THE SINGLE SOURCE FOR ALL YOUR BALING WIRE NEEDS
Double Loop Bale Ties & Baling Wire
High-strength, snap-together baling wire engineered for extreme tension and maximum operational efficiency.
Double Loop Bale Ties for Fast, High-Pressure Tying
Eastern Wire Products’ double loop bale ties are designed for the most demanding recycling environments. Engineered for speed and extreme tension, these ties snap together in seconds, eliminating the need for manual twisting or knotting.
Whether you are baling high-rebound materials like tires or scrap metal, these ties are cut to precise lengths to ensure uniform bale size and consistent weight across your entire operation.
Available Options & Specifications
We offer a heavy-duty range of specifications designed to handle materials that standard ties can’t.
Gauge Range
-
9-gauge (heaviest) to 14-gauge diameters
-
High-carbon steel content for maximum load strength and minimal elongation
Lengths
-
6’ to 20’ lengths available
-
Precision-cut to ensure uniform bale dimensions
-
Custom fabrication available to your exact length and gauge specs
Finishes
-
Bright Basic – Clean, polished finish with reduced friction for indoor storage Galvanized – Zinc-coated for maximum corrosion resistance in outdoor or harsh environments
Designed for Speed, Strength, and Precision
In high-volume operations, every second counts. Our double loop bale ties are engineered to:
-
Snap together instantly for significantly faster cycle times
-
Handle high-rebound expansion from materials like foam and rubber
-
Provide snag-free transport with covered loop ends that won't tangle
-
Ensure consistent bale weight through precision-length fabrication
The result: An incredibly strong, "zip-tie" style connection that holds under extreme pressure without the risk of snapping or slipping.
What Are Double Loop Bale Ties?
A double loop bale tie (also known as a quick-link tie) features a factory-formed loop on both ends. Unlike single loop ties that require a manual twist, these ties are wrapped around the material and the two loops are simply snapped together by hand or with a pulling tool.
This design is the industry standard for "high-rebound" materials - items that want to expand the moment the baler ram retracts. The double loop system provides a secure, fixed-length lock that prevents the bale from expanding beyond its intended size.
Built for Real-World Applications
Our double loop bale ties are the preferred choice for industries dealing with "expanding" or heavy-duty commodities:
-
Tires and rubber recycling
-
Scrap metal and aluminum
-
High-density foam and carpet padding
-
Textiles, fibers, and cotton
-
Heavy-duty plastic and PET
Best for:
-
Vertical (downstroke) balers
-
Manual-tie horizontal balers
-
Materials with extreme expansion force
Packaging That Protects Your Product
Handling heavy-gauge wire shouldn't be a logistical headache. We’ve integrated features that protect the wire and your team.
Packaging Options:
-
Heavy-duty gaylord boxes strapped on pallets
-
Straight shipments available for select applications
Handling Features:
-
Integrated Slings: Allows for easy transport via carpet pole or tow motor boom
-
Covered Loop Ends: Eliminates snagging between bundles and prevents handler injury
-
Moisture Protection: Stretch-wrapped packaging to maintain finish integrity
Because straight shipments can be more susceptible to transit damage, many customers choose to arrange freight directly.
How to Choose the Right Double Loop Bale Tie
High-pressure baling requires the right marriage of gauge and strength.
Choose Your Gauge:
-
9–10 gauge → Extreme tension: Scrap metal, tires, and heavy-duty recycling
-
11–14 gauge → High expansion: Foam, plastic, and fibers
Choose Your Finish:
-
Bright Basic – Cost-effective, reduced friction, best for indoor use
-
Galvanized – Required for outdoor storage or long-term weather exposure
Choose Your Length:
-
Precise fit is critical for double loop ties; we fabricate to your exact equipment specs to ensure the "snap" is perfect every time.

FAQs About Double Loop Bale Ties
What is the advantage of double loop over single loop?
Double loop ties are faster to apply and stronger. Because they snap together at a fixed length, they are better at containing materials with "memory" (like foam or tires) that try to expand after baling.
What materials require double loop ties?
They are best for high-rebound materials including scrap metal, tires, foam, and heavy plastics where a manual twist might slip or break under the expansion pressure.
What does "high carbon content" mean for my bale?
High carbon steel is less likely to stretch (elongate). This ensures that once the loops are snapped, the bale stays the exact size it was when it left the chamber.
Are custom lengths available?
Yes. Unlike many retailers who only stock standard 14' lengths, we can fabricate ties from 6''+ to match your specific machinery.
Do I need special tools to use these?
While they can be snapped by hand, most operations use a simple hand-held hook tool to pull and snap the loops together quickly and securely.
