Blue Roll & Centrefeed
Blue roll and centrefeed are large-format paper roll dispensing products used for wiping down kitchen surfaces, spills and equipment, a step up in size and toughness from standard hand towels and common throughout commercial kitchens, cafes and care home back-of-house areas. Ply and sheet size separate the options, since kitchen wiping tasks need more absorbency and strength than washroom hand-drying.
Key specifications
Blue roll is typically 2-ply, coloured blue so it’s easily distinguished from white washroom paper to avoid cross-use, and supplied in cases of 6-12 rolls holding around 150-400 sheets or metres per roll depending on format. Centrefeed rolls dispense from the centre of the roll for one-handed, hygienic single-sheet pulling, commonly used in wall-mounted dispensers in kitchen prep areas.
Blue Roll & Centrefeed — FAQs
Why is blue roll blue instead of white like washroom paper?
The blue colour makes it instantly distinguishable from white washroom hand towels, helping kitchens maintain HACCP-compliant separation between food-surface wiping materials and washroom paper products.
What’s the difference between blue roll and centrefeed?
Blue roll is typically supplied on a standard roll for tearing off sheets from the outside, while centrefeed dispenses from the roll’s centre for cleaner, one-handed single-sheet access — both serve similar kitchen wiping purposes but suit different dispenser types.
Brands typical of this category include Jantex blue roll and centrefeed ranges, commonly used in commercial kitchen and care home back-of-house areas.
