Multifold paper towels are the gold standard for high-traffic washroom dispensers — engineered so the next towel pops up automatically when the previous one is pulled. Komfort PMF4000 delivers 4,000 sheets per case (16 packs × 250 each) of soft, absorbent multifold towels backed by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification. Designed to fit all standard multifold dispensers used in offices, food service, healthcare, and industrial facilities.
Why Multifold Wins for Public Washrooms
The multifold format exists for one specific reason: controlled dispensing. Unlike roll towels (where users can grab as much as they want) or center-pull formats (where the next sheet has to be located and pulled), multifold towels interlock so that pulling one automatically presents the next. This single design choice cuts paper waste in public washrooms by an estimated 20–35% compared to free-pull alternatives — and that's before you factor in reduced refill labour from less aggressive consumption.
The PMF4000 Standard
The PMF4000 case format (16 packs × 250 sheets = 4,000 towels per case) is the standard hospitality and corporate-grade multifold spec. A single case typically supplies a 100-person office for 1–2 weeks depending on traffic, or a busy restaurant front-of-house for 3–5 days. The case packaging is designed for clean stacking on storage shelves and quick refill access.
ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 — What They Mean
ISO 9001 certifies that the manufacturing process meets international quality management standards — consistent thickness, consistent absorbency, consistent fold integrity batch-to-batch. ISO 14001 covers environmental management systems — meaning the manufacturer has audited processes around waste, emissions, and resource use. For procurement teams targeting LEED points or running supplier scorecards, both certifications are typically required line items.
Multifold vs Hand Roll: Choosing the Right Format
The decision tree is dispenser hardware. Multifold for compact wall-mount dispensers in public washrooms — best for controlled use and waste reduction. Hand Roll for kitchen prep areas, industrial workstations, and anywhere users need to grab a length of towel for a specific task. Most facilities run both: multifold in customer-facing washrooms, hand roll in kitchens and shop floors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my multifold dispenser?
Yes — PMF4000 is sized for all standard multifold dispensers (Tork, Cascades, Kimberly-Clark, Georgia-Pacific, and most generic commercial brands). The fold pattern and pack size are industry-standardized. If you have a specialty or non-standard dispenser, send us the brand and model and we'll confirm before shipping.
How is multifold different from C-fold or single-fold?
Multifold towels interlock so that pulling one presents the next automatically — that's the key feature. C-fold towels are folded in a 'C' shape and dispense one at a time but don't interlock. Single-fold towels are simpler and stack flat. Multifold gives the best balance of waste control and dispensing speed for public washrooms.
What does 'PMF4000' actually mean?
PMF stands for Premium Multifold; 4000 refers to the case sheet count (16 packs × 250 = 4,000). It's the manufacturer code, not an industry standard. When you re-order, citing PMF4000 ensures you get the same product. Other suppliers may call equivalent products by different SKU codes.
How many cases will my facility need per month?
Rule of thumb: 1 case (4,000 sheets) covers about 200 person-days of moderate-traffic washroom use. A 100-person office: roughly 8–12 cases per month. A busy restaurant: 4–6 cases per month per dispenser. We can build a usage estimate based on your headcount and washroom count — email Sales@clwdistributor.com with your facility size.
Are these recycled or virgin fibre?
PMF4000 is a premium-grade multifold using a high-absorbency virgin/recycled blend. The exact ratio varies by production batch but is documented in the spec sheet, which we can provide for procurement records. The blend is optimized for absorbency and softness while keeping the fibre supply traceable.
Can I mix multifold with other paper products on one order?
Yes. Mix-and-match pallet pricing applies — combine multifold towels, hand roll towels, toilet paper, and any other paper products on a single order to hit pallet pricing without committing to single-SKU volume. This is one of the main reasons facilities order through CLW versus directly from a single mill.
