Telesto Products has one of the largest spunlace wipes products in the United States. After obtaining spunlace technology in China in the early 1990s, Chinese fabrics entered the US market. That said, the overall Chinese spunlace fabric lacks the strength and softness of the original DuPont spunlace fabric, which is still American made. Some Chinese fabrics even have a small amount of binder (glue) to enhance their lateral strength, which is not as good as American made spunlace.
Telesto Products offers a full line of spunlace wipes in various sizes, all domestically produced. All decals have an individual case and bulk pricing. Take a look at the example below, which compares one of Telesto Products' spunlace products to what you might currently be using.
Specific cost comparison
Telesto Products offers Primo® Wipe Crushpacks for $45.00 per case of 400 wipes (if purchased one at a time) and $42.00 per case of 400 wipes (if more than 3 purchased at a time). These spunlace wipes are made in the USA; they are the best you can buy. They have all of the above benefits, and delivery in 48 US states is free with no additional shipping.
Let's use the multi-box (3+) price per wipe for $42.00/400 wipes (10.5 cents per wipe). The average price for wipes is $2.20 per pound, which averages about 31 cents per pound for 7 wipes or for the same application. Towels or thick rags may cost more. Therefore, compared with wipes, spunlace wipes have advantages in price and performance.
As mentioned earlier, rental towels are more expensive. Also, rental towel residue may not be completely removed when washing. In this case, the cost and performance advantages of spunlace wipes again exist.
Our final comparison looks at your local retail options. You can pick up Scott DRC Shop Rags 200 pieces for about $13 (6.5 cents each) at Home Depot or Amazon. While the base price is lower than Telesto's Primo® Wipe Crushpack price (10.5 cents per wipe), you need to consider the duration of the wipe.
Primo® Wipe Crushpack wipes last at least two to four times longer, and they have no glue, adhesive or lint. Primo® Wipe Crushpack spunlace wipes provide an overall advantage for your industrial work.
