Our Products
High-tensile woven polypropylene sleeves and rolls for sawmills, lumber yards, and wood exporters. Built for long outdoor exposure and rough handling.
Product Overview
Lumber wrap is a heavy-duty woven polypropylene fabric used to protect dimensioned lumber bundles during outdoor storage, yard handling, and long-distance transport. Manufactured from flat-tape PP yarn on circular looms, lumber wrap is available as tubular sleeves, half sleeves, and flat rolls. Unlike polyethylene stretch film, woven PP delivers superior tear and puncture resistance, withstands forklift tines, and provides UV stabilization that prevents breakdown during months of outdoor exposure.
Configurations
Full wrap-around sleeves that slide over lumber bundles. Provides complete 360° protection.
Open-ended wraps for partial coverage. Easier to apply on irregularly shaped loads.
Continuous flat sheets on rolls. Maximum flexibility for custom wrapping and covering.
Applications
From sawmill to job site — our lumber wrap performs in the toughest outdoor conditions.
Protect finished dimensional lumber bundles during outdoor yard storage and outbound shipment. Woven PP sleeves guard against rain, airborne dirt, and UV degradation while allowing residual moisture to escape — preventing mold and staining that downgrades lumber quality. Designed to withstand daily forklift handling and stacking in active mill yards.
Keep stored inventory protected from weather damage throughout the selling season. Lumber wrap maintains bundle unitization so loads stay tight and safe for forklift handling, reducing breakage and workplace hazards. Easy-to-apply sleeves speed up receiving and re-stocking operations.
Meet international shipping requirements for lumber wrapping during containerized and break-bulk ocean transit. Our wrap protects against salt spray, humidity, and extended port yard storage in harsh coastal conditions. Available with custom printing for destination market branding and regulatory compliance markings.
Wrap plywood, OSB, LVL beams, glulam, and other engineered wood products that require protection from moisture and handling damage. Custom widths accommodate non-standard panel and beam dimensions that standard lumber wrap sizes cannot cover. Lamination option adds a moisture barrier for sensitive engineered products.
Bundle firewood for retail and wholesale distribution with wrap that keeps loads unitized on pallets and in delivery trucks. Choose ventilated woven wrap for seasoned firewood that needs airflow, or laminated wrap for kiln-dried product that must stay dry. Custom printing turns every bundle into a branded retail display.
Protect palletized and crated goods during outdoor staging areas, loading docks, and open-deck transport. Woven PP outperforms stretch wrap in outdoor environments where UV exposure and wind abrasion destroy PE film within days. Anti-slip coating keeps wrapped pallets stable during stacking and transit.

Our Process
We manufacture lumber wrap to your exact width, length, and performance requirements.
We work with you to define the exact roll width, length, and sleeve type — tubular, half, or flat — along with fabric weight, UV stabilization level, and any additional requirements such as anti-slip coating, lamination, or custom printing. Our team can recommend configurations based on your bundle dimensions and storage conditions.
Your lumber wrap is produced on high-speed circular looms using UV-stabilized polypropylene resin. Rolls are cut and wound to your exact specifications, with printing and coatings applied inline. Every production run follows your approved specification sheet to ensure consistency across orders.
Each production lot undergoes tensile strength testing, UV exposure verification, and dimensional inspection. We check fabric weight, roll length, sleeve width, and coating adhesion. Every roll that ships meets your specification — no exceptions.
Finished rolls are palletized and shipped via LTL or full truckload freight, optimized for your delivery schedule. Rolls are available starting at 2,000 feet for operational flexibility, and we offer scheduled delivery programs for operations that consume wrap on a predictable cycle.
Technical Guide
Woven polypropylene is the preferred material for lumber wrapping because it combines strength with breathability. Stretch wrap and PE film trap moisture against the wood surface, creating conditions for mold, mildew, and staining — defects that reduce lumber grade and cost money.
Woven PP allows air circulation while still blocking rain, dirt, and UV damage. This breathability is especially critical for green or partially dried lumber that continues to release moisture after bundling. The result is cleaner, higher-grade lumber at the point of delivery, whether that destination is a local building supply yard or an overseas port.
Sackora manufactures lumber wrap for sawmills, lumber yards, wood exporters, building supply distributors, and engineered wood producers across Canada and the United States. Our rolls are custom cut to your exact width (60–120 cm), length, and sleeve configuration.
Every roll is produced with UV-stabilized PP resin, and we offer optional anti-slip coating to prevent bundle shifting during transport, lamination for enhanced moisture barrier, and up to 6-colour flexographic printing for company branding and product identification. Whether you need a truckload of standard tubular sleeves or a custom-engineered wrap for non-standard bundle dimensions, we deliver competitive pricing with freight-optimized shipping.
Lumber wrap spends its entire working life outdoors, exposed to direct sunlight in log yards, staging areas, and port storage facilities. Without adequate UV stabilization, polypropylene fabric degrades rapidly — losing tensile strength, becoming brittle, and tearing during handling. In northern climates like Canada, where lumber may sit in a mill yard for weeks or months before shipment, UV protection is not optional. It is a fundamental performance requirement.
