Scott® Professional Universal Multifold Paper Towels, Bulk (01840), Absorbency Pockets, 9.2" x 9.4" sheets, Standard Tier, Compressed, White (250 Sheets/Pack, 16 Packs/Case, 4,000 Sheets/Case)

There's nothing too special about this paper towel, but it is a little better than the kraft brown/recycled type. They're thin with some absorption ability causing me to use about 5 or 6 at a time to really get my hands dry. Cost comparison for quantity vs price made these the best choice in my opinion at the time of ordering.

I’ve purchased this case multiple times over the past year for a commercial venue that sees constant foot traffic. Between weddings, vendor events, and staff use, paper towels are one of those products where performance really matters — flimsy, inefficient towels disappear instantly and create twice the amount of trash. These Scott Professional multifold towels have consistently been the most reliable option we’ve used, and I keep coming back to them for a few specific reasons. One of my biggest concerns with budget-friendly multifold towels is that they tend to shred the moment they touch water. These don’t. They aren’t as thick as the premium rolled towels, but they hold up extremely well for: • Drying hands • Quick counter wipe-downs • Spot-cleaning mirrors or sinks • Handling small spills The “absorbency pockets” actually do help them soak water quickly without the towel collapsing into mush. We’ve used several wall-mounted dispensers (both stainless and plastic) as well as countertop acrylic holders. These stack perfectly and dispense one at a time without clumping, folding, or dragging multiple sheets out at once. That alone reduces waste more than you’d expect. Compared to some other brands that require 2–3 towels per person, one Scott towel is typically enough. For a venue with limited back-of-house storage, the compact compressed packs are a huge plus. You get all 16 packs (4,000 sheets total) in a box that stores easily on a single. We’ve tested cheaper “no-name” multifold towels and thicker premium brands. These hit the sweet spot: durable enough to feel clean and professional, but cost-effective enough to stock in bulk. Across multiple purchases, the sheet size, weight, folding, and texture are identical. No issues with misfolded stacks or thin batches.

These Scott Professional Universal Multifold Paper Towels are exactly what you want if you’re looking for reliability, efficiency, and bulk value. The absorbency pockets actually work—each towel soaks up spills quickly without falling apart or requiring multiple sheets for small messes. The compressed, compact packaging is a huge plus. It saves storage space and makes restocking easy, especially in busy environments like offices, schools, kitchens, or restrooms. The multifold design fits standard dispensers perfectly and dispenses one towel at a time, helping reduce waste. Despite being economical, the towels feel sturdy and perform well for hand drying, wiping counters, and general cleanup. With 4,000 sheets per case, this is a cost-effective solution that lasts and holds up under daily use. Pros: Strong absorbency for quick cleanups Compact packaging saves storage space Fits standard multifold dispensers Reduces waste with single-towel dispensing Excellent bulk value Cons: Not ultra-soft (expected for commercial-grade towels) Bottom line: dependable, efficient, and budget-friendly—an excellent choice for anyone managing high-use spaces or buying in bulk. Highly recommended.

Outrageous how expensive things are these days! Every monthly subscription cycle, things explode up in price, mostly $10+ at a time! I used Kleenex multi-ply as my go-to when COVID threw the world into an insane panic and rolls of paper towels were nowhere to be found! I was a happy camper until the last subscribe and save cycle, when the Kleenex went up by more than $10! Cancelled Kleenex! These paper towels will work just fine. They are not quite as thick as Kleenex, but work perfectly for my cleaning needs.

Great addition to a kitchen. I ordered a stainless steel container to dispense. A much better luck than a roll of paper towels look like you’re gonna sit down to eat crabs More absorbent than other towels, I have tried and a bit softer. One towel will dry your hands. I prefer the white ones

The nice thing about these paper towels is because they're slightly narrower. They come out of our dispenser a little easier without leaving little shreds from the ends. As long as you put these in the proper position which usually means the flap on the top should a face inward, then they should come out of your dispenser properly. I wouldn't call these paper towels soft but I wouldn't call them rough either. I would say they're more like on the medium side. Usually when I dry my hands it usually takes two or three of these to feel like they do a thorough job for my large size hands.

These towels are very thin. They’re usable for the price, but you’ll need two to three times as many sheets to absorb anything—drying hands, draining food, or wiping down counters. Because of that, the value drops fast. You’re better off spending a little more or choosing a different brand, such as Kleenex Professional Universal Multifold Paper Towels, which are noticeably thicker and often priced about the same. Overall, I’m disappointed. They technically work, but just barely. I’ll use them up, but I wouldn’t buy them again.

I've always been loyal to Bounty paper napkins (usually the 200-count), but after getting a beautiful wooden dispenser for multifold paper towels, I decided to try these Scott Professional towels—especially since I'm already a longtime fan of Scott toilet paper. Honestly, I’m impressed! Each pack has 250 sheets, and they’ve lasted noticeably longer than the Bounty napkins. Yes, there are more sheets, but more importantly, we find ourselves only needing one towel at a time instead of grabbing two napkins. The texture is thick and somewhat soft—not rough like some commercial paper towels. They’re strong enough to dry off dishes or wipe down counters without falling apart. It feels like the best of both worlds: the absorbency of a paper towel with the convenience of a napkin. Safe to say, I’ve just added another Scott product to my list of home essentials. Highly recommend if you're looking for an efficient and reliable alternative to traditional paper towels!
