Nylon Wool Packs
AWEX-approved packing for Merino & fine wool
Fine wool commands a premium at auction. How it's presented in the pack affects how it's graded, valued, and received at the other end. For Merino and other fine wool clips, nylon outperforms HDPE — the smooth inner surface reduces fibre snagging, and the breathable construction supports presentation through storage and transport.
Ritex supplies nylon woolpacks manufactured by Thai Formosa — known in the trade as Thai Pack. These packs are AWEX-approved and built to meet export-grade specifications for both the New Zealand and Australian wool markets. Thai Formosa was involved in the development of the original AU/NZ Woolpack Standard — the compliance credentials go back to the foundation of the specification itself.
Ritex is the exclusive NZ agent for Thai Pack and a member of the National Council of NZ Wool Interests Woolpack Compliance Framework. Every pack is new, traceable, and backed by Ritex's quality guarantee.

Why choose Ritex Nylon Woolpacks
-
Nylon's smooth inner surface minimises fibre snagging during filling and pressing. For high-value Merino and fine wool clips, that matters — pack damage affects presentation, and presentation affects price. HDPE suits general wool handling; nylon is the right choice when fibre quality needs to be protected.
-
These packs are manufactured by Thai Formosa, an AWEX-approved supplier. They meet export-grade specifications for the New Zealand and Australian wool trades. Thai Formosa was involved in developing the original AU/NZ Woolpack Standard — compliance is built into the manufacturer's history, not added as an afterthought.
-
Packed 25 per bale at approximately 34kg — half the weight of a traditional 50-pack bale. Easier to move in the shed, the store, or on the ute. Safer for two-person lifts without the handling strain.
-
Every pack is new. No recycled or second-use material. Consistent construction, consistent condition, every time. No variation to account for when you're packing a premium product.
-
Thai Pack nylon woolpacks have been in consistent supply through Ritex for more than three decades. Farmers, classers, brokers, and exporters handling fine wool across New Zealand rely on that supply continuity season after season.
-
Ritex supplies nylon woolpacks to brokers, merchants, and rural supply stores across New Zealand. Consistent stock and reliable lead times — so you're not chasing packs at shearing time.
