Short Answer
Custom toilet paper is an ordinary tissue roll dressed in your own artwork: a full-color printed wrapper, a printed core band, or both. Teal Packaging supplies it to spec from a 50-unit minimum, with free dieline design, a digital proof before print and free US shipping included on every order.
What is custom toilet paper?
Custom toilet paper is a tissue roll finished with print you control instead of a mill's stock branding. There are two print surfaces on the roll itself: the outer wrapper a guest sees before the roll is opened, and the core band that stays visible until the roll runs out. Both are built from artwork you supply, so the crest, logo or pattern already running on your menus, keycards or invitations can run here too.
The three surfaces you can print
| Surface | What it carries | Why buyers use it |
|---|---|---|
| Outer wrapper | Full-color artwork across the sheet: logo, crest, repeating pattern, event date, a printed message | The piece a guest sees on the vanity or in an amenity basket |
| Printed core band | A narrow band of artwork wrapped around the tube | Keeps the brand visible for the life of the roll, not just the first minute |
| Outer carton or sleeve | Printed kraft paperboard at 300-400gsm, or white SBS at 14-18pt, built around a set of rolls | Turns loose rolls into a giftable, stackable, presented unit |
How is custom toilet paper printed?
Your artwork is printed in full color on the wrapper stock, the roll is wrapped, and the core band is applied. Soy and water-based inks are used, and FSC-certified or recyclable stocks can be specified for the wrapper and for any outer carton. Nothing prints until you approve a digital proof, and two rounds of revisions are included in the quote.
Decorative finishing applies to the printed carton or sleeve rather than to the tissue roll: foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV, soft-touch coating, die-cuts and windows are all available on the paperboard components.
What size are the rolls and wrappers?
Sizing is made to your product, not picked off a fixed chart. Send the roll dimensions you want wrapped, plus any carton or sleeve you want built around a set of them, and the free dieline design service draws the wrapper, band and carton to those exact numbers before the proof goes out.
That matters more than it sounds. A wrapper cut to the wrong circumference gaps or bunches at the seam, and a carton cut to a guessed depth leaves rolls rattling. Supplying real measurements with the quote request removes both problems at the dieline stage rather than after print.
Where a printed roll earns its place
Branded toilet paper works where the restroom is part of the experience being sold, or where the print itself is the point. The briefs it suits look like this:
- Boutique hotels and resorts, where the washroom is one of the few rooms a guest is alone in and every touchpoint is styled.
- Restaurants and bars that already print menus, coasters and napkins, and want the washroom to match rather than break the set.
- Weddings, parties and themed events, where a dated wrapper works as decor first and a keepsake second.
- Promotional, novelty and gag gifting, where the printed message is the whole product.
- Office and coworking fit-outs that treat washroom supplies as part of the branded kit rather than a supply-closet line item.
What does custom toilet paper cost, and what is the minimum?
Pricing is quoted to your spec and starts from $0.44 per unit at volume. The variables that move it are the print coverage on the wrapper, the quantity of rolls, the stock you specify, and whether you add a printed carton or sleeve. Standard custom projects start at a 50-unit minimum; the 100-plus minimum applies only to specialty rigid products, which this is not.
Free dieline design, full-color printing, two revision rounds, the digital proof and free US shipping are included in the order rather than quoted as separate line items.

Pair branded rolls with the rest of the kit
If they need to arrive as a presented set rather than loose, printed toilet paper boxes hold a run in a carton you can stack, ship or gift. For event, promo and welcome-kit programs, gift and corporate kitting and company swag kits place the rolls inside a larger branded box alongside the rest of your items, and custom PR boxes handle the send-out version. Teal supplies the printed packaging, and its West Chicago, Illinois warehouse handles kitting, assembly, pick-pack, storage and ship-to-recipient once a run lands. If you are still choosing wrapper and carton stock, the paper weight chart lines up gsm and point values so you can compare them directly.
Custom toilet paper FAQ
What is the minimum order for custom toilet paper?
Standard custom projects start at 50 units. The 100-plus minimum applies only to specialty rigid products, so it does not apply to printed rolls. If you are running a single event and only need a small quantity, 50 units is the floor to quote against.
How long does a custom toilet paper order take?
Production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, with complex or high-volume orders taking longer, plus 2 to 5 business days for US delivery. Express and economy options are available, so share the date you need the rolls on site when you request a quote and those options can be priced against it. The clock starts at proof approval, not at the quote, so returning artwork promptly is within your control.
Can you match my exact brand colors?
Printing is full color, and the digital proof exists precisely so you can judge color before the run rather than assume it. Treat an exact Pantone match as something to confirm on the proof, not something to take for granted from a screen. Two rounds of revisions are included, so there is room to adjust and re-approve.
Can I see a sample before I order?
Yes. The free sample kit ships for $19.99, and that shipping charge is credited toward your first custom order. It is the practical way to judge print and stock in hand before you commit artwork to a full run.
Are recyclable or FSC-certified options available?
FSC-certified and recyclable stocks are available by specification, on the wrapper and on any printed carton or sleeve, and soy and water-based inks are used. Name the requirement on your quote request so it is priced into the spec from the start rather than swapped in later.
