The way a wipe is folded is more than just an aesthetic choice; it dictates how the consumer interacts with the product and how the automatic wet wipe machine must be configured.
1. Z-Fold (Non-Interlocked)
This is the most common fold for individual “pocket” packs. Each wipe is folded into a ‘Z’ shape and stacked. They are easy to produce at very high speeds, making this a favorite for low-cost, high-volume production.
2. V-Fold (Interfolded/Pop-Up)
Have you ever pulled a wipe out and had the next one “pop up” automatically? That is V-folding (or interfolding). The machine “links” the wipes together. This requires a more complex mechanical engineering setup in the folding unit but offers a premium user experience that customers love.
3. C-Fold
Often used for oversized industrial or household cleaning wipes. The ‘C’ fold allows a very large wipe to fit into a relatively small, flat pack. This is ideal for packaging equipment designed for space-saving retail displays.
4. Choosing the Right Folding Unit
When ordering your production line, specify your desired fold. At Zhenbao Trading, we offer interchangeable folding boards, allowing one machine to produce multiple fold styles with a simple mechanical swap.
