Such vending machines are installed in subway stations, large buildings, etc., where many people pass, and are used by many people.

These vending machines can save labor costs, and because of the advantages of easy maintenance and the ability of product manufacturers to facilitate the sale of necessary products without facing consumers directly, the type and number of vending machines have increased rapidly in recent years. It is a well-known fact that it is on the trend.

On the other hand, wet towels have been used after washing and reused using white cotton handkerchief in restaurants, etc., but since the hygiene management of people has been thorough, the demand has gradually increased. Instead of a handkerchief, a disposable towel made of a nonwoven fabric or the like is widely used. Since the disposable towels are now widely used in general households with infants, the demand is increasing.
