What is Blue Roll?
Blue roll is an absorbent roll of paper that is usually available in 1, 2, or 3 ply (the number of sheets per layer) to accommodate different environments and needs. The higher the ply number, the thicker and more absorbent the blue roll will be.
No matter what you call it, blue roll, centrefeed roll, blue paper, engineers roll, catering roll – you can’t ignore it! The practical little paper rolls can be seen in venues up and down the country, from Michelin starred restaurants and high street cafes, to mechanics workshops and domestic kitchens.
Most blue rolls are also centrefeed rolls, meaning they can be like kitchen roll or fed from the centre of the roll itself for use in a dispenser. When used in a dispenser, the centrefeed design lends itself to more economical and cost-efficient usage, helping you to save money by reducing the amount of sheets used.
