Our Twines Product Line
Twisted Twine
Made from virgin polypropylene for maximum performance, our twisted twines are suitable for almost any application because of their strength, softness, lightweight, and excellent knotting characteristics. Our polypropylene twines are also resistant to moisture, mildew, and chemicals to ensure optimal performance.
Baling Twine
Our baling twines serve any company with a manual industrial baling machine, from supermarkets and big-box stores to pharmacies, office supply centers, hospitals, carton manufacturers, and more. Whether baling scrap metal, cardboard, or carpeting, our heavy-duty polypropylene twines are as strong as baling wire. Yet they’re easier to use, more economical, and safer.
Flat Ribbon Twine
Providing a broad bearing surface for safely securing sensitive items, our flat ribbon twine (particularly used by greenhouses in RASSPE tying machines) comes in four standard sizes to meet most businesses’ binding and shipping needs.
Greenhouse Twine
We help agricultural businesses thrive with a wide range of soft, uniform twines ideal for supporting greenhouse vegetables, including unique twines developed for tomatoes and peppers. Agricultural businesses also use our twines for nursery tree branch support, root ball tying, grape vine support, Christmas tree baling, and many other applications.
Christmas Tree Twine
Our Christmas tree twine is purpose-built to secure and transport fresh-cut trees with minimal damage. Designed to be strong and flexible, this twine holds up under tension while remaining easy to handle outdoors. It comes in various colours, making it simple for growers to match twine colour to tree size or price tier—an easy system for staff and customers alike. Whether bundling trees for transport or prepping them for retail, this twine is a practical and dependable choice for tree farms looking to streamline operations and protect their product.
Twisted Monofilament Twine
Our monofilament twines are made by twisting multiple ends of white polypropylene monofilament together to create a strong and durable twine. We then overlay the twisted lines with a thicker blue monofilament line, meant to hold the twine together in its twisted form. The result is a strong, uniform twine that can be used for various purposes.
Twine Strength Ratings
Not all tying jobs require the same level of strength. We’ve categorized our twines into three strength levels based on average tensile strength. This helps you select the right twine for your application, whether bundling lightweight products or securing dense hay bales.
