Please do not store your net wrap outside. Condensation from being outside can lead to water damage inside the packaging resulting in the carboard core expanding or swelling so it will not work on your baler without having to drill out the excess swell.

No, that is not a product that we produce. That is an extruded product. All of our netwrap is knitted. We can help with baler adjustments for any customers currently using it that switches to our product.

Most labels have long lengths available in various lengths with the exceptions of AmericaNet and Varsity Net.

No, but our rolls are often up to 12-15 lbs lighter than competitors due to less plastic.

Bridon (and our parent company Tama) have spent a lot on research to come up with a product that uses proprietary materials and innovative manufacturing that allows us to make a product that uses less plastic but at the same time gives more strength to the finished product.

All of Bridon-USA netwrap products have a graphic showing how many wraps are needed to hold a bale together for certain crops on the netwrap sleeve.   For example:  Armour Net- 2 wraps are needed for alfalfa, 3 wraps are needed for straw, cereral grains, coastal Bermuda, and wheat hay, and 4 wraps for cornstalks, sudex, haygrazer, and milo stalks.

The amount of bales depends on the bale size and length of the roll of netwrap. We have a quick reference card that outlines the number of bales per roll.

48" & 51" netwrap have 16 rolls per pallet. 64" & 67" netwrap have 12 rolls per pallet.

The amount of wraps depends on the product and the crop being baled. We have our recommended number of wraps on each roll.

When using Bridon Max netwrap - 4 wraps

We have Bridon Support, which means we have people in the field who are experts in solving issues.  We can come out to your farm, and help you find solutions to your problems.  9 times out of 10 we can find a fix to the issues that you are experiencing- in most cases it is a simple baler adjustment. 

Each roll of netwrap has a unique identification code inside the tube. Your Territory Manager will work with you to gather information and help resolve the service request.

Magnet or Balekeeper is a very good standard net wrap. Integra series or CNH Legacy is 10% stronger. Bridon Max or Armour net is 10% Stronger than the Integra Series or CNH Legacy product. Bridon Max or Armour net has a different resin, which makes it 10% stronger than Integra or CNH Legacy. This also allows the product to be lighter in weight yet gives you the strength you need.

Netwrap has vertical strands called  Franze’s and and the zig zag strands are called the Schuss’s.  All the strength of netwrap is in the Franze.  In fact you can cut the schuss out of the netwrap and the bale will still hold together.  This is important to understand because some netwrap manufacturers will add plastic to the schuss by making an “X” out of it or doubling the schuss to say it is stronger.  This is false, the only job of the schuss is to space out the franzes. This added plastic can cause ridges in the rolls and uneven feeding in some balers.

We offer both white and green netwrap for most items. There are a few skus that are only available in white.

Depending on your operation and what your goals are, Bridon Max and Armour Net allows you to put on the least amount of wraps while maintaining strength.  This allows you to have the least amount of plastic on the farm, and is more cost effective per bale.

No, there can be many differences from one manufacturer to another, based on many factors. Even within Bridon, we manufacture many different types of twines, with different specifications, for each application. Contact our experts for more information.

Yes, some twine manufacturers use other plastics and additives that typically degrade the performance of the twine, either while being used in a baler or while bales are being stored. To ensure you’re using the best quality twines, choose Bridon, a manufacturer you can trust, with a history of quality baler twines.

Yes, Bridon twine can be stored outside. We use higher than average amounts of UV stabilizer to protect the twine from UV degradation. Although, for long-term storage, we recommend storing all agricultural plastics inside, whenever possible. Protecting your investment will pay off in the long run.

Yes! Baler twine can be recycled and reintegrated back into baler twines for reuse. The process involves collection from the farm, sorting, cleaning, shredding/ grinding, extrusion/ pelletizing, prior to reuse. The resulting resin then becomes what’s known as “Post Consumer (Recycled) Resin” or “PCR”. We are involved in nearly all aspects of this process in an effort to better utilize our resources.

There are national and local collection schemes throughout North America, which aid in the collection and transportation of used agricultural plastics, including baler twine. For more information, please contact your local Bridon representative. Also, be sure to separate your different types of plastics, to help us in the sorting process.

