bala(s)


Explanation:
A text similar to yours, in Spanish, referring to waste paper:

Un perfeccionamiento del sistema es la utilización de prensas para formar balas de papel, y, mejor aún, si se realiza una selección de calidades de papel y cartón se consiguen mejores precios de venta y se da ocupación a un mayor número de personas.
Para el prensado del papel recogido pueden emplearse prensas manuales o automáticas, con accionamiento mecánico, eléctrico, neumático o hidráulico. El costo de una prensa para formar balas de 50 Kg aproximadamente oscila entre los 1.000 EUROS y los 12.000 en función de producciones y automatismos. Consulte con nuestros técnicos para encontrar la mejor solución al problema concreto de su comunidad o centro productivo.

From the D.R.A.E. for “bala”

4. En el comercio, cualquier fardo apretado de mercaderías, y en especial de los que se transportan embarcados.

Hope it helps.
