750mm bale wrap is a type of plastic wrap for feed bales that has a width of 750 millimeters. Its function is to protect feed bales such as hay, straw, or silage from damage caused by weather, pests, and other environmental factors. Its wider size compared to 500mm bale wrap makes it ideal for wrapping larger feed bales, serving as the main protection to preserve the quality of the feed for a longer period.

Why Choose 750mm Bale Wrap?
The 750mm bale wrap offers several advantages over the smaller size. Here are some of them:
Ideal for Large Bales
Bale wrap with a width of 750mm is perfect for wrapping feed bales produced by large-capacity baling machines.
Extra and More Optimal Protection
The larger width allows for a wider overlap of each plastic layer, providing better protection against water, air, and sunlight. The wider plastic also reduces the risk of damage to the bales due to friction or impact during storage and transportation.
Time Efficiency
Although it requires more plastic per bale, using 750mm bale wrap can improve wrapping efficiency because fewer layers are needed to cover the entire surface of the bales. As a result, with the larger width, the wrapping process can be completed faster due to the wider coverage with each round of plastic.
Longer Preservation of Feed Quality
Like the 500mm bale wrap, the 750mm bale wrap is also effective in maintaining the moisture, nutrition, and hygiene of the feed inside the bales. However, the greater protection helps keep the feed’s nutrients and moisture better preserved for longer in storage.
Stability of Bales
Bales wrapped with 750mm bale wrap tend to be more stable when stacked or moved, reducing the risk of damage that can lead to feed wastage.
How to Use 750mm Bale Wrap
The method for using 750mm bale wrap is generally the same as for 500mm bale wrap:
- Bale Preparation: Ensure the feed straw is dry and has an even density.
- Initial Wrapping: Start wrapping from bottom to top, ensuring the plastic is well stretched and there are no creases.
- Overlap: Each layer of plastic should overlap the previous layer by at least 15 cm.
- Tension: Pull the plastic tight to avoid air pockets from forming.
- Closure: Secure the end of the plastic tightly using a special adhesive or fastener.
How to Choose 750mm Bale Wrap That Suits Your Needs
Just like 500mm bale wrap, 750mm bale wrap is available in various types, including standard bale wrap, thick bale wrap, anti-UV bale wrap, special silage bale wrap, and self-adhesive bale wrap. However, there are several factors to consider when choosing the right bale wrap for your needs:
Feed Type
For hay and straw, a standard bale wrap will usually suffice. However, if the feed is stored for long periods or in areas with extreme weather, thick or UV-resistant bale wraps may be a better option. Specialized silage bale wraps are designed to maintain anaerobic conditions in silage bales, helping to preserve lactic acid and nutrient quality.
Storage Conditions
Consider the storage period and environmental conditions. For long-term storage, choose a bale wrap with extra thickness or one with anti-degradation properties. If stored in an open area, consider an anti-UV bale wrap to protect against the sun.
Climate
In areas with high rainfall or extreme temperatures, choose a bale wrap that offers water and temperature resistance.
Budget
Consider the cost. Bale wraps with additional thickness and features usually come at a higher price. Adjust your choice according to your budget, and compare prices across different brands to find the best fit.
Compatibility with Bale Size and Equipment
Ensure the width of the bale wrap matches the size of the bales to be wrapped. Also, make sure the bale wrap is compatible with the wrapping machine you have.
Quality Considerations
Generally, a good quality bale wrap is characterized by the following:
- Even thickness: Prevents ripping or tearing.
- Strong adhesive: Ensures a tight closure.
- Flexibility: Facilitates the packaging process.
- Weather resistance: Prevents damage from sunlight, rain, or extreme temperatures.
