Corrections buyer's guide
Coreless vs. cored toilet paper for jails.
Why correctional facilities switch to coreless rolls, and what changes in the storeroom when they do.
The short answer
Coreless rolls remove the cardboard core, which in a jail is something to flush, stuff into a toilet or turn into something else. They also pack more rolls into the same storage space. Cored rolls remain a reasonable choice for staff and public restrooms.
Why the core matters in a jail
Corrections buyers choose coreless for one main reason: there's no cardboard core. A core can end up flushed or stuffed into a toilet, or fashioned into something it was never meant to be. With a coreless roll there is nothing left over when the paper runs out.
Storage: about 37% more rolls per cubic foot
Comparing our coreless case with a 96-roll case of cored tissue:
| Coreless case | 60 rolls in 2.11 cubic feet (19 × 8 × 24 in) = 28.4 rolls per cubic foot |
| Cored case | 96 rolls in 4.63 cubic feet = 20.7 rolls per cubic foot |
| Difference | About 37% more rolls in the same storeroom |
