Three-ply disposable face masks are a high-volume, everyday consumable for retail, institutional and general protective use. This page covers the construction, filtration specification and certification of a quality 3-ply mask — and how it differs from a regulated surgical mask or a respirator.
We supply 3-layer earloop face masks with a bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of 95% or higher, CE-marked and ISO 9001 sourced, with test reports on request. Available in bulk by the carton and under private label, in a range of colours and printed designs.
| Specification | Standard / option | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | 3-layer (spunbond / meltblown / spunbond) | The meltblown middle layer does the filtering |
| Filtration | BFE ≥ 95% | Bacterial filtration efficiency |
| Fit | Earloop, adjustable nose clip | Comfort and seal for everyday wear |
| Options | Colours, prints, kids sizes | Retail differentiation |
| HS heading | 6307.90 (made-up textile articles) | Non-woven textile mask classification |
These three are governed by different standards and cannot be substituted on a label. A general 3-ply face mask is an everyday barrier, typically certified to ISO 9001 with a stated BFE. A surgical mask is a regulated medical device under EN 14683, classified Type I/II/IIR by filtration and fluid resistance. A respirator (FFP2 / N95) under EN 149 or NIOSH protects the wearer from airborne particles and is a different device entirely. If your tender or retail listing requires medical or respiratory claims, you need the surgical-mask or respirator line, not a general 3-ply — we supply all three with the correct certification.
Masks ship efficiently by the carton; minimums start at 50,000 pieces. Custom colour, print, kids sizing and own-brand box artwork are supported, making 3-ply masks a strong private-label retail line.
