Lastic-Tubes® are manufactured using 7-layer Smartstructure™ technology which provides long-term protection. Combining low-density (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) with 7-layer Smartstructure™ technology generates a stronger and tougher film, without compromise. Tubes made from this technology are less likely to tear or puncture during the handling and covering operation because they are tougher and stronger. The exclusive stretch tube has a memory design technology that automatically shrinks down tight around the bale, eliminating oxygen and creating the ideal environment for fermentation. A fast and efficient way to preserve baled silage, the Lastic-Tube® system provides a practical way to gain improved palatability of soft-textured baled silage. Bloat and other digestive problems are also reduced, and there is less waste compared to dry hay used in traditional round-bale feeders. Baled silage is readily adaptable to most dry hay systems and can be unrolled in the field with less leaf loss than dry hay. It can also be chopped and fed from the tube.

• The fastest, most efficient way to protect and ensile hay and cereal forages of all types
• Can be used with round or large square bale systems
• Bales for silage can be put up at higher moisture – between 40% and 60%, reducing leaf loss and weather delays
• Because of its unique formulation, the strong, tear-resistant Lastic Tube automatically shrinks down tight against the bale. This eliminates oxygen and creates an air tight environment for fermentation, to produce the highest quality silage and keep it that way until required
• Designed to withstand New Zealand’s climate and warranted for 12 months against manufacturer’s defects
