Printed Tissues

Printed Tissues (paper handkerchiefs) refers to a class of soft, absorbent, disposable paper that is suitable for use on the face. The term is commonly used to refer to the type of Printed Tissues, usually sold in boxes, that is designed to facilitate the expulsion of nasal mucus although it may refer to other types of Printed Tissues including napkins and wipes. The first tissue handkerchiefs were introduced in the 1920s. They have been refined over the years, especially for softness and strength, but their basic design has remained constant. Today each person in Western Europe uses about 200 tissue handkerchiefs a year, with a variety of 'alternative' functions including the treatment of minor wounds, the cleaning of face and hands and the cleaning of spectacles.
