Cosmetics, Beauty / this company also manufactures toilet paper, paper towels, other paper products Nicky
Italian term or phrase: 24 confezioni
This is referring to the linden scented 4-ply tissues. the sentence however stands alone.

Do you take this to mean "24 pack" that is 24 in a pack or "24 packs to chose from"? since "confezioni" is in the plural? Help....
