box of tissues

Facial tissues are usually made from paper pulp. Common pulp types shown on packaging include BEK (Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp), NBSK (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft), and bamboo pulp.

Tissues are sold in a variety of formats: square or rectangular top-opening boxes, soft packs (flat plastic packs), cylindrical canisters, tubular travel tubes (often for kids), and multipacks. Product text often calls out top-opening or canister-style formats for easy dispensing.

Travel packs are described as small, pocket- or purse-friendly and designed to fit in backpacks, cupholders, strollers, and car compartments. Reviewers also note slim, compact sizes and tubes that are convenient for on-the-go use.

Reviewers most often praise softness and gentle performance, note strength or ply and durability, and frequently describe products as offering good value or affordability. Packaging and portability (travel packs and tubes) are also commonly mentioned in reviews.
