How to Choose a Used Facial Tissue Machine: A Buyer's Guide

Buying a used facial tissue machine can save you 40–60% compared to a new line — but only if you know what to check. Here is a practical guide for first-time factory owners and brand builders.

1. Brand Matters

Stick to proven Chinese brands like Baosuo, Yekon, and Soontrue. These manufacturers have spare parts available worldwide, which means easier maintenance and lower long-term costs. Avoid unknown “no-name” machines that may have no parts support.

2. Check the Configuration

The number of lanes determines output. A 7-lane machine produces more than a 5-lane machine. Also confirm the cut length (commonly 180mm or 190mm) matches the product size you want to sell.

3. Embossing Options

Edge embossing keeps 2-ply tissues together. Premium machines offer four-side embossing for a thicker, softer, higher-end product — and allow custom logo embossing for your own brand.

4. Automation Level

Fully automatic lines need fewer operators and run more consistently. Check whether the machine includes automatic stacking, transfer, and counting.

5. Always Request a Test-Run Video

Before paying, ask the seller for a real test-run video showing the machine processing jumbo rolls into finished tissue. This is the single best way to verify the machine actually works.
