These are the most common types of balers used for baling cardboard, plastic, textiles, or other packaging materials. Found everywhere from distribution centers and manufacturing facilities to warehouses, recycling facilities, and hardware stores, these balers rely on single loop bale ties.

Single loop bale ties are available in two types of wire &#; galvanized and black annealed. Galvanized bale ties, which make up 90% of the market, are silver and shiny (akin to a chain-link fence) and are clean and easy to handle. The black annealed bale ties are black in color and offer a bit more stretch, but they can be a bit oily and may rust when exposed to the elements.
The lengths of single loop bale ties can range from 10&#; to 22&#;, and the wire diameters can be anywhere from 15 gauge to 11 gauge. This depends on the size and weight of your bales.
Gauge is a measurement that originated within the manufacturing process, and refers to the thickness or diameter of a given wire. Wire gauge is typically measured using the American Wire Gauge system, and serves as the standard way to denote wire size in North America.
Gauge inversely relates to wire diameter, meaning a lower gauge corresponds to a thicker wire diameter. This is because gauge refers to the number of times a wire has been drawn and stretched through progressively smaller dies during manufacturing. A 12 gauge wire, for example, has been drawn through twelve dies, decreasing its diameter each time.
Wire gauge is an important consideration for effective baling operations. Wire gauge often determines tensile strength and load strength, and ultimately how well a wire can handle the pressure and weight of the materials being baled.
How to choose wire gauge size
Wire gauge choice is influenced by factors such as the type of materials being baled (cardboard, plastic, metal), the type of baling equipment used, and the size and density of bales.
To find the best wire for your baler, it is important to consult your baling machine manufacturer. Here is a list of wire gauges commonly used in different types of balers for baling recyclables:
Vertical balers
- Cardboard: 12&#;14 gauge
- Newspaper: 12&#;13 gauge
- Plastic shrink wrap: 13&#;14 gauge
- Other plastics: 12&#;13 gauge
- Foam: 11 gauge
Horizontal balers
- Cardboard: 11&#;13 gauge
