Maintain airtight storage
Our bale wrap films are up to 7 layers and allow a pre-stretch of up to 70%, meaning more bales per roll. Designed for trouble free use on all bale wrapping machinery, our products are the choice for contractors and farmers who seek the combined benefits of high strength, reliability and durability.

Why use a high quality silage film, and why maintain air tight storage?
- Bacteria on grass remains mostly dormant.
- By using high quality, low oxygen permeating films and sealing air tight, you starve the bacteria of oxygen.
- By starving bacteria of oxygen, you help to create the anabolic activity. (essentially the bacteria wakes up and begins to multiply)
- The bacteria produces lactic acid which brings down the acidity.
- It is this process that preserves the grass
- Suitable for all bale wrappers
- High puncture and tear resistance
- Greater resistance to oxygen ingress
- Consistently good elasticity
- Optimum adhesion level
- UV protection in all climates
- Environmentally friendlier
10 Top tips of bail wrapping.
- Only ensile good quality grass, cut at the optimum growth stage, ideally 40-50% dry matter (DM). For haylage do not exceed 60% DM. Swath should be uniform in height, density and DM, and the full width of baler pick up. Bales should be dense and cylindrical in shape.
- Check that when on the wrapper, the centre of the bale is horizontally in line with the centre of the film reel.
- Check for correct percentage of film pre-stretch by making two marks horizontally 10cm apart on the film reel. Slowly commence wrapping, and locate these marks on the bale surface and measure their distance apart. As an example, for 70% stretch they should be 17cm apart
- Check on the bale for correct ‘neck-down’.
- Check that film overlap is no less than 50%.
- Ensure that a minimum 4 film layers are applied to all areas of bales with DM between 30% and 50%, and minimum 6 layers for those over 50% DM, all square bales, and all bales where the crop is of a coarse nature or is handled multiple times.
- Wrap at the stacking area if possible, but if not, move bales from field immediately after wrapping.
- Never use a spike to stack bales, and repair any damage to bales during the storage period immediately.
- Protect bales from birds, vermin and any chemicals that may reduce the UV protection that is in the film.
- Always read film and wrapper instructions before use.
