Shavings Bags
HDPE bale bags built for wood shavings supply and distribution
For wood shavings suppliers and animal bedding distributors, bale presentation matters. Recycled woolpacks are a common default — but they come off-farm with worn seams, residual grease, and inconsistent condition. For a product sold by the bale to farms, stables, and horticultural operations, the packaging reflects the product inside it.
Ritex HDPE Shavings Bags are purpose-built for dry bulk fill. Made from High-Density Polyethylene, each bag weighs 1.1kg — lighter than a standard 1.4kg woolpack — with the same capacity and enough structural strength to hold a compressed bale without tearing. Dimensions are fixed: 70 × 70cm base, 98cm side seam, 46cm flap. Every bag is new, clean, and flat-packed.
Suited to pine wood shavings, sawdust, and other dry bulk fill. Available in bulk, with custom sizing options for higher-volume or specific-format requirements.
Why choose Ritex Shavings Bags?
-
Recycled woolpacks are designed for wool, not wood shavings. Worn seams, residual lanolin, and variable condition are common. Ritex Shavings Bags are new each time — consistent construction, clean interior, no contamination from prior use. For animal bedding supply, where end customers expect a clean product, that distinction is worth making.
-
At 1.1kg per bag, these are lighter than a standard 1.4kg woolpack. The weight saving is meaningful across high-volume baling runs — less bag weight per load, easier handling on the floor and the forklift. HDPE construction maintains tear resistance and seam strength at the reduced weight.
-
A fixed base (70 × 70cm), side seam (98cm), and flap (46cm) means bales stack uniformly, palletise cleanly, and arrive in consistent condition. No variation in bag size to account for during filling, wrapping, or dispatch. Consistent presentation across every bale, every run.
-
Bags arrive flat-packed, storing efficiently until needed. Practical for timber yards, processing facilities, and farm operations that hold bag stock on-site and fill to order. No wasted storage space, no pre-filling required.
-
Pine wood shavings, sawdust, dry bedding material — these bags handle dry bulk fill across timber processors, animal bedding suppliers, and horticultural distribution operations. One bag format that works across the supply chain from mill to end customer.
