For Repackers & Converters

Third Choice Bales

Compressed hygiene product bales at deep discount prices. Maximum value for repackers, converters, and bulk traders.

What Are Third Choice Bales?

Bales are compressed bundles of hygiene products that don't meet first or second choice standards but are fully functional. They're sorted, compressed into 150-300kg bundles, and sold at significant discounts.
