Bale Net WrapRound Baler Net Wrap Manufacturer
Bale net wrap has become a necessity for preserving baled hay, silage and straw. It keeps out moisture and increases baling efficiency, and Silopak net wrap has led the market for the last 10 years.
Made from 100% high density UV-stabilised polyethylene in our own factory in China. Guaranteed 2000 m minimum roll length, a 12 month UV warranty, and carry handles on every roll.
Why Farms Moved From Twine to Net Wrap
Net wrap replaced twine on round balers for one reason: it holds the bale in a single continuous sheet instead of a few narrow bands. The bale keeps its shape through handling and transport, sheds rain instead of soaking it up, and loses far less leaf and dry matter in the field.
Silopak net wrap is extruded and knitted in our own factory in China. We have supplied it since 2011, under the Silopak brand and as OEM for many others.

Roll Carry Handles
Easier and safer to lift onto the baler, even in a wet field.
| Width (m) | Length (m) | Rolls per Pallet |
|---|---|---|
| 0.52 | 2000 | 40 |
| 1.05 | 2000 | 20 |
| 1.25 | 3000 | 16 |

OEM and private label printing on the net and the core is available across all widths.
What the Roll Looks Like
Each roll ships on a rigid core with carry handles built into the packaging, so an operator can lift it onto the baler cleanly without dropping it in the field.
The net is knitted, not woven. That is what lets it stretch across the bale shoulder and grip the crop instead of cutting into it.
Silopak Net Wrap in the Field and Ready to Ship
Why Net Wrap Beats Twine
- Faster baling. Two or three wraps finish a bale in seconds. Twine needs 20 or more turns, so the baler sits still longer and the operator covers less ground per hour.
- Less dry matter loss. The net holds the outer layer in place instead of letting leaf shatter and fall away during ejection and handling.
- Better weather shedding. A tight net surface sheds rain off the shoulder of the bale. Twine leaves gaps where water sits and rots the crop underneath.
- Cleaner bale shape. Bales stay round through stacking and transport, which matters when they go under film or into a tube line.
Choosing the Right Width
Net wrap width should match the chamber of your baler, and it should slightly exceed the bale width so the net rolls over the edge and grips the shoulder. That edge to edge coverage is what stops the outer layer peeling back in the wind.
- 1.23 m and 1.25 m. The standard for most round balers producing 1.2 m wide bales. This is our highest volume size.
- 1.05 m. For narrower chambers and smaller balers common in Southeast Asia and parts of Europe.
- 0.52 m. For compact and mini round balers, and for specialist crops.
If you are unsure, send us the make and model of your baler and we will tell you which width and roll length to order.
Getting the Most From Each Roll
- Set the correct number of turns. Two full turns is the usual minimum. Three turns for heavy, wet, or stalky crops, or if the bales will be moved several times.
- Check the tension. Loose net leaves a soft shoulder that lets rain in. Over-tight net can tear at the edge on a sharp bale.
- Store rolls dry and shaded. UV stabilisation protects the net in the field, not in a yard for a full season before use.
- Use the carry handles. Dropping a roll can crush the core and cause the net to feed unevenly.
Net Wrap or Round Bale Film?
Net wrap holds the bale together. It is not an oxygen barrier. If you are making silage rather than dry hay, the bale still needs to be wrapped in silage film afterwards to seal out air.
There is a third option. Round bale film replaces net wrap inside the baler chamber, sealing the bale with film from the start. It gives a tighter oxygen barrier, easier recycling because the whole bale is one material, and no net to cut away at the feed face. It costs more per bale, so most operations still choose net wrap for hay and straw, and film for high value silage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What material is Silopak bale net wrap made from?
100% high density polyethylene, UV stabilised, with no recycled content or filler. Regrind is the most common cause of net that snaps in the baler or degrades early in the sun.
How long is each roll?
A guaranteed minimum of 2000 metres, and up to 3600 metres depending on the width. The length printed on the label is the length on the core.
How long will the net last outdoors?
Every roll is warranted for 12 months against UV degradation.
Do you accept OEM and private label orders?
Yes, across all widths. We can print your brand on the net and on the core, and match your packaging.
Can I use net wrap on square bales?
No. Net wrap is designed for round balers. Square bales are held with twine and then wrapped in silage film if they are being ensiled.
