Export Wool Packs

Wool entering the export supply chain moves through high-compression pressing, multiple handling points, container stacking, and long-distance freight before it reaches international markets. At each stage, packaging integrity directly affects wool quality, contamination risk, and the cost of failure.

Ritex supplies export-grade woolpacks and scourer wrappers built for these conditions — HDPE and nylon farm woolpacks, scourer wrappers, and specialised formats including coffin-style export bags and custom constructions. All products are manufactured from new, purpose-built materials through long-standing supply relationships, with strict quality standards applied across every batch.

With more than three decades in wool packaging, Ritex is the exclusive NZ agent for Thai Pack, manufactured by Thai Formosa. We supply processors and exporters across New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Spain, and Uruguay.

HDPE Wool Packs

  • Ritex supplies new, export-grade woolpacks for farm use, suitable for standard wool pressing and export preparation.

    HDPE Synthetic Woolpacks
    High-density polyethylene woolpacks designed for strength, durability, and consistent bale shape during pressing, storage, and transport.

    Nylon Woolpacks
    Nylon packs offer excellent tensile strength and abrasion resistance, preferred in certain handling and pressing environments.

    Both options are suitable for greasy wool destined for export and are manufactured from new, purpose-built material — not recycled fabric

Stacks of white export wool packs

  • For wool entering the scouring process, Ritex supplies specialised scourer-grade wrappers, designed to meet the handling and cleanliness expectations of modern scour plants.

    HDPE Scourer Wrappers
    High-density polyethylene wrappers developed for dense baling and controlled handling through scouring operations.

    Nylon Scourer Wrappers
    Nylon wrappers offering superior strength for high-compression applications and demanding processing environments.

    These wrappers are produced from clean materials to reduce contamination risk and support smooth processing through scouring facilities.

Why choose Ritex for export wool packaging?

  • Ritex Woolpacks are produced by Thai Formosa, a leader in international woolpack manufacture. These packs meet the highest export-grade specifications for the wool trades.

    Ritex wool packs are widely chosen by wool operations for consistent quality and reliable performance from farm gate to international export.

  • Farm woolpacks are designed for pressing and short-haul storage. Export bales face a different load profile — higher compression ratios, more handling points, container environments, and freight routes measured in weeks rather than days. Every product in the Ritex export range is manufactured to perform across these specific conditions from the outset, not modified from lighter-duty formats.

  • Every product in the Ritex export range is manufactured from new, purpose-built materials. No recycled or repurposed fabric. No variable condition or unknown prior use. For wool entering international markets where fibre contamination is a documented quality and commercial risk, traceable and consistent packaging is not optional.

  • Beyond the standard range, Ritex works with established manufacturing partners to source wool packaging to specific requirements. This includes packs with integrated cloth or lids, non-standard dimensions for specific markets, and custom material constructions for particular processing or logistics conditions. Lead times and minimum order quantities apply — contact Ritex to discuss your specification.
