GP Pacific Blue Select 23000 C-Fold (12x120) Review

Affiliate disclosure: WC Safety earns a commission on qualifying Amazon purchases at no extra cost to you.

C-fold survives because cabinets survive: the wider 3.6-inch fold predates multifold's takeover, and buildings full of C-fold steel need C-fold paper. GP's 23000 is the premium 2-ply version — the format kept in service properly rather than grudgingly.

Editorial rating: 4.2/5. The right paper for walls you inherited; the wrong format to expand.

Who it's for

Facilities with existing C-fold cabinets that aren't worth replacing — and prefer a 2-ply sheet where the format already costs more per towel.

Skip it if

Anyone buying cabinets today: multifold wastes less, clumps less, and costs less per dry. C-fold is a legacy commitment, not a choice.

How it fits the facility safety program

Towel stock is hygiene infrastructure: an empty dispenser is a sanitation failure with a timestamp. Buy on price per 1,000 feet, match the system exactly, and hold 4-6 weeks of case stock per busy dispenser. New to the department? Start at the janitorial & facility safety collection overview.

How it compares

vs PB Select multifold: the format to migrate to. (Our take: full PB Select multifold review.)

vs Scott 01804: premium sheet in the modern fold. (Our take: full Scott 01804 review.)

Pros and cons

Pros

• Premium 2-ply in the legacy format
• Keeps existing cabinets in service
• Wide sheet users perceive as generous

Cons

• 1,440 towels/case — steep per-towel cost
• No interfold: clump-dispensing under load
• Format is sunset outside legacy walls

Build out the facility program

One product is a purchase; the program is what protects people. Map every dispenser-to-refill pairing in the dispenser compatibility guide, size every can with the trash liner calculator and the mil & micron decode, and rank the categories in our best-of guides for commercial paper towels, can liners, and wet floor signs. The safety context lives in the custodial worker safety hub with its floor stripping and cleaning chemical safety guides. Crews need nitrile gloves, chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and slip-resistant footwear; liquid failures belong to spill control. Browse the department: janitorial & facility safety, paper towels & dispensers, trash can liners, wet floor signs — case-lot orders via bulk & business orders.

Janitorial & facility supply FAQ

Are these prices current?

Every price in this review was captured from the live Amazon listing on 2026-07-16 and is shown for comparison — commercial paper, liners, and equipment reprice constantly, so the yellow buttons pull the live listing where current price and stock are shown.

Does WC Safety actually stock janitorial supplies?

We're a workplace-safety retailer and Amazon Associate: we curate, spec-check, and cross-link the products, and purchases happen on Amazon through our links. That model is why every claim here traces to the listing or the maker's published data rather than a warehouse pitch.

Why does a safety site review janitorial products?

Because custodial work is safety work: floors, chemicals, waste handling, and hand hygiene each map to an OSHA standard (walking-working surfaces, HazCom, bloodborne pathogens, sanitation). The custodial worker safety hub lays out the whole hazard-to-product map.

How do I know what fits my dispensers and cans?

Two free tools: the paper towel dispenser compatibility guide maps every dispenser-to-refill pairing (enMotion, Tork H1, purple core, SofPull, folded cabinets), and the trash liner size calculator turns can measurements into the liner size and gauge to order.

What's the honest way to compare paper towel cases?

Price per 1,000 feet (rolls) or per 1,000 towels (folded) — case prices hide yield. In our current lineup that metric runs from about $11.55 (compatible 10x800) to $19.11 (genuine flagship) per 1,000 feet.

What's the difference between HDPE and LLDPE liners?

High-density (micron-rated) film is cheap and strong on light dry waste but zippers open at punctures; low-density (mil-rated) film stretches around edges. Density-to-waste-stream match — not gauge — is what prevents blowouts; the mil & micron decode guide has the charts.

Do wet floor signs and mop buckets really matter to compliance?

Same-level falls are among the costliest workers' comp categories, and OSHA 1910.22 expects dry floors or controlled hazards. Posted signs during wet work are the accepted control, and splash-reducing buckets put less water down in the first place.

What PPE goes with janitorial supplies?

Disposable nitrile for routine cleaning, chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles for concentrates and strippers, slip-resistant footwear on wet routes, and cut-resistant gloves on sharps-risk waste runs — the task-by-task table is in the custodial safety hub.

Can I order these at facility scale?

Yes — everything reviews at case quantities already, and multi-case or standing orders route through our bulk & business orders page alongside the PPE the same crews need.

How were these products chosen?

Wave 1 of our janitorial department covers the four highest-decision-complexity categories — dispenser systems and their refills, can liners by density, wet floor signs, and mop buckets — selected from live Amazon data for review strength, real case pricing, and category coverage rather than sponsorship.

What does price per 1,000 feet actually change?

It reveals that case prices lie: a $55 case can beat a $38 case on yield. Buy every roll case on $/1,000 ft and every folded case on $/1,000 towels and the budget debates end.

Genuine vs compatible rolls — real difference?

Genuine buys engineered winding (fewer jams) and one support chain; reputable compatibles run the same hardware at 60% of the per-foot cost. Front-of-house genuine, back-of-house compatible is the common split.

Multifold vs C-fold?

Multifold interfolds (each towel presents the next), fits nearly every cabinet, wastes less. C-fold is the wider legacy format that clumps under load — keep it only where the cabinets already exist.

How much towel stock should the closet hold?

A busy dispenser burns a high-capacity roll weekly; hold 4-6 weeks per dispenser. Towel outages are hygiene failures users remember longer than they remember most maintenance wins.

Recycled fiber — any real downside?

Modern recycled hard rolls dry hands fine and tick procurement sustainability lines; premium TAD sheets still feel plusher. Spec by room: recycled back-of-house, premium where customers judge.

How we review

WC Safety reviews are spec-honest: we work from the manufacturer's published data and the live Amazon listing, flag any claim that exists only in listing copy ("per the listing"), and never invent certifications or test results. Ratings are editorial judgments about fit-for-duty at the captured price — not aggregated user scores.
