How Much Does the Nonwoven Fabric for Wet Wipes in a Pack Really Cost?

For wet wipes manufacturers, understanding the exact cost of the non woven fabric for wet wipes is key to managing production costs and ensuring competitive pricing. In this article, we use the example of nonwoven fabric with a weight of 35g/㎡, a pack of 80 wipes, and a fabric price of 12,000 RMB per ton to explain how to calculate the cost of spunlace non woven fabric for wet wipes.

1. Calculation of the Fabric Weight

Each wipe has an unfolded size of 150mm x 200mm, which equals an area of 0.03 square meters.

The weight of the non woven fabric for wet wipes per wipe is:

0.03m² × 35g/m² = 1.05g

Therefore, the total weight of the nonwoven fabric for a pack of 80 wipes is:

1.05g × 80 = 84g

2. Calculation of the Fabric Cost

The price of spunlace non woven fabric for wet wipes is 12,000 RMB per ton, or 0.012 RMB per gram.

The cost of the nonwoven fabric for a pack of 80 wipes is:

84g × 0.012 RMB/g = 1.008 RMB

3. Currency Conversion

If the cost needs to be converted to USD, assuming an exchange rate of 1 USD = 7.3 RMB, the cost would be:

1.008 RMB ÷ 7.3 = 0.1381 USD

Conclusion

For wet wipes manufacturers, the nonwoven fabric used in a pack of 80 wipes weighs 84 grams and costs approximately 1.008 RMB (or 0.1381 USD). Understanding this fabric cost helps manufacturers manage raw material expenses and optimize pricing strategies, ensuring both cost efficiency and product quality.
