Twines (12 Twine / Ties)
Overview
Sisal twine is a traditional, dependable tying and bundling material made from natural plant fibre. This product is supplied as a convenient ball of sisal twine and is commonly chosen where a firm “bite” and good knot-holding are important for day-to-day tying tasks in agriculture, horticulture, warehousing and general packaging. The “2/300m” designation is a trade size/grade reference used for twines, and the ball format makes it easy to dispense by hand or from a simple holder without the tangles often associated with loose cord.
Because sisal is a natural fibre, it offers a tactile, slightly textured finish that helps knots stay put and makes it comfortable to handle for repetitive tying. It is also widely used where a more traditional look is preferred for presentation, crafts and rustic packaging.
Key Features
Natural sisal fibre
Made from plant-based fibre, sisal twine is a popular choice for users who prefer a natural material for tying, bundling and general-purpose lashing.
2-ply construction (2/…)
A 2-ply build is commonly used to balance strength and flexibility, helping the twine form secure knots while remaining easy to wrap and tie.
Ball format for easy dispensing
Supplied as a ball, the twine can be pulled off smoothly for quick tying tasks, whether you are working at a bench, in a packing area, or out in the yard.
Textured grip for knot security
Sisal’s natural texture provides friction, which can improve knot-holding compared with smoother synthetic cords in many everyday tying applications.
Versatile for packaging, farm and garden use
Suitable for bundling, tying, securing and general-purpose fastening across a wide range of environments.

2/300m - Sizal - 2.5kg Ball — Full Product Guide
This guide explains what sisal twine is, how it behaves in use, and how to choose and handle it effectively for tying and bundling tasks. As with many twines, the product may be offered in multiple pack options on the same page; the guidance below focuses on the material and format rather than a specific pack quantity.
How It Works
Sisal twine works by combining multiple strands (plies) of natural fibre into a single cord that can be wrapped, knotted and tensioned. The fibre’s surface texture increases friction between wraps and within knots, helping ties stay secure. The ball format allows you to pull off the length you need, cut it, and tie quickly without needing specialist tools.
Materials and Construction
Material: Sisal is a natural plant fibre commonly used for ropes and twines. It is valued for its firm feel and practical grip.
Construction: This twine is described as “2/300m”, indicating a 2-ply construction with a trade size/grade reference used for twines. Two plies are typically chosen to provide a reliable balance of strength and flexibility for everyday tying.
Form: Supplied as a 2.5kg ball, which is convenient for storage and dispensing.
Packaging and Dispensing Tips
- Use a simple dispenser: A hook, spindle or twine stand can help the ball unwind smoothly and reduce tangles.
- Cut cleanly: Use scissors or a safety knife for a neat cut; a clean end makes it easier to start a knot.
- Allow for knot length: When measuring, add extra length for wraps and knot tails, especially for bulky bundles.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is a tying twine rather than a floor covering, so floor compatibility is not applicable. However, for workplace use, consider keeping the ball in a holder to prevent it rolling underfoot and to maintain a tidy packing area.
Health and Safety
- Hand protection: For repetitive tying or higher-tension pulls, gloves can improve comfort and reduce abrasion from the natural fibre texture.
- Cutting safety: Use appropriate cutting tools and safe techniques when trimming lengths.
- Housekeeping: Store the ball in a dry, clean area and keep loose offcuts cleared to reduce trip hazards.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
General bundling: Tie together lightweight to medium bundles where a secure knot is needed.
Garden tying: Use for tying plants to stakes or supports where a natural look is preferred.
Packaging presentation: Add a rustic, traditional finish to parcels, boxes and wrapped goods.
Temporary securing: Useful for quick, temporary ties in workshops and warehouses.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Keep dry: Store in a dry environment to maintain handling characteristics and reduce the chance of fibre degradation.
- Avoid contamination: Keep away from oils, paints and chemicals if the twine will be used for presentation or clean packaging.
- Prevent tangles: Return the ball to its holder after use and avoid pulling from the side if it causes snagging.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Small packing bench: A packing team keeps a sisal twine ball on a simple spindle next to the tape dispenser. For irregular items that don’t suit tape alone, the operator pulls off a length, ties a quick wrap-and-knot around the parcel, and trims the ends. The textured fibre helps the knot stay secure during handling, and the natural finish complements kraft paper wrapping for a traditional look.
