at USD 2.3 billion in 2025 and are projected to reach USD 4.2 billion by 2035 at a 6% CAGR (Global Market Insights).
• Personal care wipes held a 72.81% share of the global wet wipes market in 2025 (Mordor Intelligence).

Geography matters as much as category. Japan accounts for nearly 27% of the Asia-Pacific wet wipes market, with a strong emphasis on hygiene and premium personal care, and is projected to lead healthcare wipes growth with the highest CAGR through 2030. The U.S. accounted for 34% of the global wet wipes market in 2024, while North America holds roughly 50% of the pet wipes segment.

Market sizing varies by research house and base year, so treat these figures as directional rather than as a single agreed number. The compliance picture is firmer. Wet wipes sold in the EU must meet EN standards, including REACH for chemical compliance and BPR for biocidal claims. In China, disposable sanitary products — including wipes — fall under the Hygienic Standard for Disposable Sanitary Products. In the United States, FDA facility registration for cosmetic wipe manufacturers operates on a July 1, 2026 deadline under the newer regulatory framework, which is now in force and should already be reflected in your supplier documentation. ISO 9001 and ISO 22716 (GMP for cosmetics) remain the baseline certification questions OEM buyers raise during factory qualification.

The Three Material Directions, Model by Model

1. Entirely Adhesive Non-Woven: Baby Wipes Y02 and Pet Wipes C02

This is the most familiar base in the range. Baby wipes Y02 is a 150 × 200 mm sheet packed 100 pieces to a pack and targeted at infant care products, baby hygiene products, large department stores, and supermarkets. Pet wipes C02 uses the same material designation at a larger 200 × 200 mm sheet, also 100 pieces per pack, aimed at the pet products industry, the pet grooming and personal care segment, and large department stores and supermarkets.

For an OEM buyer, Y02 is the natural starting point for a Newborn Custom Wet Wipes or Mother & Baby Custom Wet Wipes program where the pack has to sit comfortably in both infant-specialist retail and mainstream grocery. C02 is the equivalent answer for a Pet Cleaning Custom Wet Wipes line that needs a bigger wipe for coat and paw work.

The ISO 9001:2015 certification held by the manufacturer covers wet wipes production within its licensed scope and, per the certificate record, names baby wipes Y02 among the covered products — one reason this material family is usually the fastest to clear a retailer’s document checklist.

2. Bamboo Fiber: Pet Wipes C03 and C04

Bamboo fiber is the second direction, and in this range it is applied to pet care. Pet wipes C03 is a 150 × 200 mm, 100-piece pack described as an English-version pet wet wipe, suited to the pet products industry, the pet grooming and personal care segment, and large department stores and supermarkets. Pet wipes C04 shifts both size and format: 140 × 180 mm, presented as the English version of pet wet toilet paper in a 100-sheet count.

The practical buying signal here is format logic rather than brand labeling. C03 fits a general-purpose grooming wipe. C04’s smaller 140 × 180 mm sheet and toilet-paper-style presentation suit a gentler, more frequent-use routine on sensitive areas, which is why buyers building a two-SKU pet line often pair them rather than choosing between them.

3. Biodegradable Wood Pulp Non-Woven: C05, S01, and S02

The third direction carries the strongest claim positioning. Pet wipes C05 is a 180 × 200 mm pet grooming glove format supplied in 04–10 piece packs, built on biodegradable wood pulp non-woven fabric. Wet toilet paper S01 is a 130 × 200 mm, 100-sheet roll-format product using the same biodegradable wood pulp non-woven fabric, listed for the pet products industry, large department stores, and the personal care products industry.

Wet toilet paper S02 completes the picture at 150 × 200 mm with 10 sheets per pack. Its defining documented property is that the material disintegrates into wood pulp cloth — the material behavior that matters for Custom Flushable Toilet Wet Wipes buyers and for home cleaning and general merchandise listings.

Reference Points: What S01 and S02 Add to the Comparison

S01 and S02 are not competing with the baby and pet wipes above — they are calibration tools. If you are comparing materials for disintegration behavior, S02 is the reference: a substrate that disintegrates into wood pulp cloth. If you are comparing materials for skin comfort, S01 and S02 represent the wood-pulp end of the range, and the application requirements used across this product set specify a gentle, plant-based formula free of alcohol, with fabrics that are gentle on the skin and free of irritating additives. That requirement applies whether the base is adhesive, bamboo fiber, or wood pulp — the formula and the fabric specification are separate decisions, and buyers should track them separately on the spec sheet.

