Key Questions to Ask When Ordering Galvanized Wire Loop Ties 16 gauge

Gauge is a measurement that originated within the manufacturing process, and refers to the thickness or diameter of a given wire. Wire gauge is typically measured using the American Wire Gauge system, and serves as the standard way to denote wire size in North America.

Gauge inversely relates to wire diameter, meaning a lower gauge corresponds to a thicker wire diameter. This is because gauge refers to the number of times a wire has been drawn and stretched through progressively smaller dies during manufacturing. A 12 gauge wire, for example, has been drawn through twelve dies, decreasing its diameter each time.

Wire gauge is an important consideration for effective baling operations. Wire gauge often determines tensile strength and load strength, and ultimately how well a wire can handle the pressure and weight of the materials being baled. 

How to choose wire gauge size

Wire gauge choice is influenced by factors such as the type of materials being baled (cardboard, plastic, metal), the type of baling equipment used, and the size and density of bales.

To find the best wire for your baler, it is important to consult your baling machine manufacturer. Here is a list of wire gauges commonly used in different types of balers for baling recyclables:

Vertical balers

• Cardboard: 12–14 gauge
• Newspaper: 12–13 gauge
• Plastic shrink wrap: 13–14 gauge
• Other plastics: 12–13 gauge
• Foam: 11 gauge

Horizontal balers

• Cardboard: 11–13 gauge
• Newspaper: 12–13 gauge
• Plastic shrink wrap: 11–12 gauge
• Other plastics: 11–12 gauge
• Foam: 11 gauge

Automatic baling machines

• Cardboard: 10–12 gauge
• Newspaper: 10–12 gauge
• Plastic shrink wrap: 10–12 gauge
• Other plastics: 10–12 gauge
• Foam: 10–11 gauge
