At Trunel Bags, we understand the challenges of preserving high-quality animal feed in South Africa’s demanding climate. Our premium silage wrap is engineered to deliver airtight protection, fast fermentation, and long-lasting storage. Within just 24–48 hours, it drops silage pH to 3.8–4.2, effectively suppressing spoilage microbes and locking in nutrients. 

Designed for local conditions where bale weights range from 400–900kg, our 500m rolls cover up to 100 bales per unit. With technical specs of 25–30 microns thickness, our wrap offers the ideal balance of strength and flexibility. The white outer layers reflect harsh UV rays, while the black inner layers block out light to preserve protein and vitamins—meeting Grain SA guidelines for feed quality. 

Built for South Africa’s Fields and Farms

South Africa’s agriculture is diverse, and so are the applications of our silage bale wrap. 

  • North West and Free State: Secure maize silage for dairy and feedlot operations. 
  • Western Cape: Protect lucerne and pasture bales for export and local supply. 
  • KwaZulu-Natal: Maintain sugarcane by-products and mixed forage for intensive farming. 
  • Limpopo and Mpumalanga: Ensure fodder availability for smallholder farmers during the dry season.

South Africa produces over 17 million tons of maize annually, and proper wrapping ensures this vital feed remains consistent and nutritious. Our wrap is compatible with both round and square balers, making it a reliable choice for commercial farms, cooperatives, and family operations alike. 

For farmers supplying Rand Agri containerised silage exports, Trunel Bags’ wrap maintains stability during long-haul transit to Africa and beyond—ensuring feed arrives fresh and valuable. 

We also sell vegetable bags. Trunel Bags is the #1 leading weed mat manufacturer in South Africa.
