Commercial Toilet Rolls: Jumbo, Mini Jumbo and Centrefeed Explained
The DiscountTillRolls.ie TeamCommercial washrooms mostly use jumbo toilet rolls, mini jumbo rolls or centrefeed toilet rolls, each in a matching dispenser. Jumbo rolls hold the most paper, so they need changing least often, which suits busy pubs, venues and offices. Mini jumbo rolls suit smaller washrooms. Centrefeed toilet rolls dispense a sheet at a time from the middle, which helps cut waste. The key is matching the roll to your dispenser.
Here is how they compare, and how to pick the right one.

Jumbo, mini jumbo or centrefeed?
| Roll | Length | Best for | Price ex VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Satino Comfort jumbo, JT2 | 320m, 6 rolls | Busy pubs, venues, offices | €29.99 |
| Logic8 mini jumbo, 3" core | 150m, 12 rolls | Cafes, small offices, one or two cubicles | €22.99 |

A longer roll means fewer changes and fewer "no paper" complaints. That matters more in a busy pub on a Saturday night than in a quiet office.
Long jumbo rolls for busy washrooms.
Which dispenser do I need?
Rolls and dispensers are made to fit each other, so check the dispenser before you order paper.
- Jumbo rolls fit a jumbo roll dispenser, like the Logic8 jumbo dispenser. Mini jumbo rolls fit a mini jumbo dispenser, and many jumbo dispensers take them too.
- Twin dispensers hold two rolls, so there is always a spare. See the black twin jumbo dispenser.
- Centrefeed toilet rolls need a centrefeed toilet tissue dispenser.
Look at the code on the dispenser (JT2 or CF2, for example) and match it to the roll. If in doubt, measure the space inside and the core size of your current roll.
Holds two jumbo rolls, so a spare is always loaded.
What does core size mean?
The core is the cardboard tube in the middle of the roll. Many jumbo and mini jumbo rolls use a 3 inch core, which fits most standard jumbo dispensers. If a roll spins loose or will not go on the spindle, the core size is usually the reason.
Mini jumbo rolls for cafes and small offices.
How do I cut toilet roll waste?
- Use a lockable dispenser, so rolls cannot be taken.
- Switch to centrefeed if paper is being pulled off in long lengths.
- Use a twin dispenser so a half-used roll is not swapped out early.
- Check rolls at set times, for example at opening and at the start of the evening rush.