Bridon twines are manufactured using the most advanced equipment and techniques, with higher specification resins, which create strong twine without excess thickness. This means Bridon twine is less bulky than a traditional twine of equivalent strength, which enables more stable and secure knots. Bridon Max twines are overbuilt for higher performance in the field, to get you back to baling fast. For help in choosing the right twine for your application, please feel free to contact your nearest Bridon USA representative.

Each operator has their preferred type of knot. The most ideal knot should be compact and easily pass through the guides and tensioners, without coming un-tied. In addition, make sure the twines are routed properly within the baler, per the manufacturer's instructions provided with the baler. A few common knots for connecting spools may be square knots or reef knots, surgeon’s knots or fisherman’s knots, among others. For further assistance in tying proper knots, please contact your local Bridon Support professional.

The color of the twine has no impact on the strength or knotting performance. Many advancements in raw material and color pigment carriers have reduced the differences in how different colors perform in a baler. Not all manufacturers use high quality color additives, and resins but with Bridon, you know what to expect; consistency and reliability.

Yes, Bridon R&D works closely with all OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) engineering departments to test, validate and approve the use of the right twines for each application, taking the guesswork out of the equation, when using Bridon Twines.

Yes, careful handling of the spools will ensure that the twine will perform properly in the baler. If damaged spools are used in a baler, they may cause tying problems and damage to some components in the tying system.

Within Bridon, we incorporate additional PCR polypropylene into other products such as netwrap cradles, end bungs, carrying handles and other packaging components. In addition, the excess PCR material helps to reduce the plastic impact within the automotive and construction industries in what’s called an open loop process.

Fibrillation is the name to describe the fine mesh-like appearance of the twine when un-twisted. It is a part of the production process designed to make twine softer and more flexible to assist with tighter knot formation & knot holding capability. Quality fibrillation allows the twine to perform seamlessly in the tying system of the baler.

Bridon Max is give you a minimum knot strength and Black Gold gives you an average knot strength.

Tensile strength is the maximum breaking force of a specific twine, without a knot, when measured while being pulled between two opposing drums. Knot strength describes the maximum measured strength a twine containing a knot can achieve, before breaking while being pulled between two opposing drums.

Bridon twines contain nearly 100% high quality polypropylene, combined with color pigment, proprietary additives and UV stabilizers. We only use the highest quality resins and additives to provide premium mechanical properties & workability in the field.

The twine should unwind from the center of the spool in a counterclockwise direction. If the twine unwinds in a clockwise direction, the spool and/ or the label is upside-down.

Sisal is a naturally made product so it has inconsistencies (thin spots) whereas plastic twine gives you consistency in size and strength.

Standard Bridon twines are manufactured to be able to fit in common balers with smaller twine boxes. Bridon Endurance extended length spools offer many more feet per spool but are intended for modern balers with larger twine boxes.

Like all makes of twine, some balers may require slight adjustment to obtain the best knotting performance between different twine types and producers. For further assistance, please contact your Bridon Support professionals. Bridon twines provide peak performance with all makes and models of large square balers, when matched to the correct application, in a properly adjusted and maintained baler.

Since Impax technology twines contain up to 40% more twine in every spool, compared to standard twines, the cost per spool or cost per pound may seem relatively expensive. But don’t forget that each spool or each pound of twine can actually make many more bales than standard twines. This is where calculating the cost per 1,000’ feet or cost per square bale is key, to make a fair comparison. If you need assistance, please contact one of our Bridon Support experts and we’ll be happy to help.

Yes! Bridon is proud to introduce Bridon Max Twine with Impax Technology inside! This revolutionary & patented technology combines a smaller twine diameter with unique shock absorbing characteristics, which protects the knots from breaking, improves knotting performance and increases efficiency, all while reducing the amount of plastic needed for the season.

No. Like many of Bridon’s innovative products, other manufacturers try to replicate the cutting-edge products that Bridon produces, but they are unable to achieve a similar end result in their products. Genuine Bridon Impax Technology is the only advanced twine on the market that increases efficiency and productivity to a whole new level.

In many cases, operators can increase their efficiency by making heavier bales using Bridon Impax Technology twines. Heavier bales reduce the amount of twine consumed during a season, reduce transportation costs and reduce the amount of storage needed to protect the same amount of crop. Please contact your local Bridon expert to learn more about how we can help you make heavier bales and increase your overall efficiency.

