Custom Tissue Packet Printing in Singapore
If you’ve ever lived in Singapore, you know the tissue packet — it’s everywhere. From chope-ing tables at hawker centres to tucking one in your pocket before heading out, tissue packets are part of daily life here. That’s exactly what makes them one of the most effective, low-cost advertising tools available: your brand literally goes everywhere your customers go.
Custom-printed tissue packets put your company name, logo, promotion, or message directly into the hands of thousands of people — and unlike flyers that get tossed, tissues get kept and used. Every time someone reaches for a tissue, they see your branding.
Why Tissue Packet Marketing Works in Singapore
Tissue packet advertising has been a proven marketing channel in Singapore for decades, and for good reason:
- Practically zero rejection rate — people accept free tissues gladly, unlike flyers which are often declined or discarded immediately
- Extended brand exposure — a tissue packet stays in someone’s bag, pocket, or desk for days or even weeks, giving your branding repeated impressions every time they reach for it
- Cultural relevance — in Singapore, tissues are used to reserve seats (“chope”) at hawker centres and food courts, meaning your branded packet sits on a table in full view of everyone nearby
- Mass distribution — tissue packets are lightweight, compact, and easy to distribute at MRT stations, roadshows, events, letterbox drops, and in-store handouts
- Cost-effective reach — at bulk quantities, the cost per impression is a fraction of digital advertising or print flyers
Tissue Options
Ply count:
- 2-ply — standard thickness, soft and functional. The most common choice for promotional tissue packets where cost-efficiency and volume are the priority.
- 3-ply — thicker, softer, and more premium. Ideal for higher-end brand positioning or when you want recipients to associate your brand with quality.
Sheets per packet:
- 8 sheets — standard count, keeps the packet slim and compact. Most popular for mass distribution at roadshows, events, and letterbox campaigns.
- 10 sheets — slightly thicker packet with more tissues, perceived as more generous. Good for corporate events, hotel amenities, and premium brand campaigns.
Print Area & Packaging
Your artwork is printed on the outer wrapper of the tissue packet at a print size of 12.0 × 30.6cm — this covers both the front and back panels plus the side flaps, giving you ample space for your branding, message, contact details, QR code, or promotional offer.
The wrapper is your canvas — most brands use the front panel for the main logo and campaign message, and the back panel for contact details, social media handles, or a QR code linking to their website or promotion.
