Kleenex is arguably the most recognized brand of facial tissues in the world, often used as a generic term for the product itself. Originally developed during World War I as a filter for gas masks and later marketed as a cold cream remover in the 1920s, it quickly evolved into the disposable handkerchief we know today.

The brand is owned by Kimberly-Clark, an American multinational personal care corporation. While the brand originated in the United States, Kleenex products are manufactured in various facilities globally to meet regional demand. In the United Kingdom and Europe, manufacturing typically takes place in regional hubs such as Kimberly-Clark's facility in North Wales, though supply chains can involve multiple locations across international borders. The brand remains a cornerstone of the Kimberly-Clark portfolio, maintaining its position through continuous innovation in texture, strength, and packaging sizes like the XL format shown.