Sackora's lumber wrap is manufactured with HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) compounded directly into the polypropylene resin before extrusion. Unlike surface-applied UV coatings that wear off with abrasion, HALS additives are distributed throughout the fabric structure and provide long-lasting protection. Our standard UV stabilization provides 200–400 hours of accelerated weathering resistance, which translates to approximately 3–6 months of real-world outdoor exposure depending on latitude, altitude, and seasonal sun intensity.
For operations that require extended outdoor storage — particularly export yards, port staging areas, and seasonal inventory holds — we offer enhanced UV packages with higher HALS concentrations. When specifying your lumber wrap order, tell us how long your wrapped bundles typically sit outdoors and in what geographic region. We will recommend the right UV stabilization level to ensure your wrap remains intact and protective for the full duration of exposure.
Lumber wrap is available in three primary configurations: tubular sleeves, half sleeves, and flat rolls. Each serves a different operational need, and choosing the right one depends on your bundle dimensions, application method, and the level of protection required.
Tubular sleeves are the most popular configuration for standard dimensional lumber. The sleeve slides directly over the end of a lumber bundle, providing full 360-degree coverage with no seams or overlaps. This is the fastest application method — one worker can sleeve a bundle in seconds — and provides the most consistent, uniform protection. Tubular sleeves are ideal for high-volume sawmill operations where speed and consistency are critical. The key is specifying the correct width: measure the circumference of your standard bundle and add 5–10% for fit tolerance.
Half sleeves are open along one edge, forming a U-shape that wraps around three sides of a bundle. They are the right choice for oversized or irregularly shaped loads that will not fit through a standard tubular sleeve, such as wide engineered wood panels or mixed-dimension bundles. Half sleeves require slightly more labor to apply and secure, but they offer flexibility that tubular sleeves cannot match.
Flat rolls provide maximum versatility. The wrap is dispensed from a roll and cut to length on site, allowing workers to wrap loads of any size or shape. Flat rolls are preferred by operations that handle a wide variety of product dimensions, or that use automated wrapping equipment with integrated cut-and-seal systems. The trade-off is slower manual application compared to pre-sized sleeves, but the flexibility is unmatched for mixed-product operations.
Why Choose Us
We work directly with sawmills, lumber yards, and wood exporters across Canada and the United States. Our team understands log yard conditions, seasonal storage cycles, and the handling abuse that lumber wrap endures in active mill environments. We also know the export wrapping requirements for international markets, including containerized and break-bulk shipments.
Every roll is manufactured with HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) compounded into the polypropylene resin, not applied as a surface coating. Our standard 200–400 hour UV rating translates to approximately 3–6 months of real-world outdoor exposure. Enhanced UV packages are available for extended storage in high-exposure environments like port yards and southern latitudes.
We manufacture lumber wrap in widths from 60 to 120 cm, with roll lengths tailored to your consumption rate and equipment setup. Whether you need sleeves sized to match your standard 2x4 bundles or custom-width flat rolls for oversized engineered wood panels, we cut to your exact dimensions so every roll fits your operation without waste or rework.
We offer container-load pricing for high-volume operations and scheduled delivery programs that align shipments with your production cycle. Our logistics team optimizes freight by consolidating orders and routing shipments to minimize per-roll delivery cost. The result is a lower total cost per wrapped bundle, not just a lower roll price.

Woven polypropylene lumber wrap is significantly stronger and more durable than PE stretch wrap. It resists tearing from forklift tines, sharp lumber edges, and rough yard handling that would shred stretch film. Woven PP provides UV stabilization for months of outdoor exposure, while stretch wrap degrades in sunlight within days. Critically, woven PP is breathable — it allows trapped moisture to escape, preventing the mold and staining that stretch wrap causes on green or partially dried lumber. The per-bundle cost of woven PP is higher than stretch film, but the reduction in damaged and downgraded lumber more than offsets the material cost for most operations.
For tubular sleeves, measure the circumference of your standard lumber bundle (the distance around all four sides) and add 5–10% for fit tolerance. For example, a bundle that measures 100 cm around would need a tubular sleeve width of approximately 105–110 cm. For half sleeves, measure the three sides you want to cover and add the same tolerance. If you send us your bundle dimensions, our team will calculate the optimal sleeve width for your operation.
Yes. We offer up to 6-colour flexographic printing on lumber wrap, including company logos, product names, grade stamps, handling instructions, and contact information. Custom-printed lumber wrap turns every bundle into a branded product and helps with identification throughout the supply chain. Printing is applied inline during manufacturing and does not affect fabric performance or UV resistance.
Store unused rolls indoors or under cover, away from direct sunlight. While our lumber wrap is UV-stabilized for outdoor use once applied to bundles, prolonged unprotected storage of unused rolls will consume UV stabilizer life before the wrap is put into service. Rolls stored in a dry, covered warehouse maintain full performance for 12 months or longer. Avoid storing rolls directly on concrete floors where moisture can wick into the fabric — use pallets or racking.