Absolutely. All Bridon twines, including Impax twines are 100% recyclable and it’s our goal to be an active participant in doing our part to close the loop.

Before Bridon introduces any new product to the market, we invest many years & thousands of hours in the field to perfect the product for our end users to be proud to use our products. Impax Technology is no different. After over 6 years of development and millions of bales made all over the globe, we are confident that Bridon Max Impax Technology can improve nearly any operation.

The short answer: Many more bales! If we look at one example: We produce our standard Bridon Max 4,000’/ 550, which would make approximately 895 (3X4X8’) bales. If the Bridon Max with Impax Technology 5,300’/ 500 spools were used, an operator could make approximately 1,180 bales per baler load. That’s an increase of 285 more bales in every baler load of Bridon Impax Twine!

No, currently the rebate is $50 per pallet in the US and $75 per pallet for our new Bridon Max with IMPAX Technology twine and only payable on full pallet quantities.

You don’t have to! We now have a full range of heavy twines with Bridon Impax Technology. Choose the right twine for your application and goals and experience all the benefits that Impax provides to your operation. This includes; Many more bales per twine box load, more time tin the cab of the tractor, less time loading spools in the twine box, less misties and broken bales and less downtime.

Bridon Impax Technology was first developed for high density large square balers, since the twine was becoming increasingly thick to hold denser bales together, we found a new way to combine strength, while providing a smaller diameter twine. We now offer multiple types of heavy twines with Impax Technology – from medium twines to standard density & ultra-high density large square bales, we’ve got you covered.

Bridon Impax Technology twines provide noticeable advantages to any Large Square Baling operation. Due to the twine’s reduced diameter, we can provide many more feet per spool, which increases the number of bales an operator can make with each baler load of twine. The smaller diameter of the twine also reduces common tying issues experienced in the field, while reducing the wear and tear on the tying system components in the baler. Couple this with a large reduction in the amount of plastic used per bale or per season, you are helping to reduce your carbon footprint in your own operation.

Bridon-Usa offers a Full Line of Crop Packaging Products including ​ Grain and Silage Bags, Silage Wrap, Bunker Covers, Hay Tarps, sisal twine, and preservative options that fit your operation.

Calculate the amount of twine needed per bale. Bale length (X2) + bale height (X2) x number of knotters (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 knotters depending on baler) = total amount of twine used per bale. Example: Bale Length: 96 inches Bale Height: 36 inches # of Knotters: 6 ((96in X 2) + (36in X 2)) X 6/ 12in = 132 feet of twine needed per bale. We also recommend adding some additional length for the twine needed for each knot on the bale. (~2 feet additional length for a double knotter; ~1 foot additional length for a single knotter, per bale) 132 feet of twine per bale + 2 feet additional length for knots in a double knotter baler = 134 feet of twine needed per bale. Bridon USA guarantees the stated length of the spools & bales of twine, for your peace of mind during your buying decisions. Estimate the number of spools needed: Length per spool: 4,800 feet Length of twine needed per bale: /134 feet per bale # of square bales per spool = 35 square bales per spool Remember, in a double tie large square baler tying system, an upper and lower twine are needed for each knotter and may create some variances in total bale counts per baler load of twine. Using the number of bales per spool provides an estimate of the total possible number of bales with a full twine box of Bridon Twine.

Varying field conditions, weather and crop conditions can lead to the need to make some adjustments to your baler to make the baler and the netwrap work perfectly together.  Just as you most likely would not wear the same clothes when baling corn stalks in October vs baling hay in July your baler may need some small adjustments to run correctly.

Our Technical Managers have a total of nearly 100 years of experience in the field and technical aspects of the balers.  Since we cover such a large area we see many different “issues” that we can bring that experience to help you.

Cost per pound only considers the weight of plastic within a spool of twine but does not factor in the density or runnage of the twine, which can vary greatly from one manufacturer to another. This comparison can only be used if the two twines being compared are of identical runnage. Cost per square bale, based on an average bale length, compares an equal amount of twine needed to make one square bale and the associated cost of twine for each bale. Increasing average bale density can also help to reduce the twine cost per season of any given operation. Cost per 1,000 feet compares an equal length of twine, regardless of the density or runnage of the twine, for an equal length comparison.
