Baling wire is essential in the recycling industry for bundling pressed materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics, foam and rubber. It is used in vertical and horizontal balers and must withstand high tension and rebound.
At Metalwire we supply three types of baling wire that together form our complete range: single-loop bale ties, double-loop bale ties and annealed wire. Each type is designed for a specific process and material, ensuring your bales remain safely, tightly and reliably secured — from press to transport.
Three types of baling wire for
every baling process
Our steel baling wire range consists of three variants, each with its own properties and applications within the recycling industry:
Single-loop bale ties – suitable for bundles with limited rebound, such as cardboard, film or soft plastics. The wire is closed manually, making it practical for compact balers or situations involving manual handling.
Double-loop bale ties – designed for bundles of highly expanding materials such as foam, tyres, felt and non-wovens. These quicklink wires lock automatically as the compressed material expands, making them ideal for balers with automatic closure and high tensile requirements.
Annealed wire – soft and flexible steel wire for tying, packaging and bundling various materials. Widely used in recycling, logistics and storage thanks to its smooth handling, both manually and in automated systems.
With these three baling wire variants in our range, we provide the right solution for virtually any type of baler and material in the recycling industry. This ensures your bales are bundled reliably, safely and efficiently – from pressing to transport and storage.
