Help is needed for obtaining the right term in the following description (in quote):-
A roll of toilet paper is in the form of continued sheets. These sheets are connected (or separated) by “pre-cut/pre-punched/pre-slotted dotted cutting lines”.

1Perforated. Search of Facebook for "quilted northern rustic weave video", which was published on April 1st. Note... April 1st.– JavaLatteCommented Apr 16, 2016 at 17:54

2You should probably use continuous rather than continued.– JavaLatteCommented Apr 16, 2016 at 18:07

The term that is usually used is perforated, e.g. in Wikipedia:
It is sold as a long strip of perforated paper [...]
Perforated describes exactly the (many) holes / slits / cuts that separate the individual sheets.
To sound more like a native English speaker, I would update your sentences to the following:
A roll of toilet paper is in the form of continuous sheets. These sheets are perforated, making them easy to separate.

"To sound like a native english speaker?" This might be what a native english speaker would write, but I can't imagine anybody talking like that. Commented Apr 16, 2016 at 19:29

@JavaLatte if this was my industry, this is how I would speak these sentences... as a native speaker. The person sounded like they were speaking technically to explain or sell the product. Commented Apr 16, 2016 at 20:20
