Outer diameter
Measure the roll at its widest point. The usable internal space of the dispenser matters more than the cabinet’s outside dimensions.
A practical guide to 1-ply, 2-ply, cellulose, recycled, E-Tissue and coreless wiping paper, focused on real use and dispenser fit.

Measure the paper width along the axle. A roll can have the right diameter and still be too wide.
Record fixed cardboard core, removable pull-core or true coreless construction. This determines how the roll is supported and dispensed.
1-ply, 2-ply or 3-ply describes layers; cellulose, recycled and E-Tissue describe fibre or production concepts. They are different properties.
The longest roll is not automatically the cheapest in use. Compare metres, absorption, wet strength and how much paper one task actually needs.
EU Ecolabel, FSC/PEFC and recycled content are distinct claims. Read the exact product specification rather than using colour as a shortcut.