Step-by-Step: How to Pick a Base Material for a Private Label Program

1. Write down the claim first. Decide whether the pack will carry a biodegradability reference or a flushable-style reference. Only the wood pulp family in this range carries documented biodegradable wood pulp non-woven fabric (C05, S01) or wood pulp cloth disintegration (S02).
2. Match format and size to the end user, not to your artwork. Baby and hand & mouth programs map to Y02 at 150 × 200 mm. General pet grooming maps to C03 at 150 × 200 mm. Sensitive-area pet care maps to C04 at 140 × 180 mm. Glove-format pet cleaning maps to C05 at 180 × 200 mm.
3. Check certification coverage per product, not per factory. The manufacturer holds ISO 9001:2015 certification number 0350125030471R1S, issued by Xingyuan Certification Centre Co., Ltd. on 12 June 2025 and valid to 6 June 2028, against GB/T 19001-2016 / ISO 9001:2015, covering production and service of wet wipes within the licensed scope. The certificate record names Kitchen wipes CF001, Pet wipes C02, and Baby wipes Y02.
4. Confirm the safety documentation for the specific SKU. The Pet Grooming Glove Wet Wipes for Dogs & Cats (Extra Thick Rinse-Free Cleaning Gloves) carries MSDS certification number BMi202605192227DG, issued by Zhuhai BMi Certification & Testing Co., Ltd. on 19 May 2026, valid to 20 May 2027, prepared according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 HCS, and applicable to the global market.
5. Align customization scope with material capabilities. Customization covers packaging, logo, material, size, aroma, and number of pieces, under an OEM/ODM model with a dedicated in-house R&D team.
6. Verify the production and QC chain before signing. The line is supported by automatic packaging and filling machines, EDI ultra-pure water equipment, a UV sterilization system, a Class 100,000 cleanroom, an in-house laboratory, and a pH meter, with material inspection, process inspection, and finished product inspection inside the plant, plus third-party authoritative laboratory support.

Two commercial numbers belong in step five and six planning: the listed MOQ is 20,000 yuan, and the standard lead time is 30 days against a monthly capacity of 3 million packages. Those three numbers — not the material name — usually determine whether a launch is realistic in a given quarter. Storage requirements should also be set on the retail or distribution contract from the start: cool, dry, shaded storage at room temperature, away from high temperatures, heat sources, and areas where moisture accumulates.

Use Cases: Matching Material to Buyer Type

Baby and maternity brand owners. A baby and maternity brand owner has run with this manufacturer for 5 years at 20 × 40-foot containers per month; the reported result is stable everyday cleaning with an environmentally aligned positioning. For this buyer profile, Y02 in entirely adhesive material at 150 × 200 mm, with infant care and baby hygiene positioning, is the direct match. A leading Amazon.com seller of baby products has run 4 years at 8 containers per month on the same manufacturer base.

Pet brands and pet e-commerce sellers. A top seller in pet supplies on Amazon.com has worked with the factory for 6 years at 8 containers per month. Pet Custom Wet Wipes programs at this scale typically split across C03 (150 × 200 mm bamboo fiber), C04 (140 × 180 mm bamboo fiber), and C05 (180 × 200 mm biodegradable wood pulp glove format) to cover grooming, sensitive-area care, and rinse-free cleaning in one line.

Retail and convenience channels. A Japan-based convenience retail chain has sourced at 15 containers per month over 3 years, and an e-commerce retail partner at 15 containers per month over 3 years. For Japan OEM Custom Wet Wipes programs specifically, the regional context is relevant: Japan represents nearly 27% of the Asia-Pacific wet wipes market with a premium quality and hygiene emphasis.

Large distributors and private label groups. A 150-year-old conglomerate has sourced 10 containers per month for 10 years, and a major household and personal care conglomerate 10 containers per month for 8 years. At this scale, material consistency across replenishment cycles matters more than any single pack feature — the recurring feedback from these accounts is that quality remains stable over the long term, with new product proposals fed back to the buyer.

FAQ: What OEM Buyers Ask Before Choosing a Material

Conclusion: Choose the Material That Matches the Claim, Not the Trend

Across the verified lineup, the material decision resolves into three clean routes. Entirely adhesive non-woven supports mainstream baby and pet programs at 150 × 200 mm (Y02) and 200 × 200 mm (C02). Bamboo fiber supports pet grooming and sensitive-area pet formats at 150 × 200 mm (C03) and 140 × 180 mm (C04). Biodegradable wood pulp non-woven fabric supports biodegradable and disintegration-led claims through the 180 × 200 mm glove format (C05), the 130 × 200 mm wet toilet paper S01, and the 150 × 200 mm wet toilet paper S02, whose material disintegrates into wood pulp cloth.

Whichever route you take, the same factory platform applies: OEM/ODM customization across packaging, logo, material, size, aroma, and piece count; a 20,000 yuan MOQ; a 30-day lead time; 3 million packages of monthly capacity; and a document set that includes ISO 9001:2015 certificate 0350125030471R1S and MSDS certificate BMi202605192227DG for the pet grooming glove program.
