How to Know which Baling Wire Better Suits Your Needs
Posted on
But it’s not confined to construction and industrial use; it’s a product that some find vital in the home for simple DIY and gardening work. For many, baling wire is an incredibly useful product that we can come to rely upon as essential to our working or even home lives. Of course, it can take a number of different forms so it can be difficult to work out which type of wire is best suited to you and your work, if you’re not familiar with the product. Baling wire could be the exact thing you’re looking for in your home or professional life, to suit any number of jobs and purposes and to make them easier. But if you choose to use baling wire, it’s important to know which form of it is best suited to you and your needs, as the different types and forms of the metal suit a number of different purposes. So could baling wire be of use to you and what type of it would better suit your needs?
Baling wire is a form of wire made from steel that has been annealed, which in turn produces a higher carbon content. The result is a wire product that is strong and durable, but that retains its flexibility and malleability, so is incredibly versatile and can then be used for a number of different jobs and projects. At the same time, it’s relatively cheap to make and produce, so it can become invaluable to those industries that have a great use for it.

As mentioned earlier, baling wire was originally used in the agricultural industry to bale together bundles of hay. Nowadays, it has long since been deemed unsuitable for that use, after animals would either attempt to chew through the wire or discovered small pieces of leftover wire and ingest it, which needless to say could cause serious problems. The resulting waste of both materials and livestock resulted in alternative methods being used for the purpose. But baling wire’s ability to compress large amounts of material safely together has since been appropriated in a number of different ways, for various industries and sectors. It is a prime tool in the packaging industry, for example, as it is guaranteed to safely bundle together items, that can then be safely stored and transported, without issue. Equally, it is vital in waste management and recycling. As with packaging, baling wire enables the material to be compressed into secure, uniform bundles that can then be efficiently and safely stored, taking up less space than they would otherwise, and eventually transported and sold.
Of course, away from the industrial uses, baling wire can also be extremely useful for smaller jobs, gardening work and even DIY projects. The baling wire you will need comes down to the job you need it for and the scale of the work.
The different forms of baling wire include the following:
- Cut and looped
This form of baling wire is ultimately to facilitate human, hands on use of the wire to secure objects together, without the use of a machine. When you’re in need or precision, having the ability to secure it yourself is vital, which is where cut and looped baling wire comes in. As it is individually sized to the customer’s requirements, it allows for that precision. It is also the ideal wire for smaller DIY and gardening jobs. If you need to fix a garden fence, for example, or mesh smaller amounts of material together, this would be the type of baling wire that would be best suited to you. There are even those that get creative and use it to make jewellery and art. It offers that hands-on precision when you need it most. - Formers
Requiring the use of baling wires, formers are most often used in packaging, waste management and recycling. The formers can secure a large amount of materials together and are strong and flexible enough to adapt according to the size of the material in question. When it comes to waste and recycling, the machine can compress large amounts of these waste materials into bales, making them far easier to transport between each stage of the disposal process. When it comes to packaging, they provide strong and secure packing, which guarantees the safety of the product inside. - Rewound coils
Rewound coils also require a baling machine for proper use. The main benefit of this form of baling wire is its flexibility. The baling wire will be produced to specific customer requirement, shrink wrapped and delivered on palates when needed, for easy transport and storage. - Cut bars
Cut bars are of most use in the galvanising process, which can involve a number of different methods, but usually involves the wire being dipped in a molten liquid. The cut bars of baling wire are sturdy enough to withstand the process and dip the metals into the solution. It’s an important part of the process that helps to ensure it is all done safely. - Catchweight coils.
This form of baling wire is predominantly used by the steel industry, more specifically, steel stockholders. When it comes to transporting large amounts of steel as used in construction, for example, safe storage and transport is vital and the ductility of baling wire means that catchweight coils are the best way to bundle together large amounts of steel at once.
With a number of different types of baling wire available, most of which can be provided to the customer’s specific requirements, the exact type of baling wire you will need will be easy to find and it could become something you heavily rely upon. The form of wire necessary will come down to the job at hand, but with so many different types to choose from, finding the right one for you, no matter what you need it for, shouldn’t be hard.
