Silage film — choosing thickness and roll
Selection configurator · Cotesi
Choose the film for silage
The film is a decision for the wrapper, not the baler. The thickness depends on how long the bale has to last.
How long must the bale last?
We calculate consumption only from your data. The Cotesi catalogue gives metres per roll, not per bale. How much goes into each bale depends on its size, density and the owijarki settings. Without this figure we will calculate consumption at quotation.

Cotesi film — both configurations
| Produkt | Thickness | Roll length | Width | Kolor | Rolek / paleta |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BALPAQ SUPER 7 Layers · 25 µm | 25 µm | 1500 m | 750 mm | Green, Black, White | 40 |
| BALPAQ SUPER 7 Layers · 21 µm | 21 µm | 1900 m | 750 mm | Green, Black, White | 20 |
This is the entire film range in the Cotesi catalogue: one product — BALPAQ SUPER 7 Layers — in two published configurations (25 µm / 1,500 m and 21 µm / 1,900 m). We do not add variants that the manufacturer does not list. Note: Maxicover Premium is a net, not a film — despite the misleading name, the catalogue places it in the net range, so you will find it on the net page. The full offer is in Baling materials.
Good to know
21 or 25 microns?
Cotesi publishes two configurations of BALPAQ SUPER 7 Layers: 25 µm on a 1,500 m roll and 21 µm on a 1,900 m roll. The thicker film (25 µm) better resists punctures and long storage; the thinner one (21 µm) gives a longer roll, meaning fewer roll changes on the wrapper with shorter storage. This is the only difference the manufacturer states — the other parameters are common to both.
How much film goes on a bale?
It depends on the bale diameter and the number of wrapping layers — the Cotesi catalogue gives the roll length, not metres per bale. Enter the number of bales and the metres of film per bale (from the wrapper settings) in the configurator, and we will calculate consumption; without that figure, we will calculate it together during quoting.
Why 7 layers?
BALPAQ is produced using blown film technology in 7 layers — according to the manufacturer, this gives higher puncture resistance than 3- and 5-layer films (which matters especially for square bales, where the corners are aggressive), high stretchability, minimal CO₂ and oxygen permeation losses, and UV stabilisation for 1 year.
In which colours?
Green, black and white — both configurations (21 and 25 µm) are available in each of these colours. The film width is 750 mm.
