When it comes to keeping your forage fresh, nothing beats high‑quality silage plastic. At Net Wrap, we understand that farmers need tough, reliable materials—especially when the alternative is spoiled feed and lost profits. That’s why our plastic silage covers are designed to deliver durability, superior oxygen barriers, and weather resistance.
1. What Is Silage Plastic—and Why Should You Care?
Silage plastic, sometimes called oxygen barrier film, is the protective layer laid over silage piles or bales. Its core purpose? Prevent air and moisture ingress, which helps preserve the forage’s nutritional integrity. Without this critical protection, silage can fail—leading to spoilage, waste, and even dangerous mold.
Net Wrap’s plastic silage covers take performance a step further. Crafted using multilayer technology, they combine robust tear resistance with excellent UV stability. That means your silage stays fresher, longer—bale after bale, season after season.
2. Benefits That Make a Real Difference
- Enhanced Preservation: A good silage plastic barrier blocks oxygen, keeping fermentation anaerobic—perfect for retaining feed value.
- Toughness in the Field: Sharp edges and rough terrain? No problem. Net Wrap’s plastic silage covers resist punctures and tears, protecting your silage investment.
- UV Protection: Farmers know sun exposure weakens films over time. Our solutions resist degradation even under harsh sunlight, extending usable life.
- Cost-Effective in the Long Run: Spending a bit more upfront on superior silage plastic means less spoilage—and an excellent return on investment.
- Eco‑Smart Options: Interested in sustainability? Net Wrap offers specialty plastic silage covers that incorporate recycled content, balancing environmental responsibility with performance.

4. Getting the Most from Your Plastic Silage Covers
- Proper Application: Clean and trim bale edges before laying down your silage plastic, then smooth tightly—no air pockets!
- Secure the Edges: Use weights or specialized edge‑tapes (hey, perhaps from Net Wrap too!) to anchor the film and prevent wind damage.
- Dispose or Recycle Responsibly: Reclamation programs help reduce plastic waste—good for your fields, and great for the planet.
