Covers That Protect What You Sow
Bunker Covers rank amongst the strongest, most reliable, and time-tested covers on the market. Our range of multi-layer, premium covers can assist you in reducing spoilage while giving you an airtight seal for quality products.
We have the capacity to produce a large number of grain storage covers with quick transportation.
What Makes Our Covers so Special for Your Crops?
Our agricultural experts provide progressive service with a focus on the manufacturing quality of agricultural products. We are committed to building integrity between our products and people.
Welded Seams
Our fully welded seams run across the bunkers, as recommended by the fabric manufacturer, preventing any leakage. This also increases the strength of the grain cover while helping with water shedding.
Wide Range
We offer a wide range of different fabrics, sizes, and colors, depending on your needs and requirements.
Superior Material
There are several materials we use for grain covers, depending on your stockpile, longevity, and conditions. Each cover is produced with high-quality welds engineered to provide high strength and durability.
Additional Features
- Our bunker covers can include tarp stenciling based on your specifications.
- We only use premium quality fabrics for all manufacturing.
- Covers are quick to be pulled back, allowing quick access to contents
- Lightweight material which allows for easy handling.
- Larger covers arrive in manageable rolls or folded in a way you can connect.
Packaging Format
Grain bunker covers have become an accepted and popular method in providing temporary on-farm grain storage. Bunker covers are significantly more reasonable as compared to purchasing multiple field bins. Once your bunker site is prepared, you can use it year after year, and we have just the right formats to fit your needs.
This is a 7-layer technology for better preservation of bulky foods such as grass and hay. This high-quality tarp is manufactured using next-generation EVOH resins and is more air-tight and puncture resistant compared to traditional covers. With a green and black color, these products come with a sealing film that stunts air or gasses from passing through.
Why choose a Combo Bunker Cover?

PCR material is made from recycled plastic, which is then processed into resin that can be used to make new packaging. This gives the packaging a second life and massively reduces the amount of plastic waste.
Join us on our sustainable journey and help leave a light footprint on earth with our PCR plastic and sustainable innovations.
What PCR can do for you:
- Less wasteful than new plastic
- Reduces waste production
- Same characteristics as regular plastics.
Technologies

Used as a protective barrier that is placed directly on the ground as a layer of defense against weeds.
Polyester (PES):
This is a transparent, high-performance polymer known for its dimensional stability at extremely high temperatures.
Polyamide/ Nylon (PA):
A fantastic choice for packaging that demands high puncture resistance, toughness, and mechanical strength.
Polypropylene (PP):
A high-clarity film offering consumers a glimpse of the content before purchase.
EVOH Barrier:
This consists of a range of extrudable plastic barrier materials with excellent barrier properties for a variety of components.
Oxygen Barrier:
This is a coating that is applied to the film as an optional feature that would prevent oxygen from passing through.

ROTOGRAVURE
With the use of high-definition rotogravure printing, your possibilities are endless. You can utilize this technology to create some of the most captivating graphics of your choice. This printing technology is a great way to showcase the high quality of your products.
DIGITAL PRINTING
Digital printing in packaging is the process of directly transferring a digital file to a printer to be used on packaging materials. The digital files are converted to communicate a more accurate color output from screen to print. Digital printing does not require any manual setup.
FLEXOGRAPHIC
Flexographic printing is a technique utilizing a flexible printing plate to print images with a high line count. This technology adapts extremely well to various materials and can use a wider range of inks, such as water-based and UV colors. Due to its high adaptability, it can be printed on almost any substrate, like plastic, metal, or paper.
