A packaging system, which is designed to apply a bale packaging on a compressed pressed bale, the packaging system comprising:
- a transporting device to remove a compressed pressed bale from a press, the transporting device comprising a movable bale receptacle for picking up a compressed pressed bale on two opposite sides, wherein the bale receptacle has a plurality of elongated support elements located at spaced locations from one another in the areas provided for retaining the pressed bale;
- and
- a bale press for compressing the pressed bale being held in the bale receptacle.
A bale press plant comprising:
- a bale press for forming and compressing pressed bales;
- and
